Original Comment I was briefly an employee this month and was not even given a full 30 day grace period as I was told from the first day I started.-Which my first day of very few was on 8/7/1016 at store #1856, address 1224 W. Pawnee Wichita, Ks 67217. I called Sat night to see when I would be scheduled for this week and told I wasn't scheduled for this week and to call the next Sun morning to talk to Salisha, the store manager. So I did that, and she told me no, I wasn't scheduled and by the way, she is letting me go, and when I asked why, she told me for no reason. That it was what she decided and it's not even the end of my so-called grace period. In fact, I have only worked there 6 times in only 2 weeks. I have given absolutely NO reason for her to terminate me. I haven't been late. I worked all my shifts with no complaints and even past my scheduled shifts as necessary. She has been very rude to me from the very start. Telling me, if she doesn't feel like I fit her team or schedule that she will can me after a so-called 30 day grace period. Her tone of voice and attitude made me feel very unwelcome, and very uncomfortable. She was unprofessional as far as training me to count my cash drawer, what projects to work on when no customers needed to be checked out. She has been very rude to customers. Spoke gossip of other employees on the sales floor with another assistant manager within earshot of customers. She would speak rude, and brash with me behind closed doors, but nice in front of customers. In no way have I knowingly offended her, nor have I disrespected her. Quite the opposite, in fact. She is communicates very poorly as to what she expects or wants done. I have always wanted to work for Dollar Tree, was happy to have that chance. But I'm disappointed, I feel that I was cheated out of that whole 'grace' period and not given the full opportunity to prove myself, nor get to know exactly how things are done. I've never missed a day. I bet she would've never even called to tell me she was letting me go if I hadn't called to check my schedule. I have no way to prove that she let me go because she didn't like me, but because she wouldn't even give me a reason for her to terminate my position as a sales associate, I'd have to assume it was discrimination. It's unfair. I am also disappointed that there really isn't anyone I can directly contact like the district manager to discuss this situation with or just to even leave a report, in case there are repeated problems with this particular store manager. What about the rights of your entry level employees? Are not any of them or their concerns important to you like a customer's would be? Your employees and their friends and families are your present and future potential customers as well. I will continue my search to see how I might reach the district manager or whomever this may concern. I would appreciate at least a response that it's been acknowledged, or it's going to be looked into.I hope you screen and do personality tests or such on your future managers for the sake of your own company. If anyone DOES take any interest to respond to my situation my email is [email protected] Thanks, have a good day.
