I hate my depatment so much sometimes. I only really hate that they will say they will do things honestly and then 2 or 3 people get special privledges.. Don’t lie to us! If you are going to be unfair- then just be unfair and leave the lying out! Recently our department decided to change everybodys schedule. We have been not hiring to see how far they can push us with the few employees we have left. Well over time the shifts have been so off balance that they needed to revamp the schedules. Out of 103 cashiers I was number 82. I have been in the department for well over 2 years. The main problem with the schedule was that there was a chance I would be pushed to graveyard.
The way they did it was fair enough, they started with #1 and went number by number until they were done. The only problem was that some people on day shift would get pushed to swing shift (my shift). Well here is where the favoritism started.. One of the cashiers refused to work graveyard and couldn’t go to swing because her boyfriend was a swing supervisor.. So even though she was supposed to pick after me (she somehow is on days now..) The next issue I had was another cashier (who was like 14 numbers after me..) she was considered graveyard but switched with someone so she could work days without actually losing her place.. When it came time to pick, she got to pick in the place of the person she was switching with.. Meaning instead of being last on the list- she got to pick like in the 30’s.. Thats real fair. I just don’t see how the managers wouldn’t think that any of us cashiers would not figure it out. When they do something like turn our lives upside down- we are going to be a little defensive when people that don’t deserve it get special treatment..
There is this other one too- A cashier that was formerly a supervisor.. When she stepped down they let her keep her seniority and I lost out of the friday saturday off schedule. Everyone else would lose their seniority.. not her.. And magically again when it was time to redo the schedules, she got to keep seniority and has weekends off still. I think it is crap that because you are cool with the managers, that you get special treatment and special days that people wait years to reach seniority to achieve!! Bitches..
