After a week that was nothing short of amazing due largely to a friend of mine, I go to work one day and find out that a large number of people got laid off…including my friend! Not due to performance or behavior, they were simply just let go with no notice, nothing!
I am angry and I hate this!!! These were good people and in particular my friend was very hard working! You may say I’m biased because I care about this person but ask anyone I work with (in reality, don’t, because that place is gossip central) and they will tell you how everyone loved this one guy.
They love firing people at my store for little or no reason with little or no notice. Anyone could be next. I keep getting in trouble for not satisfying customers enough because we’re short handed now (because they went and fired everyone) so it could be my day tomorrow for all I know. I can’t stand working somewhere where the axe of doom hangs over my head daily. I’ve never had a job where I didn’t have at least the most basic expectation to be employed beyond the end of my shift. But this one…every minute of every day we’re all basically waiting until management comes along and goes “Off with your head!”
I am dependent on my job. I do not have a car to get around with and just find another. So I am understandably terrified and wanting to get out of there before they cut more people and get rid of me, but don’t have a way of applying too many other places.
And I am really really frickin’ angry that they fired my friend! That’s just wrong and I worry about him now. I’d reccommend you all go shop at target and k-mart instead of my joyous happy face company, but if you happen to live in my city, don’t do that or we’ll lose business and then I’ll be fired for sure!
