Re: It is not society's job to raise your kids, people

I was working in retail but recently left the job (which is why I can go on F!S early and actually comment woo), but I got really frustrated with people a lot, and I'm normally very optimistic. I just hate when people aren't nice to the employees at a place, or when corporate makes a decision they have to get all passive agressive and mean to me about it, when I did squat.

I left my job for a few reasons, but another was because it was really frustrating how the management expected us to do everything. I worked at a store with two floors and two check out areas because of that. Sales floor staff was expected to do their job AND to respond to the check out areas whenever they didn't schedule enough people to take care of it. So I would go and help out whenever I could, but then when my sales floor work got behind because of it they would get kind of annoying about THAT. On one of my last days I was helping out at the downstairs check out area when they requested help at the upstairs one. One of the management people got mad because I didn't respond to the upstairs one. When I was already working downstairs.

My job situation isn't the greatest now, but god I'm glad I left that place.

I used to have to work in three physical areas at once (shoes, register, and catalogue orders) because it was a small store and I could run from one place to the other if I saw somewhere there. That's how my manager reasoned it. It was the worst though, because people would super pissed if someone wasn't standing IN the shoe dept. or AT the register or if they knew I saw them in another area but had to wait because I was with someone else.

That's exactly what they did at my store. They had me trained everywhere in the store, but day to day I would be assigned one section and would have to a. talk to guests/help them b.help at registers c. do the job they are actually paying me fore (tidying/straightening shelves and putting out stock). This gets old fast.

Target is a lot like that. You're expected to back up cashier, zone ALL OF HARDLINES, sometimes only with one or two other people, and then help out softlines or electronics, plus call other stores for customers, plus sort reshop, plus do left over push. It was so damn frustrating.

Guess where I worked but I didn't want to mention by name, lol. I also worked right next to corporate, so they had really high expectations for us.

It was like that when I worked at PetSmart. It was not company policy for it to be like that, and the store is apparently much better to work at now that the manager has been removed, but it was a common thing on weekday afternoons for the entirety of the staff to be me at the cash register, one person in fish and small animals, and a manager hiding in the office and refusing to come out and help with anything.

It's been almost four years since I left, and I still miss some of the clients, but dear God do I not miss my coworkers.
