I was working part time for Petco, store #888. I would come in every Saturday night until close and every Monday. I work another job at an animal shelter. I wanted additional experience, so I chose Petco, and I did like working there until May 31.
I was sick that day but I decided to come in anyway and try to stick it out. I never call out, nor have I ever been late. About an hour and a half into work, I started to get extremely sick. I got really hot and I was about to pass out. I went to the manager on duty (Gregg). I told him that I had to go home. He said, "What?" I said I have to go home, I am really sick. He then said, "If you go home you'll get three points." When I asked why, he said, "Because I'm tired of all the nonsense around here." When I asked what nonsense and explained that I never leave or call out or anything, he said, "If you leave you are getting three points and I will probably not schedule you again." He said, "It's your choice, leave and you don't have a job or stay." So I said that I was leaving. He then said, "Give me your shirt." I was wearing my own shirt. What was he going to have me do, take it off then??? I told him that this was my shirt. I had bought my own. So then he said, "Well, give me your badge." So he got that.
No one deserves to be treated like this, especially an employee who comes to work on time and never calls out. Just check my record, you'll see.
I am not the only person that Gregg has mistreated. He made one girl cry when he first started a month ago, so she quit. He made another girl with a disability stay an hour and a half past her shift. Over the weekend he kept us all past 11:00 P.M. Then he wouldn't give me my check. On Monday, the phone was ringing and he was in fish. He had to answer it because the cashier was backed up. He said, in a rude tone, "Doesn't the cashier know how to answer the phone?" There were customers around when this was said, too.
All this guy does is sit in his office and go outside and smoke. What gives him the right to mistreat the employees, especially when they are doing their jobs?
Please help get rid of this bad manager!!!
