To the employee with the abusive DM at Dollar Tree in the Tampa Bay area:
I am VERY familiar with this District Manager, my wife having also worked under the "man" (and I use that term loosely.) This man REFUSES to get his hands dirty, and his attitude is symptomatic of the Sweetbay/Kash N Karry culture he came from (and the reason this chain ended up circling the drain and being shuttered after Winn-Dixie bought it out). I have ZERO RESPECT for this person, and if I wasn't concerned for my wife losing her job, I would post his name here since I know WHO he is.
He has backstabbed MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES, had stores taken away and given back and, from what my sources within DT told me, was running for cover when his RD transferred out of state and a new RD came to town. This man is a cockroach - he will survive because he knows who to suck up to, and will continue to do that because he is a social darwinist. I can assure you of this - there will come a day when it all catches up to him, and he will have to face the mighty hand of karma.

As I am an X-ASM with Dollar Tree. I reported many times the SM in Laplace, La. for showing up late for his scheduled times. Sometimes even getting to drunk the night before he was scheduled to open. Like on more than one occasion he showed up late to open the store. Upto 1 1/2 hours late.
Then he reported that he showed up on time and blamed the cashier whom had sat in the parking lot for 1 1/2 hours waiting for him to show up. By stating that he was there and could not open the store without a cashier. But he gets paid for this kind of payrole manipulation, by just entering whatever hours he was supossed to be there into the computer like he was there.
He also states almost daily that this is his store and he runs it the way he see's fit. So whatever the DM or above tells him he just does whatever he wants. He never approved of my ASM possition as he felt threatened by me. Due to the fact that I was not scared to speak up and report him.
But, when you report anything to the DM and Human Resources they just blow you and your complaint off like it is ok for payrole manipulation to go on. Dollar Tree is the mot poorly ran companies I have ever had to work for. You know he refused to unlock the restroom one day because he was sitting in the office eating his second lunch, and had a customer have an accident on them selves by the register. But then had the nerve to accuse me off not unlocking the restroom when I was OFF THE CLOCK for my lunch break outside the store. But YES he was on the clock!!!

I went thru a similiar situation w/DT - first worked for them ten years ago and then six years ago. The second time, I was a full-time Assistant Manager under the 'leadership' of a Manager who was openly having an affair with a married cashier. This Manager was the single laziest human being I'd ever encountered - sales were terrible, the store a mess, but the DM could have cared less. I was seven months pregnant (I'm 5'1" and 100lbs), unloading trucks and putting out more freight in a day than he did in a week. Doctor took me out on medical for the last six weeks b/c of a kidney issue - hmmm, I only stood for five hours on register while my 'Manager' never allowed me a break. I was told I could either go back to 'being a cashier for $7 an hour' or I could 'essentially be out of a job'/Administrative Discharge. I said screw this, went to the Human Rights Commission and sued. It took two years but I won and had my settlement from DT. Interestingly, I learned that DT has a consistent history of doing just this to their female employees who are taken out on a pregnancy disability. I lost all of my earned vacation and sick time, which I fought for, but in the bigger picture, that had to admit their guilt and pay. This is the WORST COMPANY EVER and the things I saw take place in the course of four years would make your stomach turn. There's a LOT MORE than just that story.
SUE ** SUE ** SUE ** and don't give up!
