Dollar General review: Wrongful termination 60

I am also disputing a termination with them. I strongly feel I was terminated because I wanted to be demoted. I wrote a letter of resignation and less than a week later I was terminated smh I hope everything works out in your favor.

my name is stephanie mosley. i worked at store 02620 as store manager. i was terminated this afternoon. i just feel it was not right, first let me begin in saying i have talked to the recruiter for dollar general and expressed my concerns in the lack of training i have failed to receive i did not get taught policies nor proper procedures not one time so truthfully i do not know procedures except for what i have been taught by my employees or i have went to other DG stores and have asked for help as well.i have not been taught bank or deposit procedures either so with that being said i have made huge progress with the atmosphere in the store. i have cleaned the store as best i could, when i first arrived it had just been shut down for a few days due to rolltainers being everywhere the fire marshal came out after i been there and found no problems. i have never been written up, i did leave a small white back of trash i wasnt thinking next to the trash can but i wasn't realizing i di leave it in the yellow walkway. i have been working sick since sept 5th of this year, i have had pneumonia. I have never called off, i have been working well over my 50 hrs each week to help the store. i am not perfect yes i made some mistakes along the way.but no write up, nothing. so it comes to now the district know the alarms werent working for the store so im not to blame for that but i had been having my assistant mgr opening, she was supposed to be letting one certain key go to bank with the deposits. she was responsible four of them. her excuse for not letting this employee was so she says she takes forty minutes i don't want to run the register the day i worked i was so focused on getting the store ready for regina that i didn't think about asking them to go to bank .if i would of been told how the bank procedure went i would of asked my car wasn't running that week i knew i didnt want to have someone take me to bank with the deposits. again having pneumonia being tired and still trying to run the store as best as i knew how. i need this job why didnt i get a write up ive never been in trouble i have always tried to do what roger and regina have asked of me. please reconcider i support my family this was my only income. i moved down here to care for my ill mother whom i didnt want to let get put into a nursing home if someone would of inly taught me these procedure and how come lexi gets to stay also i stated hire date is april 20th it has been six months dont i get a week vacation pay as well. i just want my job back ask the customers there how it has turned around in such a short time plese look into this please let me know if i can have my job back but with training on all procedures all i got was a week of a few videos then sent home then one week of stocking shelves then that was it stephanie vans mosley [protected]

Hello my name is Jennifer Hutchison former employee at store number 12951 in Enterprize Al .

I loved my job and my customers. I had just got to work on a Friday night to close the store and ten minutes after I got on the clock the district manager Mrs Polly walls in and asks me to come to the office with her, now remember I had never been wrote up for anything, and the first thing is she told me is that I was suspended without pay for one day for 2 customer complaints to her in the past week and I said to myself ok I can do this I'll take this one for the team then next thing I'm being told I'm suspended without pay for seven days well I live pay check to paycheck cause we'll Dg don't pay us $124.000 a year they don't even give us our yearly raises anymore is what I was told about mine but that's another story, so she said I'll call u on the seven day and let me no if u can come back to work or what is going to be done about ean employee complaint so I was waiting for the call on the seventh day and I got no call from Mrs Polly eight day in no call from Polly nine days in no call from Polly ten days in still no call from Polly 11 days in no call from Polly and finally at 6 pm Polly calls on the 12 day and days he decides to term me and I had already asked for the proof that was against me and still was not ever wrote up still even on suspension now yal so Polly said well I'm gonna give your pay for the vacation hours that's 20 hrs and that was on week of 2/4/23 threw 2/10/23 and now it's march the 7 , 2023 and I still have not got my money nor have I got a call or email from Mrs heather regional director and I know that I was blackballed cause I am still till this very day on dollar generals payroll and I was just removed from all the schedule and my manage day after this started has a part time key to call me and ask me for my store keys if she could use them while I was suspended and I got a Fulltime key position in Hartford where I live and Polly not my manager would not just transfer me up to that store and totally out of Polly's jurisdiction that was a really harsh treatment of someone's first time being in any trouble at all I emailed Heather on Linkedlin and she still has not responded and my lights are about to be cut off my family has nothin to eat and I have been trying 200% to get another job but no luck yet and I was told I couldn't even draw unemployment due to what I feel she made up cause the assistant manager and I didn't see eye to eye on two things And the bad thing is I told her that I found out my dad has lung cancer Polly said sorry hear that but that has nothing to do with dollar general now let's just see how much we can get done after this thank yal for your time god bless Jennifer Hutchison

