I’ve been working Flow Team since September 25, so it’s been about 60 days.
I’ve been told I move slow A LOT, and received 2 coachings for that. I haven’t received a third, but my boss constantly says he’d have it done way before, even when my TL, (or is the term LOD?) says I’m fast (he actually told me I’ve improved and move faster now).
Other coworkers said the boss is a dick, to everyone, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m completely vulnerable for the first 90 days (if I even last 90 days) and if he wants to get me fired even just to be a dick, he can make it happen.
Every damn morning I’m put in DOLLAR (front of the store with tons of $1-$10 items) and have to do it ALL BY MYSELF, and I’m given what I feel are unreasonable times (even if my TL says I’m fast, the boss and store manager are higher up, the store manager is the actual decider) to complete the pulls. Today I had a FULL, TALL, flat of boxes, AND a tub. My boss said that should take two hours (when the store opened). I managed to finish the tub in those hours, so I had to do the flat with the store open. (I go in at 6 AM) So I finished the tub but still have the flat at 8 AM, the store now open. I continue working, delaying my break. I knock out about half of the flat after I don’t know. My boss comes by and tells me “Take your break.” I take my break. I finish the flat at about 10 AM, then go to seasonal as instructed.
But before I finished dollar, the store manager walked into the store, and my boss showed him the flat and raised his hand up, obviously showing how much I had, most likely telling him how long it took me to do that much.
I’m terrified I’m going to be let go, retail has been brutal for me, there’s no way I could keep up in fast food, that’d be even way worse.
I’m 22 and haven’t done shit in my life, and I can’t until I’ve got some sort of stable full time employment, I can’t stand shit at home, I want and need to move out so bad, but I keep struggling in the work force. The hardest thing is the speed/pace they require. I thought the boss may just be harassing me cause he always jokes like that, but then the store manager came by and said it should be just as fast as the boss said (this was yesterday when I had 4 tubs, which I managed to finish 3 in 2 Hours, which my boss said was ok, as long as things weren’t blocking guests).
So yesterday, I got about 75% of my work done before the store happened, and today more like 50%, I finished everything in about 4 hours.......
It’d take even longer if I didn’t start just throwing things somewhere, like all the packs of pencils, god how I hate those....... I am flexing like I’m tokd to do though, but so many things like the orchids end up piled so bad over shelf slots, but that’s the only way to finish in time, which STILL takes longer than 2 hours!
Oh ya, today I also lost my box cutter and had to get a new one, my boss said that’s bad because children could find it and operate the blade. I did find it, but still, I looked bad for that, look at what he said!
It doesn’t even matter if they are mistreating and harassing me, that still doesn’t change the fact that they can terminate me anytime, for any reason, before 90 days.
