Dollar General review: Treated unfairly, worked as keyholder but paid as associate, asked for help from dm/hr for fear of my employeement and was terminated a week later

From store #15665, I would like to begin saying thank you for the opportunity, was unexpectedly brief but I learned alot so I do thank you. I was first hired as lead sales associate in hopes to get close to the $12 I had just left from. I lived right next door with a 3 to 5 minute walk. Started out great as most jobs do, and I was quickly to what I understood as a promotion as a keyholder. Was told multiple time to not take negative tones from other co-workers for I held the same position as they did. I was given a key to front, back, side doors and the office key was to still be given but the store manager had to make copies. I worked hard and heck I was teaching the assistant store manager things. Who had never even ran a register before and wasnt qualified, she was the store managers best friend from waitressing bob evans. As time went on I started noticing some very serious yet damaging behaivior go on. Mt time and manager mels I know for sure, time clocks were being edited even though we would work straight through. I remember and evening mel crying to me about how awful she was talk to even tho she works without breaks but st. Manager amber I guess was only one that really mattered. An always make sure you walk away feeling lessened, and worst thing ou can do to your crew/employees is to make them not want to come to work.

As each new rule that was made, I questioned management cause the rules that were made, they were the ones breaking them and doing wrong. So I request to speak with hr and someone hire up that I had serious concerns after several months after I began to be a bit uncomfortable due to the store manager showing affection to a black male that wasnt her husband. She called them special friends in order to keep her marriage working. One day I she told me that she wish that her special friend hadnt showed due to her being on her menstrile cycle and she couldn't have sex. There were a few and I felt so offended, my husband is a black male and the fact she puts prey on a black male is beyond wrong and to bring that to work is worse. This was beyond unprofessional! more illeagle things began to obmerge. At one point I had learned that narcotics were even entering the store for the managers and traded for goods, im sure creating a hyke in theift. I remember even going to my store manager about 2 ladies walked out with full buggies as they acted as if the were a self check out customer. Also I was working as keyholder with 30 to 40 hours until I began to speak up. When I started speaking up my hours started droping so I was then needing paystubs for my hours were so low I had to get stubs for state assistance for bills and food was getting scarce. Hours as low as 4 hours a week. I never was talked to or warned about any drop in hours or anything. So I helped myself and pulled up our employee dg me, found my stubs, and printed them. My mouth dropped in disappointment. This entire time I had been working the keyholder position with not even the first raise. I was lied to and manipulated from the start. I was wrote up twice one for being short on a register that had been used from 8am to 10pm. And the other was cause someone else left at 1015 while another key holder had safe opening. I stated we was told not to and the girl replied oh the store manager said yea I could, somehoe they wrote me up. When I was given the write up I was warned in a belittling way that I better watch out that I had 2 write ups one more and I was outta there. So I ask and ask to speak with someone that all the unprofessionalism and the amount of things going on needed to be addressed. And when they made a very young girl whom had just took a hundred dollar bill manage really made me question their opinion on work ethic as well. I was made feel like [censored] by every manager that was there all cause I wanted it known how hard I worked and how much they were taking from me, my dignity, my pride and motivation. I got told I was a thief and manager melany screamed so loudly from outside that I do nothing but steal that they caught me on film, when I finally got my meeting the dm brought it up as if thats why she was there. I felt so bullied and so foolish. Questioned on why I send the products home that they was unpaid, I replied to keep watching the tape that toya rang me up. And situation was understood and moved on to me saying how I felt and had been wrongfully treated. Slander yelled to the customer about, talked about from managers to employees, how I was manipulated and lied to about my position, bullied, used, and much more. I tried to remember everything as I am now and week goes by and my only work day on wednesday a 630 to 1030 I clocked in and was met by angela dis. Manager that I talked to get help from previous week. She was there to get back with me and told that yes I paid for my belongings, the reason for calling me a theif previous week but because I gave my belongings to my daughter to take home to my daughter and had a tobaco product in it that I contributed to a minor. I was absolutely disappointed how just like they say when you ask for help or speak up they will fire you or worse and I see why! I was told I coukdnt be manager along the way cause I wasnt priveledged to have a vehicle. And only can promote to manager unless I had a vehicle, feels like discrimination. I wasnt gonna write in fears I will get more of a punishment for speaking up. I will post and post and write news after news to show how wrong the dollar general #15665 has done me. I was attacked and backed into a corner. They used ther position to benifit themselves.