Hello my name is Lory Deer former employee of store 15368 in Mooresville, Indiana. I have been a key for 8 months worked for company for 9 1/2 months. We had a cashier ring up a gift card and cashed it out as cash. I wasn't there that day, I was informed the next day then the cards come up missing. I was blamed loss prevention came in as "loss prevention training" then cornered me in office accused me of stealing gift card, I denied it because I did not take them. She told me she didn't believe me and had had subpoena the video where the card was traced to and used. I then informed her that was great because I was 100% positive it wasn't me or my husband whom she kept accusing. She lead me to believe if it wasn't I wouldn't lose my job. But did suspend on Friday Jan 21, 2023 and took my keys then said I hear something by Monday from my DM. Not to talk to anyone who works there or not to come in store. Then my DM called and said it wasn't me on video however I was still fired for waiting on my husband. And for changing the 90% off Christmas sale items to correct price. I was told by my store manager to honor sale price. And we are the only store or anything around, so when my grandson needed milk and we (DG) was the only option I did wait on my husband considering I was there daily from 2pm to 6pm alone, no other cashier's or managers just me as cashier & manager. My store manager was changing my clock out times every night to 10:15 even when I was there til 1045. She claimed she was there when she wasn't. Her and the assistant Manager would put stuff up in back room until they pennied out then would buy it just or take them. I have been threw 2 store managers and 2 assistant Managers since I started in May. I asked for the assistant Manager position when it came available and she had already promoted her friend she had just hired a week before that. I never missed worked, I didn't call in, worked on my days off when they needed. Opened and closed the store on Sundays, 15 hours shift. I was reliable and a good strong proficient employee and I got fired. Everyone was changing prices on clearance to correct prices, prices usually don't ring up on regular items. Everyone waits on their family at that store but I'm the only one who's got fired. Everyone else is still employed and working. I even tried to get them to do a probationary thing or put me at another store. She refused said 10.00 isn't 1.00 after 90% discount. Huh uhhhh where did you graduate? Cuz yes it is. I just want my job back. I was wrongfully terminated and I am working with a lawyer on filing a suit with eoea.

Hi my Name Is Aaliyah Toney . I am a former employee at dollar general. @store #22506 located Memphis, TN. I strongly believe I was wrongly terminated because I had to be at work 10am. I called and told my general manager(Chastity Banks) I would be running late because my child had a doctor's appointment. But Ms Chastity still wrote me up and I felt bad because I bust my tail for my job. I started off as a lead sales got promoted to an assistant manager. It was Times Ms Chastity did not have nobody to fill in for. But i put in my 2 week notice. I worked my full 2 weeks but Ms Chastity put in the system that I quit.

Did you get your job back?

I was wrongly terminated 3 weeks ago. Over he said she said. No write ups , always at work even came in on my off days to help her out. She talked about everyone of the employees. But got mad at me and call herself checking me in a txt message. Didn't come and talk to me nor ask just went what another employee said. She thought I apologized and got mad at me when I said that was autocorrect and then told me I don't have to worry about finish my week. I try to talk to our dm two weeks prior about her behavior and talk to him right after she told me that. He told me to give him to the end of the week and he was gonna call me. Which he never did. I went above and beyond for this company. And mind you she fired me on my off day. I don't know if I can dispute this. And she lied to the cops and everything. I wasn't even at the store nor threatened her. She lied about everything and she didn't have a leg to stand on for firing me. So she made up these lies to make it stick. I need someone to message me to see what I can do. Bc since Jason gave her the store manager position she in went to her head and thanks she better and treat us lower then a dog.

I was also wrongfully terminated due to my boss retaliating against me

I Work at the Dollar General in Sheperdsville Kentucky area code 40165 I was terminated because while I was in the office somebody went behind the counter and stole two packs of Marbro’s and my other coworker was on break I was only in the office for a few seconds but he still ran away but I was fired because of it

I believe I was wrongly terminated for a leave of absence. I had double knee replacements. One month before my surgeon released me to return to work my store manager called me to say there had been a policy change about leaves of absence while I was on leave. No documentation was ever given to me on that. My termination was done completely on the phone. HR did not respond to any tickets submitted to discuss. I was lead key and had been at my store for 3 years. I also get Social Security Disability but am allowed to work part-time. I disclosed this when hired in even though I wasn’t required too. My online research indicates that DG violated the Federal Disability Act. Without that my termination is still legally questionable I believe. I don’t have the money to file a lawsuit against DG so they get by with another wrongful action against their employees…..

My son was working only 2.5 months and he was fired. They did this on October 26th, claiming he void a pack of smokes and let the guy walk out the store with them. He rec'd 1 day training from the manager, the assistance manager did some and it was more of other employee who actually trained him and that guy told my son, he did not rec'd proper training but he work in stores before and being a lot older knew more. My son don't recall this transaction, it was done on Sept 7th they claim, they saw him on video, which was over 7 weeks ago. They let him work that long and didn't show him the video and made him sign a paper of how much he thinks the store lost. My son is native and I think it because of his skin color, I have been told by many customers that he was the most friendliest and helpful. After the new guy came aboard and keep bugging for more hours, they find a reason to let my son go. I asked for the video, this affect my son work record and I think it was such a big deal why wait 7 weeks...don't sound right to me. like I said, my son was only on job 3wks without proper training when this happen they claim. This happen in Fort Cobb, Oklahoma.

