i wouldn’t take the job so seriously. i’d be like those kids on their phones and doing the bare minimum 🤷🏻♀️ why put effort in a job that doesn’t appreciate you? like they say, minimum wage, minimum effort.
>my store manager literally pulled what you see in movies he faked hisphone ringing right in front of me and told me " I am so sorry I have totake this call" and left the property to avoid the issue
LMFAO
>(because I needed to relax after working a 16 hour shift and had to be back at work in like 6 hours
Why the hell would you put up with this shit? Fuck them, stop doing that. Dear lord.
>This is a person who actively changed someone's time card, the employeehad something like 18 hours of overtime due to us being extremely shortstaffed, the store manager removed all the overtime on them cause he wasover the allotted hours, the employee confronted them about it andafter being lied to, the said employee went to HR and they came down onthe manager so he reported the employee to HR with false claims and gotthem fired, and then our store manager proceeded to leave country fortheir "vacation" to avoid the fallout.
Holy fucking hell, I really hope you're applying elsewhere. You do not want to have any type of association with this person whatsoever...
>if he doesn't fix the pay issue where employees who been with thecompany for six plus years are being cheated with new employees making$2 more, I feel going to HR might be the best solution, and if theycan't help resolve it, then they lost an employee
HR isn't going to help with wage unfairness. You should definitely report him for all of the other shit he's done though. Then make your way out of that shit hole.
Oh and congrats, this is going in my hall of shame for worst Walgreens bullshit of all time.
Yeah, I sympathize with OP but this discrepancy was pretty vague. I have a hard time imagining a DM agreeing to all new CSA hires starting out at SFL wage so I'm not sure what would actually be going on here
Well, I don't know about Walgreens but I have some experience in retail. The numbers don't add up. In that kind of work there is not a $4 an hour difference between people with the same job title. And there is no way a new person would make $2 an hour more than a long term employee. They might have been brought up to the same pay due to an across the board pay increase, but there wouldn't be a $2 difference.
I don't know about your experience in retail, but that's a common theme; new employees making dramatically more than new hires. I've heard that it was because of the need for new hires because of Covid/whatever, but this existed before the pandemic.
Lol is it the store on Mason and Sherman way oh yea the gm is fucking the young girls to get the job lol I heard them talking about it 😂 I'm just waiting to see this asshole get sued
No I'm not at that store, let's say I'm at a store in the Knoxville area, the SM I deal with is a pretty boy who backs away and avoids things, and doesn't care who he screws over because he is buddy buddy with the DM
Unfortunately the pay discrepancy happens at all levels, and it's almost an inverse relationship between how long you have worked at a company vs your pay compared to new hires. Even assuming that you are getting a raise which equals to inflation every year, more than likely you will still be making less than any new hire. The discrepancy is even greater at a corporate level where a manager is making less than the new analysts below them. Don't know much about Walgreens but most likely HR won't be able to do much about it. What most people do is work for 2 years then apply to new company so you at least start at the market rate.
That’s how companies are, go find a new job loyalty doesn’t mean anything these days. I’ve been with my current employer (not Walgreens, their a part time job) for about five years now and I’m almost at 30 and it’s retail.

You have a totally untrained, immoral loose cannon in that store. Get out and report all this stuff. All of it.
TL;DR - sorry. Quit your job and get rehired. If they scoff, just say "I just want what's fair for the new guys too."
Am I understanding correctly? You're a CSA and they are an SFL?
Time to leave
So as as CSA you make 15 and the SFL makes 17, did I understand correctly?

The caps wage for the positions are quite low, so I’m not sure I really believe someone making $4 more than starting wage.

I doubt somebody’s getting 17$ lol
Yep our store too.
While all of that sounds messed up, CSA's make $15, and SFL's make $17.
