Svantaggi
They (managers, fellow workers) treated me during my daylong stint as an Aisles Online Shopper in November 2022. While I got a decent first impression from the person who who hired me on, both of the bosses that I worked with on my shift were so authoritarian and condescending that I decided to quit the job the same day I began. The job only had two saving graces, (a) I had very kind co-workers and (b) I got meaning out of helping individuals find their groceries. In essence, my issues with the management were twofold. First, there was a rigidly enforced dress code (e.g., I had to trim my beard to a certain length). Certain elements of this code, like my example, were overly strict and infringed upon my personal autonomy (and on others' as well, I am sure). Second, and more importantly, I got the distinct impression that these managers did not want to do their jobs (i.e., were lazy). While I was asked for my time off requests beforehand, I got called into the office after shift by these two bosses and told that my schedule "was not going to fly" because "I have too many people to schedule and cannot manage X number of individuals." The gist of our conversation was, "Sorry, but we cannot accommodate your needs because we are too lazy to do our jobs." Utter incompetence and disregard for others' well-being permeates this store's upper management. If you can, please avoid working here.
