@@Kashea_Allen I got out when I could, I admit I go back a few times and each and everytime it’s new faces, they never keep the deli team the same, that’s where I was, and the deli was a mine field. It got so bad that one team, (not mine but a sister store) from the bad deli treatment they actually all walked out and didn’t show up the next day. My former team actually prepared a journal with all our complaints and concerns only to be dismissed. It took such a bad toll on my health at one point I actually tried forcing myself to vomit to get out early when I could no longer call out. I remember actually having multiple anxiety attack and break downs on how my team was always short handed and never given the help and leniency we deserved. Managers through the deli came and went, I went through 6 managers in three years, and finally I was able to get out. But when I look back, I came out tougher, but the mental toll was not worth it.
