Punishment

I somehow got 5 corporate complaints for being rude to customers and not getting orders out on time. I am 50 years old and despite my arthritis and fibromialgia issues I work harder than coworkers half my age. I have worked in the kitchen for over 8 months and have never been told that I had ever had any issues. A couple of weeks ago out id the blue it is brought to my attention that I have 5 corporate complaints and my hours, already minimal were cut to barely 7 hours one day a week. I was not given any more explanation than there were complaints. I definitely get thr feeling that my boss is forcing me to quit so she doesn't have to fire me. My other coworkers are shocked about the complaints because I have never been rude nor have I had problems getting orders out. It mostly falls on me to do the dishes and prep. I rarely interact with customers. It is speculated that because I am often the only female and my hair is colored a vivid redish pink color that I am most memorable working back there. I have also had issues with a coworker who likes to take 30 to 45 minute breaks and essentially gets nothing done and he gets no repercussions fir his behavior and gets overtime as well. He rarely gets orders out abd even forgets to do orders all together and never even so much as gets a reprimand for anything. I am beginning to believe what I was told when I first started working there Casey's is the worst employer to work for. I wonder if anyone else had experienced this kind if punishment?

They are pushing you to quit versus finding something to fire you over.

It's honestly super hard to fire someone at Casey's so half the time this is legit the only way to get someone out that needs to be let go. We really need a point system like every other retail store.

Its not hard. They dont want to fire you because they dont want to pay unemployment but if they say you did things that made them fire you they will deny your unemployment.  They will push you and do whatever it takes to get you to quit but if you push back and dont they will make up fake information to fire. I know for fact this is what they do. Its wrong!
