employee abuse
i have been an employee at this company for a couple of years now. i have seen quite a bit of how this company works. they make us work overtime and have us clock in and out at the time scheduled, because they dont want to pay us over time. they expect us to live at work, to the point people cant pick up their kids when they have to. im a very hard worker, ive worked so many unclocked hours, and days off to try to satisfy the company, and i am the fastest worker in that shop. in the first 6 months i made the company $80, 000... i got paid crap. i've been treated like crap, and same as all my coworkers whom have came and gone, as well as the current ones. ive seen people get hired, and a week later, vanish because of how poorly they were treated. the manager at store 576 (chris allen) is extremely verbally abusive, damages property when hes upset, throws and breaks shop equipment. he was even prescribed medicine to help him stay calm, which seemed to work, but he shortly stopped taking them. I was in a car accident and had a cervical sprain and some other injuries that lead me to be out for a month, and one of my coworkers heard him on the phone asking if there was a way to fire me??? why would someone do that? anyways, a more very recent event, i woke up had a bug bite of some kind. my finger was a little swollen but i was fine. next day i woke up and my entire hand was swollen about 3x its normal size and i could not move it, so i told my manager, that i had to go to the ER. he was mad of course because i was supposed to open. but again i heard from one of my coworkers, he was on the phone trying to find a way to fire me. something needs to be done about all this. me and my coworkers have already considered getting a lawyer(s). it's not right, and i can't just quit because its hard to find a job. ive heard too much complaining and its time to make some changes in this company
