I worked for Ross in Florida for almost for 4 years. I was an assistant manager. In the time I was with the company I had never been written up and then HR was called on a Store Manager for breaking policy including taking out employee lunches without employee taking a lunch. I was interviewed by HR who then started an investigaton. A few weeks after I had to take a leave absence I was going through depression and also had a seizure. when i came back associates where giving me the cold shoulder, I was then told the Store Manager told them in a rally meeting that he didnt get promoted to DM because he got written up because of me. I was in shock because I was gone for five weeks and I was not the one complaining about issues in the store, the associates were. Anyways HR transfered me to another store because he was retaliating against me including writing me up for non-sense. After months at the new store I couldnt figure out why the my new SM disliked me. Well I found out my previous SM trashed me and said so many negative things about me. I got a new Dm Christina Wilt that disliked me even more. All the suddenly Im getting written up left and right, almost every two weeks. Finally DM and SM presented me with a PIP. Two weeks later they fired me. I forgot to arm the stockroom door, It only happened this one time and they fired me meanwhile SM and As where leaving money out overnight including the cash drawer . I found the stokroom door unarmed a few times and reported it and no one got fired. They didnt have the decency to let me know I forgot to arm the door. I found out the day they fired me a week later. it was an honest human error. I t just shows you how much they care ! I had opened three stores for them and did 9 overnights to remodel one store never got a corrective action in over 3years and this DM didnt even give me chance she believed a SM who breaks every policy and retaliates against his employees. I guess I should be thanking God I dont work there anymore. It seems they have different standards for different managers!
