well, I started working here November 7 my 30th birthday. May sound odd to others, but I have been trying to get a job as a night grocer ( which is what they call it in certain areas, but it is more popular called night stocking) nevertheless, I got the job) as we all know right after Halloween is when the holiday season starts ( late October until late December) so I was told at my interview that I would be working a lot of hours which I didn't have a problem with. The first week I worked six days a week second week I noticed my hours decreased A LOT. When I asked what the reason was one of the managers told me " well that's all up to you" I didn't quite understand what he meant, but it came off like I had to earn my hours, which was very odd to me. So after basically begging them for more hours the third week they finally gave me more hours. Mind you this was my first grocery store job and also my first overnight stocking job. So the fourth week comes and I'll look at the schedule. They have me down for one day and that was the day I was currently working at this point I'm confused but more than that irritated because I felt like they were playing games with me. After giving me the runaround. For about three days the lady that hired me. Carrie, I believe her name was tells me the general manager of the store who is in charge of the schedule. Is on vacation so I had to basically wait for him to get back to see which days I worked or if I still worked there at all. When I finally talk to him, he tells me that " we don't expect people to be experts starting out, but I should be able to put up 20 boxes starting out. Mind you my first three weeks I was basically assisting someone else on their isles. I didn't get my own until the third week and I was getting three isles to start out with and I always make sure I get at least two of them done. Each aisle varies some half about 40 to 50 boxes. Some may have 80 boxes some may have about 200. They also told me that I was placing items in the wrong spot which wasn't intentional when I informed them, it wasn't intentional he told me he knew that. At this point, I am basically begging him for another chance it's around Christmas time. I have two kids and I quit my daytime job in order to give this job. My all. I felt like working two jobs was starting to drain me. I would get off this job at 8:30 in the morning and had to be at my second job at 10 in the morning. So basically, I need this job in order to get my kids things for Christmas. He tells me OK give me a call tomorrow I'm going to talk to such and such and get back to you not only was I denied a chance to prove myself he didn't even terminate me properly he just took me off the schedule and told me this job was not for me in a very, and remorseful way. I don't know if this guy has something personal against me, but I could've did this job. I wasn't even there a month and two weeks out of the month I barely got any hours. This was one of the most unfair situation I have ever been in now. I am jobless desperately seeking employment, and my kids will not have the Christmas. They deserve. Mind you this isn't an easy job. It's a lot of work, but I am a very determined person and I wanted this job. All he had to do is give me another chance that I ask for just one week to prove myself he couldn't even do that. He just let me go very unprofessional he right before Christmas. So thanks a lot giant. It's your loss though I could've been a great asset to your company. Meanwhile, there is a guy still working there who starred the same week as me. Who has gotten various complaints And moves very slow but his hours never changed and he wasn't half as determined as I was. I'm just going to leave it at that because I don't want to throw him under the bus. All In all, I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. And I know God has something better in store for me. My main issue is the timing and the way they went about things. Not looking for a handout but if anyone sees this, I just wanted to get my kids a decent Christmas. If you can find it in your heart all donations will be greatly appreciated $progress920. And just to be clear this is the giant in Waldorf Located on Crain Highway. I was hired by a lady named Carrie and fired. By a guy named George. read more
