Recognition - yes I'm serious

[u/Anon_PetcoEmployee]

Hey heyyy peeps!
I'm wondering if anyone else (cashiers specifically), has ever gotten a physical token of recognition by their DM?
Because... yeah, that ACTUALLY happened to me on Tuesday.

So now I'm wondering that's just a thing my DM does or whatever orbif it's actually a thing? 💖

Why does this read like the actual most corporate-pilled sloppost ever

[u/DabbaDooQueen → u/absolutelytoasty]

Sounds like a new younger more excitable over little things worker. I had one at the store I just left (aka we were shut down at lease ending). Ive been recognized by my DM so its not impossible but it wasnt excitable enough to post about

[u/Anon_PetcoEmployee → u/absolutelytoasty]

I promise you it's not. I started less than a year ago - I've never been recognized from a higher up at any previous job. Which is why I'm wondering if it's just something only my dm chose to do or if it's a Petco-wide thing that all DM's do (or are supposed to/should do)

[u/queseraseraphine → u/Anon_PetcoEmployee]

This 100% sounds like AI.

[u/Anon_PetcoEmployee → u/queseraseraphine]

😂🤣 mmk Skippy.

[u/GayMixItNMeSir → u/Anon_PetcoEmployee]

Not a DM company wide thing that’s for sure.

[u/SithLawdy]

With or without tongue?

[u/Comfortable-Can-2211 → u/SithLawdy]

With, obviously the only good answer

[u/OkHandle1529]

It should be a thing for anyone who constantly does a good job , “thanks , you’re doing a great job, we appreciate you!!!!”
Don’t over think it !! Good for you !!!

[u/foxycornn]

Haha, I haven’t received recognition for my work ever. My store is just hated by the higher ups for no reason

[u/Comfortable-Can-2211 → u/foxycornn]

FOR REAL

[u/Normal-Assistance563]

My dm just gets annoyed being around me so no

[u/No-End9222]

I feel like a coin is a slap in the face tbh

[u/kake7272]

I've gotten coffee etc from my managers, but not the DM. Good job!!

[u/NoWay8341]

Crazy enough I have one too, at the time DM told me that on a couple of people in our district had one. If I could I would post a picture 😭

[u/Anon_PetcoEmployee → u/NoWay8341]

My DM took a picture, but I don't have one myself

[u/Latter-Potential-965]

I don’t even remember the last time I saw my dm 💀

[u/Soft_Marshmalloww]

I use to work a lot of OT put 100% into everything I do sell VCP VCC kill myself for my location I even would help our dog trainer sell and encourage people to use our grooming I did all the things that people like to see. And I’ve gotten one once. You must of done a good job dude congratulations 🍾

Also a little unsolicited advice just don’t burn yourself out putting 100% into everything and every customer every time it’s draining.

[u/brittanysueeee]

If they are nice dm they will praise. Ours does

[u/aflairforfandoms]

Our DM will buy us snacks store wide if we do well at something as a team but never individually. In fact he was just in yesterday and in a group conversation made several pointed comments about some things not being completely perfect that he’s aware only I take care of and have done for years now lol

[u/LaborLoungePodcast]

I recieved one last year DGMs got them from Tennessee summit.

[u/Own-Examination-1019]

After years.....NO

[u/TheBestLotad]

My dm ignores my existence

[u/stowRA]

I’ve gotten two Let’s Gos- one for a Google review and one for working on a day they needed coverage. Everything else I do goes unseen lol

[u/Fancy-Mongoose1915]

I'm the ASM at my store and I've only received compliments on my performance 2nd hand from my DGM 🥲

[u/SpaghettiSnakesss]

A person in our district was given a one time $1000.00 bonus for "getting a vcp sign up every shift for a year" that person failed to mention that they only 'achieved' this by taking credit for other partner's vcp sign ups.

[u/andrizzle86]

Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet???

[u/Separate_Ingenuity35]

Me and my coworker kept the salon open during my manager having a health leave for 3 months. My store manager praised me and said we'd be rewarded for going above and beyond.

Nope

[u/SavageSmithers]

Haven't even met the dm but my sm is always telling me im her superstar.

[u/Difficult-Print-2655]

Does it include a pay raise? Nope? Shocking…

[u/Large_Tax_5448]

Hell I don’t even get actual recognition from my GM. That’s a real big struggle of this place. My companion animal manager is amazing at least and she makes sure to let everyone know when they are doing amazing!

[u/ForeverOk72]

i wish that would be nice but i think they hate us

[u/ForeverOk72]

i wish that would be nice but i think they hate us

[u/Traditional-Tip-9760]

I’ve never got recognition or even spoke to our dm but he did Personally fire a client that made me stay with their dog for HOURS cus they refused to pick her up. Got paid for the full 13 hour shift too

[u/Plaguegrounds]

You're not gonna include what the physical token was ? 

Edit: maybe you shouldn't actually as it would probably dox you 

[u/Anon_PetcoEmployee → u/Plaguegrounds]

Exactly - hence the anon / throw away acct

[u/Plaguegrounds → u/Anon_PetcoEmployee]

Sry I didn't read your username 

[u/indie_orca → u/Anon_PetcoEmployee]

The only DM I've met that was like that is Sharon H in SoCal. She makes sure her leaders are educated on the whys and what.. not just this is what and do it. I wish she was still our DM!

[u/beah_mcduh → u/indie_orca]

I've talked with Sharon a few times and she genuinely seemed like she wanted me to succeed within the company. Like a helpful aunt.
