  I worked for a dollar branded store they would monitor the companies Reddit for employees that were being saying something bad.

  They’d look thru the account for pictures of the store layout or anything identifiable. Like the weather on certain days were specifically helpful yes.

      Sorry I thought it was obvious if you think about it.

      It was dollar tree. I worked the transition from family dollar-dollar tree- dollar tree plus.

      What I can say good about dollar tree is I went from part time cashier on Christmas for extra money to running stores in 6 months. I opened 7 stores, lead the stocking teams, helped out at dozens of stores and was “person you call” when you don’t know who to call. DMs called me. On the other hand i had a mental breakdown (litterly I was hospitalized for close to a month then I moved home with my mother that’s how damaging the work was under that one specific district manager) so dollar tree is a great place to move up but it’s like… Harvey Weinstein…. Yeah he can make you a star but at a cost.

      Lol sorry I have ptsd lol

      Honestly? Dollar stores are all pretty bad.

        In more ways than people realize. I’ve got so many heartbreaking stories.

        My record for most drugs found in the bathroom was six baggies of crystal. One of my jobs as GM+ was “he’s been in the bathroom for a really long time… and there’s no noise in there”

        “Alright I get the narcan from my car (we weren’t allowed to keep it in the building but sometimes you need narcan)”

        Another horrible story is the time I spent all day stomping on baby Jesus. Products have to be destroyed so not peasants can take them out of the trash. Surprisingly a lot of people didn’t want to stomp on Jesus Christmas ornaments. So I went around to all the store to stomp on Jesus for them.

        Actually the worst part of all is people died at stores. Nothing that was our fault but yeah, I saw people die and didn’t even list that as one of the “sad things” it was just a tuesday

    Sure, but I was talking about general complaints. Things like, “the drivers here are so bad”, “the winters are too cold and the summers are too hot”, “the government sure is poorly run”, “the yellow sports car parked out in front of the fast food place I work looks so stupid”, “I hate my boss and his stupid name, like seriously, who is named Methuselah Honeysuckle”, and “If they don’t give me a raise this time, I’m going to start a union, I’m serious, working a Chipotle sucks”.

    You know, the kind of stuff that could never be traced back to me.

      I totally get that and thought about it. People reading it might think differently and I wanted to warn them. Not specifically you.

      Funny story though: my ex wife lived in the same small town as me and she told me “you’re employees were talking shit about you”

      “Well yeah… I’m the boss. We all talk shit about our bosses “

      “Do you want to know what they said “

      “Nope.‘if it’s important they’ll talk me directly “
