Few months ago told my district manager that the current pay just could not cover the cost of living and that I would either be paid more here, or I'd have to find a new job. She told me she would see what she could do. She could do a .39 cent raise. That was it. I only stay because I love my coworkers and my store (and the employee discount helps me care for my animals) but the job is so godawfully horrendous that we've all been talking about leaving and people from multiple other stores in our district have already done that.

I work for walgreens, a small one in a small town so it's usually nice. The worst part.. once a week we have to destroy books. We tear them in half and throw them in the trash compactor. We all hate it. I've no clue why we can't donate them, doesn't matter the price or author. They all get destroyed.

If someone that you hire tells you "I can't do that to myself" then maybe it helps you realize maybe it just isn't the best setup for your workers.

Good on you for having that courage. Seriously inspiring, considering how many would've done the opposite.

LMAO this sounds so much like working at 2nd & Charles (a used book & collectable shop) except you had the spine to walk out on that first day! Beautiful art and kudos on standing up for yourself ✨

“I can’t do that to myself” as i continue to work at a place that drives me bananas 😅. But anyways this video was so satisfying to watch with all the paint strokes, absolutely stunning.