I some what did the same thing yet I was sick and couldn't drive and my boss had asked me to bring my keys and me not knowing it was wrong I sent my husband to take them to her ..well I went to work next day feeling better with a doc note and worked my night shift with my keys closed the store and went home but I go in Thursday 4 days late to see when I work that Saturday cause I work weekends and I'm not on schedule I text my boss she said come in tomorrow we need to talk so I go in Friday to talk she says I'm terminated for sending my husband with my keys that it is a automatic termination ok well my question is y was I not fired that day y was I able to work the next day then b told I was fired? Shouldn't I have been told that day and ain't it wrong for her to work me the next day then tell me I'm fired? What can I do about this?

Your not alone. The old registers glitched as anyone knows they do running what windows 95. I was harrassed for hours and wrong fully terminated.

I was hired as a cashier back in 2012, and within 6 months I had been promoted three times. I became the store manager, and took on the role guns a blazin! I devoted more than 90 hours a week and got paid for 40. I suppose this is the risk you accept when you become salary. I had to endure the first few weeks as store manager with a very unruly employee. He walked away from his open drawer several times, sold merchandise out the door after close, and when the sexual comments did not stop I had to terminate his employment. A week went by and I got an unexpected visit from our DM. He took me into my office, handed me a piece of paper, and proceeded to ask me to write a statement of why I broke company policy a month earlier. When I looked at him with a puzzling look, he proceeded to tell me that I had performed an act to violate company policy. The incident that he was speaking of was this. A month earlier I got an emergency phone call from my oldest son. He is epileptic, and was on the side of the road and needed help. So I immediately called every keyholder we had to come to relieve me, because-even though I should have a keyholder scheduled-Dollar General would limit me hours to distribute. As usual, no one would answer my call. An employee that was there had been a former keyholder, and my situation was urgent. I left the store, got to my son, put him in an ambulance, and called my sister to meet him at the hospital for me. Because I had no choice but to get back to the store, and was gone a total of 20 minutes. Long story short, the disgrundled employee that I had let go-was there. Since I let him go he retaliated, and had me fired. We went to court after that, and I won on the wrongful termination. Now, I have an amazing group at the DG close to my new home-and I would really like to work there, but I have no idea how to contact corporate to see if I am even rehirable.

To Whom it May Concern

My name is Jamie Carrier i was the Asst. Manager at the local Dollar General. Another Co-worker and i were moving the merchandise off the floor so the floors could be striped and waxed when Sonya Gillispe came into the store and ask one of the other employes where i was he told her, she proceeded to the back of the store where i was and began screaming and cussing at me, at this point i ask her to leave the store she refused so i followed her to the door she walked out and i held the door where she could not come back into the store. Then she called one of the officers here in town on his cell phone not dispatch. The officer came to the store took my statement, during this time i called my manager she was of course no where to be found when i finally reached her she said and i quote "There was nothing else that i could do that i had followed proceedure." Then later that night before the other employee and i closed the store Sonya called a number of times threating me and the other employee. I then called Mandy and told her that i thought she need to get to the store in case of another insident. Then later the same night Mandy called the officer that took my statement and talked with him he told her it was a he said she said type of thing. The following days Sonya drove by the store called the store called me ugly names and a few other chose words and would hang up. Then Mandy called the DM which is Ruth Kepkha originally she was supposed to come to the store and investigate Mandy but insteed she was there to investigate me during all of this Mandy had been told by Ruth not to speak to Sonya in any matter but she did and told Sonya to get written statements from the people that were with her and they were not even in the store. My co-workers also wrote statements about what had happened it seems to me that Ruth and Mandy did not even take any of that into concederation. I was at work and closing about a week later Ruth called me and informed me that i was suspended until the investigation was completed so i gave Mandy the keys. On my way out the door Mandy had called the Police on me for no reason. I did nothing other than remove a problem from the store and i feel that i was treated unfairly..And further more it wasnt a week before this occurence that Ruth ask me if i wanted a managment position. I am going to however give dollar general the chance to redeem themselves. Because Mandy and Ruth are the ones that need to be investigated Mandy treats the other employees very unfair she degrades them in front of customers and the customers on several occations have ask me what happend they thought that i was the manager because i was there more than Mandy was she left me there for an entire week by myself and got paid for the week and she maybe worked 15 hours and got paid for a full week. I would greatfully appreciate your responce on this matter if not i will go higher.

