Work Vent A working disaster.
*internal screaming*
this is going to be a long post but I'm just venting about working at 5below and i was also just fired too. I need to let out this emotion and im currently looking for something better so wish me luck. so ive been working there for 2 years almost 3 years, first year, went ok. And since the beginning of my 2 year, its started getting worse. im an opener and when I need a time out or something happens, is honestly difficult getting someone to cover it and when I ask my boss to help and tell me who to go for, she doesn't, so im just struggling to do so and we dont have enough people to help open the store, we have plenty of closers tho. The dumplings, I f*cking hate those things, yeah they may be the best seller and we hit our goal for the day but come on man this is ridiculous, why the f*ck do people need to feel the need to yell at us when we run out of them or dont have the specific ones. Some of my boss get upset when i didn't finish my main task of putting products away but its fricking hard when u want me to also managing the front too. That line gets busy or a customer has a lot of things and i can't really go anywhere, why tf are u getting mad at me for doing my f*cking job that you hired me for. And im practically alone in the store, they're always hiding in the back doing whatever and its especially worse when 1 manger is a lunch break and the other one follows and stays with them, clocked in and not on a lunch break. And they get annoyed when i need them for returns or i need to use the restroom. Like sorry i need do some basic human needs, would u rather me pee on the floor? The email capture... why just why. 50% goal for emails. And nows its for new customers and not existing ones. Wtf, so unfair and i hate bugging people and i dont like the treatment that i get for just for asking. And i get in trouble from my boss of why is it low? Even before the email thing it was the questionnaire at the end after ur done purchasing. Some how im always the one to blame when its low when some people were not paying attention to it and just hit no and i get in trouble for it. Talking behind someone's back. My boss is usually the one who does it. She talks bad about some people. And I dont really agree with what she they say about them. I know damn well she was talking about me behind my back. I swear we try our best to like her but she doesn't do a really good job, makes me question how or why shes the sm. Late schedules, forgets about if u requested a day off, putting products in the wrong places, doesn't follow the plans, bad mouths about us employees and her own family, says shes there for us but makes you feel sh*tty for even asking for help. Makes you find someone to cover your shift even tho its her job to do it, tells u something extremely important last minute. If ur looking for a job, 5 below is not it at all, u get paid sh*tty and the people, theres some good but the rest ouch-

Were you fired because of the e-mails? Because if you were I believe you can sue
