here is my story. I have been working a job and a few jobs for almost 2 years after I quit canadian tire.
this old supervisor , a girl younger than me, came in with her sister or cousin (also a canadian tire manager or supervisor) and cursed, swore, called me names a week before Christmas.
this was a very shocking event for me and the people around me. the incident happened at my work (not ct).
I did not know that they enjoyed stalking me so much or maybe have stalked past employees like this. very scary.
fortunately I have talked to my friends and at my new job, people are protective and believe in morals.
I've never been more thankful that I do NOT work at canadian tire anymore.
these two, also had their brother and cousin working and had nice 8 hour shifts, approximately 8-4 every day.
when I worked there, they only gave me 5 hour shifts and did not appreciate my work ethic.
when I asked to be trained more skills, I was denied. I had to ask 5 times for a mere 25 cent raise after working 6 months. meanwhile, it took just a month for another girl to get a raise.
numerous customers would say how good a job I did, the supervisors would just smile. They never gave a thank you card or an incentive for me to stay. simply put, when I wanted to learn about hardware or tools, one of the female supervisors even scoffed.
the store manager (auto manager then), also told me to take down a sign once. he is a thirty something old man. he could not put in 5 seconds to take down a sticker. meanwhile i had to dust, mop, clean up after others mess, put all boxes aligned, and tore down 100 sale signs already. he rudely called me to do that and other things.
he also commented on how dumb some of the female customers were to me once and the cashier supervisor would not help me if i had a line up.
it makes me sad that they believe they have any right to insult me during a festive season or any time of day. and I hope that people will wake up and realize how cruel these individuals are.
they may act like they care when they promote their jumpstart program, but i felt emotionally abused when i was working here. and just before christmas , december 2013, they also came in as i said, to call me names.
the training was not detailed enough. when i wrote my name down for first aid training first, they let everyone else get first aid training, except for me.
after working there for a year, i was on anxiety sleeping pills. the treatment i received there was horrendous. i felt really depressed working there and had facebook blocked all the managers (often they would add employees to snoop on their facebook and call people into their office about private notes)
they (two supervisors or girls) of course have not apologized to me.
I have not shopped at that store for almost 2 years and it is because of events like the one I described. I hope and pray everyone will support businesses that have ethics. obviously these particular incidences do not make me in favour of ever shopping or supporting their business.
I'm really sorry I ever worked here and I encourage other young people to not shop here or work here.
