Stress
I just need to vent. I am really stressed out. I'm 19w4d, my husband and I just bought a house. We will be closing on the 14th of June and moving in that weekend.
And I just found out this morning that I am likely going to lose my job in the next few weeks... if not sooner.
I am a supervisor at a major retail pharmacy, and there are major ethics violations going on that is leading to my store manager quitting, the assistant quitting, and all the supervisors in the store getting put on the chopping block.
The worst part is: the ethics violations are being done against us. The district manager hates our store, and has been on a warpath vendeta against the store manager for a while... which has lead to the guy having a heart attack and major surgery on his heart. He came back to work today, less than a week after his surgery, and was immediately written up and ripped a new one by the district manager.
The assistant was put in a position of being forced to another store in a dangerous environment to shut her up, about the dm's refusal to allow us equal coverage or pay (i am making 9$/hr when every other supervisor in the area gets hired at 10$/hr... and the pay discrepency is worse for the assistant)
I am being forced to do bell to bell shifts (7am-10pm) with heavy lifting, and have been written up 2x in the past week for ******** reasons. I had to refuse a return based on the fact that the product the customer brought into the store wasnt even sold by us, the person didnt have a reciept, anf there was no packaging, and he freaked out and started threatening me because he couldnt get cash for it.... but because he called corporate on me and mentioned my name i got written up because "the company makes enough to take care of its customers" THAT is exactly what my dm told me... oh and the second write up?
I called the cops on a woman who was threatening my cashier because the pharmacy wasnt open.
F*ck this company! Im so mad and upset, just been crying all day. I really wanted to wait to leave until my little boy was here, because I dont think I can get another job right now.
Called ethics on the ******* dm, but so did another pregnant girl a yr ago and absolutely nothing was done to protect her.
Didnt want it to be this way...

Yes, I live in the U.S. I am just really discouraged about the situation, and I know what they are doing is really wrong. I am very dissapointed in the company for a multitude of reasons, and even though I could collect unemployment if they fired me (always an option) I am just going to try to be proactive about it and find a new job.
Talk to a lawer!.!!!!!! If they fire you or not they are in the wrong!! It is agenst the law to make you do something you medicaly can't do. Heavy lifting when pregnant......have you doctor wright a note saying what your limits are. If they make you do something they,have paper work saying you can't do the lawer will take care of you. And the company will be paying you even\ expecaly if they fire you. You shouldn't have to deal with this don't let them walk al over you.
Are you in the us? If so let them fire you, keep document of everything that has been said and done. If they do you can draw unemployment.
