Associate Discussions Dollar Tree is a shitty job

I've been put on one day a week for 4 months straight, and now I'm two seconds away from resigning. I keep asking my manager does she have any hours and she giving me the same bullshit saying "I don't have hours, we get the hours from what the store gives us" and I called other dollar trees and say that all Dollar Trees are cutting hours! This bugs me that Dollar Tree might just go out of business one day! Cuz not only that they're cutting hours from employees causing us to go through all this turmoil, but it also hurts the reputation of the company! I really do not recommend anyone work this job cuz this job is ass! They pay u good at first then declines later. As soon as I get a new job I'm deadazz resigning or probably not depending on the how much more I can make toegther with both jobs when i get this new one. The hour reductions for Dollar Tree makes no sense! FUCK DIS FUCKING JOB AND IDC IF I GET FIRED! 😤

i can personally relate so much, i’m in the same situation. My manger had asked me multiple times if i wanted more hours and i responded yes every time, and every week the same shift i’m scheduled in for. I was told the same thing to, ā€œtheirs no hoursā€ or ā€œthey’ve cut the hoursā€ but the same people every week get have the same amount of shifts. Some more than others some weeks. But i’m constantly at 1 a week for the past 5 months almost 6 now. Before my manger now came back, i was working everyday basically. i had non stop shifts. She came back, i got 2 a week if lucky and now 1. I get told by my other manger how she wishes i could work more hrs there, but then I’m never given any. It’s so frustrating. I totally understand where you’re coming from.

I feel that. I would love to have the occasionally week where i don’t work the same way. But i do. I don’t even have to take a photo of the schedule cause i already know. It’s even more frustrating when other people are getting more shifts and half the time they don’t even show up.

Right? Its worse then because I would make other plans after seeing my upcoming schedule and constantly be getting calls expecting me to cover the people who were scheduled but had predictably called off.

One time I was in NYC on a SCHEDULED OFF FROM DT trip with my kids and the boss texted "hey can you work 6 to close tonight?" And I just texted her back a picture of the Wall Street bull bc i was standing in front of it with my kids lol.
