BAD MANAGER & inappropriate work environment
I started working for Safeway July 30 I worked a total of one week and then had to change my shift because I was just diagnosed with cancer. My regional manager refuse to call me for a month after I went in three times politely asking for a shift and then called 12 times being hung up on five and then being told that the manager was unavailable the other half of the time . I eventually had to quit my job and start looking for another one. Mind you the only thing I told them is that I had severe health issues that required more time during the night for me to sleep because of the medication that I am going to be taking. When I had gone in to quit my job I had two checks waiting for me no one had I told me when I was going to be paid, no one had been concerned enough with being under staffed, and that when I actually quit he handed me my checks and literally walked away no thank you for working with us no I apologize for your problems that you had while you were working here and I worked Technically for this company for a total of 2 1/2 months. During that time the conditions of the store were horrible I worked making donuts and I could literally smell the mold from the kitchen & it was making me sick. employment safety was at an all time low, And the standards for the store excuse my language but complete utter bullshit. Other employees were constantly complaining about problems & the manager just didn’t give an absolute flying fuck.
To behonest with you it seems like he's going under water himself he's just afloat. But regardless people don't under when you do wrong to others it will come back on you. And what i believe is that he was short staff and truly he probably couldn't find anyone who was will to work in that dump and if was frustrating to him . while you were willing to continue to work their under these differcult circumstances and instead of him putting his attitude aside he just made it bad for himself the only thing you wanted to talk to him about was changing shifts because of your health issues but let me say this that job wasn't for you something better is coming your way just keep putting in your applications / resumes and trust me some one wil be calling you and i do sympathize with you your health means more that working a place where there is mold and you and inhale it. Sometimes things works out in a way that we don't understand and all its doing is work it self out so that you can get a better job. And yes you don't have any other way but to go up because right now things are kind of dim for you. you must have FAITH AND BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL CHANGE THINGS FOR YOU.BECAUSE HOW HE TREATED YOU WAS SO UNFAIR .AND I DO WISH YOU THE BEST WITH YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR JOB SEARCH. AND ONCE YOU GET ANOTHER JOB WILL YOU PLEASE POST SO THAT I CAN SEE HOW THINGS HAS CHANGED FOR YOU. AND STAY STRONG.
Wow that's is so ugly of a person plus very unprofessional to me.
I had one that gave me 7 x11 sheet of paper like 10 lines on sheet he told me I had write all that I did all day on this little lines. Then told me I had change my hand writing so he could understand what i wrote
Hi Alice to start with sorry to hear about the cancer just be strong and keep hope!!!!! For the Manager and company well If a place that serve food is like that well I would not want to be part of that to start off so better you are not working at that place!! If I were you I would have report them to the health department and walk away but strongs and good luck.
You should have asked him does the term "Reasonable Accommodation" mean anything to him. Because under the law a cancer diagnosis falls into that preview and he didn't give it to you. It's to bad you quit but I would speak to a worker's comp attorney about this if I were you. Because I'm pretty sure that you have a good case because he didn't follow the law.
I'd report them. Health department and Department of Labor.
They unfortunately hire management that don’t care and have authority complex by being a bully and making employees feel like it’s “their way or the highway”, and in a world where should be more caring of each other because we don’t know what someone may be going through. This is why a company ends up with disgruntled employees! I’m so sorry you went through that BS which was totally unnecessary..❤️
Report him to the health department and get his food license revoked, that will make him care.
Normal retail job environment....i wish you told them you had cancer they would have accommodated you. 'Severe health issue's not a diagnoses.
I do not think that Safeway will be around much longer so I doubt that anyone working in management will care about the employees or the store. However, that is no excuse for terrible managers. If you do not care about your employees, you should find a different line of work. I am sorry you were treated so poorly.
