Employee Frustrations
I’ve been working at my store for four months now as an RSA. Sometimes I work midday, sometimes I open. Opening shifts are never an issue for me as I get out almost always on time then. It’s when I do the midday shifts I get screwed over. Almost all the time.
For the last week and a half, I have been getting out much later than I’m supposed to. I’d be scheduled to clock out at 5, I don’t clock out until closer to 6 while the others who are supposed to clock out at 4, get out at 4 or a couple minutes after. I’m fully aware I’m supposed to bridge the gap between them and whoever closes, but that’s not supposed to include getting out way after I’m supposed to. The manager who closed Tuesday was surprised I was in 15 minutes past. When he was made aware of the issue, he was frustrated (bless that manager) and actually put more effort to get me out on time when he closes so I’m glad he’s putting in the effort to get out on time when he closes.
The first time it happened, it was one thing. But the second time, I kept getting told I was going to be counted down, but the manager kept forgetting to count me down (different manager). It was so bad, the closing staff had to help me find the manager so I can count down. My body wasn’t able to move after that. A 5 hour shift became nearly 6 and my boyfriend was worried sick. He had to pick me up because my legs couldn’t carry me home.
Has anyone else ever been in my situation where you’re forced to stay with zero warning? I don’t feel that I’m being respected as an employee at the store I work at and I’m at the verge of just quitting.
