I worked as a cashier for a company that lets just say has some very dark plotting baddies that are long term employees and who plot against new arrivals so they don't remain employed for long. Mainly because the baddies set up the new arrivals to take the blame for things that are the baddies doing. Or that are the result of poor training by lazy corrupt managers.
Now I'm wondering at my chances of getting another job if I omit the bad shop that I worked at for a few months. One application I filled out today asked if I'd been gainfully employed in the last 22 months. If I gave that bad shop as a reference the record the baddies set me up with will be reported. Which makes for a really bad reference.
They've had 10 employees, now including me today, who have quit in the last month and a half.
I was everything the long term employees who get away with all sorts of dirt including stealing from the til are not. Friendly to the customers, greeting them when they'd enter the shop, genuinely happy and cordial, helpful, and of course honest. One customer complimented me out loud. Calling me by name, which was on my name tag, and saying how wonderful it was and refreshing to be waited on by someone genuinely glad to see them.
The sourpusses I worked with loved to hear that I'm sure. They ignore customers, gossip with the ones they've known for years while other customers are waiting their turn. Managers don't say a word.
The tension in that shop was palpable when you walked through the door. Like someone set up static electric charges all through it. One long time manager quit because the newest manager insisted he return to work even having been diagnosed with COVID-19. Seems he was only allowed to be off work for three days. When the then quarantine period was 10 days. He was told he had to get someone to cover his shift or else. Yeah, come to work when still suffering the impact of COVID-19 or else! Put all the employees and countless customers at risk. Because you can't have off longer than three days even with a doctors note.
I'm venting I realize. I'm just wondering if anyone else has been there. Or if you have any advice as to how I might obtain another job without using that place as a reference. Because when they work to sabotage new employees in house, I won't let myself imagine what they'll do to former one's if they have to use that shop as a reference when seeking a new job.
I think that's what they look forward to actually. Making life so difficult in shop that we quit. Knowing if we use that job as a reference the managers, that are all that's wrong with the place, will get the last word by giving a horrible reference that may insure we don't get another job.
And today all the big wigs from corporate office were to arrive at that shop. Seems they were really upset about something and were all heading in to talk to the manager. Who is the one they should fire. As just the start of cleaning the place up.
OK, done venting now.