Thank you

I was employed by Dollar General for 16 months. The DM and her sidekick came in one day and accused me of modifying time to cheat employees out of time and also using the assistant's password in an effort to blame her. The irony of this whole thing is that no one knows any other person's password. I admitted that I did adjust payroll on a weekly basis as I never was sure who was going to come to work; that employees were shown thee hours before submitting; that I would have no reason to use any other person password. They also accused my of not working the hours I had discussed as the schedule did not show this. Sales were up, thefts were down; the store never looked better; all moves were done. Who did they think did this. I worked on numerous occassions up to 72 hours a week, not to mention missing family events. Nothing was investigated; I was denied unemployment; I was cheated out of my vacation. When I did ask for vacation time the DM told me there was no one to cover. Dollar General uses you until you have nothing else to give and then you discarded with the trash!

I was told by my dm that I was fired due to payroll edits, this investigation had been going on for 3 months, all employees gave a written statement that they had not been cheated out of any pay or time.This did not matter they said because there time was changed. No one lost and no one gain any thing by this time change. I have been with the company for 9 yrs. and have always did payroll the same and never has corporate or the dm talked to me about it and said I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG. In being fired I lost my 3 weeks vac. and a bonus of 2500.00 I do not feel what they did was right. I have never even been wrote up in all the yrs.If I had made a person lose pay because of these time edits or cheated the company out of money then I could understand why the fired me but I feel I should have been written up not terminated

Dollar General is a horrible store to work for. I have only been working there for a month and have already put in my 2 week notice.

I was wrongfully terminated also. I made more money than the current DM wanted to pay. He is now trying to hire someone in at $7000 less a year than I was making. I would love to get in on this class action suit.

Yea she should have been fired not you. I'man asst. Manager and I know you have to run the ck through. I've had it happen but the ck cleared thank goodness for the employees sake. She didn't call me or tell anyone.

I also use to be a store manager for dollar general and was terminated for wage and hour violations after putting in for a transfer out of my DM's district and calling his boss due to the fact that he was very rude to me and hung up on me then when he returned from vacation and I was already working in another store he found three different things to investigate before he came up with the wage an hour violation. As the store manager I worked an average of 55 hours a week and 6 days a week, I was never questioned about anything until he got mad and forced people to write statements against me so they could keep their jobs. I feel that dollar general should be sued not only for these reasons but also a manager is suppose to do managerial work not all the physical labor and everything else we do that is why we are managers.

Jason, please learn to punctuate, use proper English, and capitalize. I'm beginning to understand why no one takes you seriously, because you are obviously uneducated and no not about that which you speak.

She was not the boss, Jason. She was a cashier. I stayed on after the other two were fired. One of them was a keyholder below me. Please read and comprehend the entire paragraph before commenting.

Dollar General is a horrible place to work. My boss had surgery, and with no management training I was expected to run the store during the busy Christmas season with only five part-time employees. Before my boss got back, some money went missing. Two employees were terminated, basically because one person lied to get herself promoted. Her story was never checked out. I was kept on, being told I did a good job, however, I gave my notice. My last week, I decided to use some of my vacationt time, and my district manager called. He said technically I was still under investigation! Needless to say, I didn't get my vacation pay, and was told that I was terminated AFTER I quit. I was refused unemployment as well. I wish people would boycott that store based on unethical practices with employees.

oh yeah seems to happen to at least one to two stores in ever district. i transferred to a store in iowa after working for the company for three years well in this certain store they had been through four managers before me i was starting to be blamed for things that i shouldn't have been blamed for i was there nine months and in those nine months i was suspended twice and then terminated sales were up inventory was looking wonderful and i got them store model then i was out the door

i also was used by dollar general. i gave all i could to them and they gave me nothing.i was set up even had proof i went over the district manager's head.
they accused me of things i didn't do which i proved i didn't . whats important
is this is a small town where i live people around know me.this is only a small amount of what i could tell you. about tis company.you know i loved my
job there i would of stayed.i have been in retail for 30+years i put in for manage
position twice you know what they said(quote, you havn't enough training
i laughed and went on still working hoping some day could be manager but it
never happens.well like i saidthis only a small amount of things that happen to me.it's not the company its some of the people who work for them.

Family Dollar, Dollar General, different names, same story. Believe me, in the long run, you will be much better off not working for these unethical people. Take a little time for yourself, rest, then pick yourself up and go work in another line. These stores aren't worth it.
(and WM is no better.)

I would like to be involved in a lawsuit as I too was wrongly terminated

That is crazy that, that happened if there was not a problem before and you had been going by the same process for over nine years and then all of a sudden this happened something must of been changed. Either one of the other managers talked to the dm or somebody told about a problem, but regardless this is unfair and gives you grounds to sue for wrongful termination and solve it there. It had happened to someone I knew and the took it to court and they won the case.

Is there anyother managers, asst. manager who would like to file a class action suit against Dollar General? Does anyone have an attorney we could all contact?

I am a manager, this is common, it has happened alot, i dont think you should have got terminated for this.
