I transferred from the Tampa, Fl area to South Florida area and I have had a very similar experience. The company treated me with little respect. It has been a nightmare for myself and my family. I was asked to opened a new store and given this responsibility 4 weeks behind the schedule for hiring. The district manager overseeing this process told me I would have support. He never gave me any. He did give me many threatening and unprofessional conversations. I worked alone throughout the process. I worked six weeks without a day off. Hired approximately 65 associates by myself. I was given an assistant manager that had worked with the company for three years and she was not able to complete a schedule in staffworks. She was extemely unprofessional and made many inappropriate comments to the new staff. She was unable to run the MPT team or train associates for the registers and customer service. I asked for her file to proceed with coachings. She gave her safe code to a part-time associate and was told by the District LP it might be ok and he would get back with me. That never happened. On 4-2-10 I reported that my review was not a representation of my performance for the year of 2009. I spoke to Beth Krumper, HR zone representative. I also at that time spoke of harrassment and abuse. I was terminated on 4-9-2010.
WOW what an experience! If you would like to discuss this I can be reached at [protected]
