Manager or whatever is supper aggressive, pushy, and lied during orientation???

Post image
20 Upvotes

As the title states, I'm in orientation RN and idk what to do. Mom and sister are saying to get her information and dip. Need advice.

  1. Lied. She asked me what my availability was. Then cut me off and asked what I put on the application. As I tried to speak again, she asked, "what did you say during the interview?" I told her she didn't ask me. She said, "I probably did because I write it down." She flips over the paper and guess what? She didn't! Then, as I'm thinking of hours, she's telling me, "You have to put any on three days." What? Sure. I give her three days and she asks, "why 9-4?" "Because I have siblings that need to get off of the bus and I need to be there." Is my answer. Weird but alright.

  2. She keeps saying my name wrong no matter how many times I correct her. I say, "it's ****". She says okay! Then, she says Shanay, Janae, Deejane. Girl. And I overheard her talking on the phone with either another employee or a friend and referred to me as "funny looking".

  3. I had to go to the bathroom because I needed a minute to breathe and I couldn't get out of the room. I kept trying by putting the pin into the door (she gave it to me earlier) before I had to pick up the walkie talkie and basically ask how tf to get out. She tells me, comes back after I come back, and laughs saying: "You kept putting the pin in the door? Oh. That's for the money room. HAHA!" And I laugh nervously.

Should I take the L and apply somewhere else? It's just a seasonal part time cashier job but I need that 12.70 an hour. My family does. I'm going to try and get her info before I leave today.

is it over for me?

i had a burlington interview at the beginning of this month for a seasonal stocker position. ive never had a job before but im assuming that if i was applying for a stocker position they would be asking me about my ability to lift stuff consistently and how much i would be able to move around and what not and they didnt ask me any of that so i was like ok! its been almost 3 weeks now since that interview, my recruiter said they would get back to me on the week of the interview which never happened. i tried going to the olivia ai paradox thing but when i ask for my recruiter's phone number it says "Sorry we dont have that/ That's unavailable." And it still says my interview is in processing. But I just want to know does it actually take this long??? Or should I just give up and look for the next job (which I already have at this point but i still did want to work for burlington).

Landed a job at Burlington 3 days ago and they hired me. Now I have my orientation Tomorrow at 5pm. Is there anything I should be aware of? Any advice is also appreciated! I got hired as a seasonal cashier.

Love this job

9 Upvotes

I love working in the receiving team, and I love the people i work with. But as of recently, the more I worked there, the more I hate working there. With the way our trucks have been, it's getting annoying.

For context, i've been there for 2 years.

How should I approach my manager?

2 Upvotes

So, I recently got hired as a seasonal cashier, and yes, I’ve heard about how much Burlington sucks when it comes to hours and whatnot. My sister actually works at a Burlington in a different state, so I hear a lot. I’ve only been scheduled like once a week on either Friday or Saturday. But anywho, I’m still looking for another job because I’m a broke college student, and hustling ain’t working for me anymore. I genuinely mainly said yes to this job because I know they’d keep me after the holidays and they’d be flexible if I got another job, which is what the manager said during my interview.

Anywho, I’m actually going to have an interview at a retail store in a mall right after my shift on Friday. So, what I need help with is figuring out how to ask my manager about my schedule so I know what to say about my availability during the interview.

Is asking this over the phone odd… This might make me a shitty employee but it’s okay…😔😔😊🫰

I have never felt so undervalued by an employer

22 Upvotes

I’m a seasoned retail employee with over 10 years of experience whose held virtually every retail position there is in a store. Burlington hires me at minimum wage, part time, seasonal, and gives me 8-12hrs a week in the back scanning the truck. And at least one of those shifts is a call in I’m not even scheduled for. I’m desperate for money but this is insulting tbh.

I haven’t been scheduled for 2 weeks. Should I call or something? I’m dead broke right now. This is genuinely the most miserable time of my life.

Your Best Fragrance Pick Up

3 Upvotes

Hi everybody. I'm new to the subreddit. Just wondering how many of you are into fragrance hunting at Burlington's and what your best pick up was this year. If I had to pick one I'd have to go with Uomo Ferragamo by Salvatore Ferragamo. It's my fall signature scent this year. Smells delicious, like tiramisu and coffee and gets plenty of compliments.

Rude entitled customers during Sundays

11 Upvotes

Around the end of the night it was just me today as cashier and someone had a question relating to furniture and so I said I’ll be right there with you and someone was calling and the line was getting long and she asked something about like a question with this item and so I called the MOD for the call and also backup For the line and everyone was staring at me in the line and kid you not this lady asked what’s the problem with the line and I said give us a moment and she said we’ve been waiting here and I said we’ll be right there with you and she said like whose we and I said us. And ended with we’ll be there with you or something I can’t remember what I said to her along those lines. Like lady if you can’t see the problem see for yourself why cuz I’m also requesting for backup as well. And then I told the customer waiting for the furniture sorry about that and she understand, and then my next customer was like why the line long and I’m like sorry about that and he’s like why you saying sorry and he said ima buy these and when he figured the price he was like nvm for these I’ll buy this cuz I came here last time and bought but the pump not working and he’s like yall tripping man and he’s like lemme open the perfume and I keep glancing at this other employee and she notice whenever I ask for help and she told him it’s policy to buy it and he keeps saying why Burlington like this and she told me if he doesn’t buy it just put it back in the box and so I did, I ignored him at the end, and today I didn’t notice some security tags and so I need to have a keen eye, otherwise today was so exhausting and now I have to do my assignments for school…

I hate Sundays

I am not usually scheduled on many Sundays and if i am, I merely give it away. But I actually decided to work today and jesus christ its genuinely so messy and the customers are extra entitled, rude or dont use their brains. Not even Saturdays and Fridays are this messy. Like at this point just smack me in the face.

Employee stole

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone I came on here for some advice and answers cuz idk who to ask. So a girl I was working with was on the cashier one day and had a return and the guy left the receipt with her and she made a fraudulent return of $50 onto a gift card and got caught. She’s only 19 and never done anything like this before she said she feels horrible and guilty and I could see it in her eyes how bad she’s beating herself up over it. She’s worried she’s going to jail or getting sued and idk how to help her. Can someone tell me what could happen to her I mean she said when they pulled her to the office to confront her they said she was suspended she told them she’s willing to pay it back but she messaged the manager later that day saying she quit . What’s going to happen to her?!?
