Complaint Review: Family Dollar Stores

I am yet another Family Dollar Manager who has been turned from a cheery, loving person to an angry, nightmare-ridden, constantly sick person who has had to divorce in order to continue working 80-95 hour work weeks on a diminishing budget. My husband never sees me any more, and when he does, he has to listen to my crying, my health issues, my headaches, etc. I come home long enough to have a meal, when I can eat at all, and then go to bed, and get ready for another 14 hour day. I just had one of my two days off taken away because my store was not up to the regional director's standards.

I often get 1000 - 1200 piece trucks with only one other person to help, because Family Dollar sees fit to pay for only one other employee other than me at one time. I enjoy working, but this is too much even for me. We have a payroll that is just slightly bigger than my salary, the one that was promised to me for my 52 hour work week, as was explained when I was hired. I have often spent 13 hours there alone, because the other person for that day was sick. This cannot go on. I am in touch with several other managers who have lost their marriages and health, trying to work an impossible job
