I have never been so mistreated at a job in my life. I'm giving my notice this week since I finally have had enough and can't take it anymore. My boss must be bipolar because one minute she is yelling at you and the next asking how you are doing. Every day there is some sort of issue that is made into a bigger deal than it is. For instance, a few days ago I came into work and the moment I walked into the door I was getting reprimanded. I was told I lost a point on our audit because I had left water bottles in my drawer in my department. My boss said we aren't allowed water on the floor and I told her if I can't drink water than I can't be here and she tells me she is making an exception. Since when is it OK for a business to tell it's employees they cannot drink water? It's not in the employee manual because I read the entire thing. I shrugged it off since it's not like a bottle of water is going to make the company lose money....pick your battles and this one is stupid. My boss gets in my face and tells me "This is VERY serious." Really now? A bottle of water in a drawer is serious??? This is the kind of petty things I have to deal with every single day of my life. Truck day is the worst. You come in sometimes at 7am and are not allowed to go home until everything is put up which is often around 10:30pm. You only get 2 half hour lunches within that time. This company is having its employees work more than 12 hours a day and they get a total of 1 measly hour to eat?? And forget breaks..you won't get them even though you are allowed. Every time I have tried to take a break, I have gotten in trouble. Going 6 hours without food is inexcusable and I won't tolerate it anymore. You get written up for everything and it's idiotic. If you are on the register and you forget to put your initial on a check, write up. We were given these flyers with the app info on it to give to the customers. I was told I have to manually hand them to each person. Do they realize that most people don't want stuff handed to them. They say, put it in my bag, or I don't want that or look at me strangely. I just put the paper in their bag. Well, I got told that it's on video and if we get audited and they see that, it's a point off our audit. Why don't they concentrate on what's important and not these mediocre issues they keep coming up with? Focus on what would really be an issue, and not these childish reasons to write everyone up and then fire them over it. Yeah, I'm going to call unemployment and when they ask me why I got fired, I'm going to say, because I didn't cut the coupons correctly and put my initials on them. Christian???? What a joke! The company uses that as a guise to lure people in that think they are going into a faith based environment. I've never felt so worthless and depressed in my life. I go into work and within an hour I'm in tears and wanting to run out the door. I'm thankful that soon enough I don't have to endure the abuse any longer. I'm out of there and I'm not looking back. I have sooooo much more I want to say, but I will end up writing a book because there is that much wrong with this company.
