CSA being assigned to do inventory counts/fudging numbers?
Hi! I’m a part-time CSA that’s been working at Walgreens for a little more than three years while I’ve been in college.
Yesterday, I was asked to do something I’ve never done before and was told to do inventory counts. According to my shift lead, the district manager got pissed that our counts are way out of whack, and we needed to update them. However, when I asked what to do if our inventory count was higher than our product line, I was told not to decrease quantity because it allegedly would show up bad for our store on whatever metric was getting sent to outside management.
So two questions I suppose, one, is this something new that CSAs are doing or is this something that’s been around since before Sycamore took over? Second thing is that should I report this to someone? Or will people higher up also be complicit?
