A little employment ranting

| | Comments (0)

First, lucky I didn't post this message yesterday, because it had some heavy steam to be blown.

Now, for a little description of ickyness about yesterday.

Schedules had to change, and we had to cut down hours, that sucked, and it wasted a bit of my time.
Issues in the business side were plain old stupid and highly avoidable, that drained some more time.
Lazy managers added a bit to it all.
Unresposive managers topped the insult.
Because one manager can't open without ahead cashier I had to go the day without a second string cashier.
Also, my main cashier had to leave because he was sick, so me and coworker had to take short hastened lunches.
The scanner didn't work, and the money counting machine was half busted (they both work now, but at that night, they were a pain)
The backup tape wasn't changed till afternoon, which was just annoying at night.
I reiterate the fact that the schedules were changed, and most coverage is now eliminated, and the Head cashiers will have to pick up the slack.
The morning stuff wasn't done, and due to many issues and uncessary pages, and laziness of other people, I didn't get to do it
Managers override each other on decisions, it sucks. I had someone to cover a register while I closed, but then another manager decided otherwise.
I had to then tend to a register, and just delay even more the closing stuff.
The folder was a bit messy, and due to a wonderful paper jam from the previous night, I was missing plenty of paperwork
No time to take care of customer issues that have been due for a freaking week.
No time to organize the work enviroment, file things, or take care of anything feisable.
Audits couldn't be done.
The store is a mess, and noone really knows what the hell goes on.
Tags are wrong, and misdated.
It's a daily strugle to have to price match 5 to 10 tags because they were erroneous, or do outrageous deals because someone forgot to take a promo tag off.
If something is not done, someone besides them is always blamed, even though the job was not assigned to the other person, and the original person was to do the work.
We forget to call issues in, and if we do we don't have time to deal with them.
Machies are slowly breaking, and there's no time to troubleshoot.
Boxes are misplaced.
We have items, and no idea who's the customer we are holding them for, yet we have the item locked up in an office.
There's a huge lack of coverage everyday on almost every section. People wonder around aimlessly and a lot of times leave.
Managers don't answer managers pages and customers walk out.
Managers hide in their offices at times. I do sincerelly mean hide.
All my cashiers have special requests. Everyone has tight schedules, and people keep switching and want to leave early.
There's no respect for decisions or authority overall.
Me and Frantz need access to certain databases. We asked for a request, but manager keeps forgetting
No access to databases fucks up requests that we need to look at and causes store more loss.

Tax accruals to do complete utter disregard for the rules.
I repeat the tax issue. We give exempt status to people not even in the sector. People pay tax exempts with cash, and personal cards.
There's half filled paperwork, and we are missing half the proof.
Inventory ends up in all crazy places, and absolutelly noone can find things we have 10+ off.

Anywho... There's plenty more, but I'm just tired of ranting.
