I've worked at two other places, and Famous Footwear was my favorite, well, until the last couple of weeks, when suddenly they started saying they had payroll problems. I was working near 40 hours a week, and the district manager even told me directly to find another job, because my hours are going to get cut down to 10.
I feel sad because the new store manager is slashing hours. She even cut the assistant manager's hours down from what they were and everyone's unhappy. I think she's getting a lot of pressure from above, like from the district manager, but she's very abrasive and takes it out on us by being disrespectful to people. I asked her a question and she snapped back at me and I've seen her act the same way to other people, not just me. I got kind of angry today and I know it showed but I don't want to be that way at work. I'm just so frustrated with the whole situation.
I guess she must be under a lot of stress too. I hope everyone starts to feel better soon.
I have been really upset about the hours situation and I haven't been able to hide my feelings well and I hope that she doesn't take it personally. I feel like the company is making it really hard on me. I feel torn because I need to make more money than this and yet I get along with everyone else at work really well and this is the first job ever that I don't hate and actually enjoyed.
I just hope I can find another good job soon so that I won't have so much anxiety.
She's even taking away hours that she already has me scheduled for, like today I was supposed to work till 6, and she told me to clock out at 5:30 and wouldn't let me stay even though I told her I wouldn't take a break if I could stay. And one day last week she called me and told me not to come in even though I was scheduled to work that night. I had already gotten ready to go and everything and of course I have no way to receive any compensation for that time lost.
I understand if there's payroll problems that she can't schedule me for very many, but once she puts them on the schedule I feel awful if I don't get the hours I feel I've been promised.
