Family Dollar don't know what to think? Springfield Tennessee
i have been with this company for 4 years.i have been through 3 managers.i believe in staying assistant manager because of all the long hours managers put in and do not get paid for.its like watching a cartoon show here.a manager becomes so stress out that i notice their eyeballs start popping out and their hair gets mussel up and you can see the tension all other them!!
everything everyone is saying is true.well i guess it has finally become my turn for them to get rid of me.i haven't had a raise because every year inventory is short,but sales are always up.i have had days and nights where nobody work but me.i hung in there.with every new manager i tried to do what each one wants done.
as an assistant manager there is lots for me to do.the problem is,they only put me on the register.i am not allow in the office,not allow to put up stock,not allow to go only to the middle of the store and oh...if there is anyway that i can keep from going to the bathroom they would be happy with that too.
then they sat me down and explain that i was not doing my job?after 4 years of never being short i was $20.00 then $9.00 and now i even left the safe open?we have cameras but of course they can't show me the tape to show me personally that i did these things.i got the feeling that she thought i would jump up and quit.
well,i am not like that.i inform them i wasn't going anywhere without a pink slip.i offer to be drop to a 3rd key since we don't have one and they could get another assistant.we only have 2 people that can close being nobody can pass a stanton test.i was inform that my pay would drop?i couldn't help but laugh and inform them that state law says your pay can be raise but not lower.oh my they seen i really had a brain!!
over the years there i have busted my back,took insults,been accused of doing things i didn't do and go on and on.the reason i am still there?i am pass 50 so i wanted to retired here.the insurance is great and i want to keep it.the customers,well i always feel there is a story to every person from all walks of life.people are interesting.especially the poor.as long as they tell me i am good to them i will do my best to hang in there.....me

I happen to think that the managers who were a part of the lawsuit for hours worked are a bunch of babies. NO one makes them take this job and no one makes them stay. I have never seen my manager or any manager in my district work more than the hours required to get the work done that needs to be done.

Michelle, in a way you are right that the managers take that job, BUT in 2006 they lost the case about how they work the Managers, (you need to look at the major lawsuit)I been there, some people need to get their heads out of the clouds that family dollar loves you or your DM or Regional is so good, i hope you dont see the ugly side.

I am sorry that you all work in these districts where the DM's treat you all this way. I am lucky enough to have a dm and a regional that don't treat you like a piece of dirt. I do want to comment about the managers hours. They choose to work for this company. NO one makes them stay. So if they have a problem with the hours, why do they do it? I often hear my manager say things like, You should work my schedule. 60 hours and only 1 day off. You know what I tell her? I am not the manager, you are. That is why I stay an assistant. I don't want to put in those hours.
