Support for adoption partners
I will miss seeing pets everyday and my coworkers but it’s time to move on. The company has stressed me out so much between not having enough employees, rude customers, having to push programs, and now these “desk pets” I’ve had enough.
I want to talk about my biggest issue with the company and it’s the lack of support for our adoption partners. We were told we can’t even have a donation bin at our registers and that’s the very least we should be doing. Our adoption partner is struggling so much with not having donations for food and with it being kitten season the problem will only get worse. I firmly believe any time someone clicks to donate at the register it should go to the adoption partner associated with your store, not to mention the perfectly good food and treats we get returned that we have to throw out. I’m guilty of donating it regardless at times. I didn’t do it for every return so it wouldn’t be suspicious but it’s sad I had to sneak around at all. I figured if I got fired for it that at least it was for a good cause The lack of support for them has broken my heart. These are good people who give their time to save animals and we can’t even give them the bare minimum. If anyone has any ideas how we can change this and bring attention to it I would appreciate it. Now that I don’t work there I feel like I can try and make a difference without having to worry about job security for speaking out against the company.
