Archived How difficult is it to redeem yourself in the eyes of Spot?

[Him]

Ever since I've joined Breakroom, I've seen some people get back to that great place they were at in their time with Spot. Whether it be a specific Title in Leadership or just back to doing things they once did because of injury or a personal matter. My question to all is how was the journey? Feedback from all please!!

I am going through family issues, right now. Spot has helped me greatly through this matter. Does that count?

Drama, Shit-Talking, Gossip, Forced Relationships, Dating, Socializing, WTF Moments, That Dumbass Guest and That fine ass ETL that you have a cousin-to-cousin relationship with but would bang anyday... Safe to say Spot is like a second home, never a dull moment.. Spot has helped me to understand that everyone is actually weird lol.

A couple years after I started with spot, I was put on final.
I was pretty sure it was the end with my dept until a TL from another dept asked me if I would consider working in their area.
It was a much-needed opp to show leadership that I deserved a second chance & they took notice.
I'll never forget the TL who gave me that lifeline & the ETL who made it happen.

I know of a TM that learned the life-lessons of work ethics at Spot. For quite some time he was on final due to purely attendance issues. Several of us even said to him "hey dood just call out of you're not going to make it!" but alas ... another NCNS ... and another last chance. Overall, he's a good kid with a good mind and in the past year or so has really brought his game. He's now doing well and has been asked to consider working towards a TL role. So yes, Spot is willing to forgive and move on if you are willing to put forth the effort. Actually, it says quite a bit for the company. I may moan and complain at times but as I've said before I do actually enjoy the place.

I've heard of other big box retailers black-listing employees even after said employee corrects/modifies their behaviour. Again, kudos to Spot for looking at the big picture ... sometimes heehee

I'm pretty sure this is on an ASANTS basis.

I'm hard pressed to believe that every store has leadership that cares.

My mgt does care.

 

[WalksforMiles]

My mgt does care.

I don't doubt that.

Just saying that I find it hard to believe absolutely everyone in any given store will have your best interest at heart.

Everyone won't, but some will.

True I am sure all leadership doesn't care. However, it only takes one person to care and that can make a huge impact/difference in some ones life .

Thing is, I don't feel redeemed.
It makes me uncomfortable to think about & I'm still embarrassed/angry at the circumstances.
