I haven't posted in here in awhile. A few things:
1. My boss seems uninterested in telling people to put masks on. I've literally seen him walk past people with non on and say nothing. He also hates confrontation. We as employees were told by company to inform management and not to confront customers but I'm at the point I'm ready to say something to customers and if asked why I did I'll just say I'm not talking till I have Union representation
2. People do not keep their distance at all. Recently am now helping Produce (Given some issues and lack of help and my brother use to work for the manager over there) loading bananas today and I have people all up in my face climbing over me no excuse me or sorry. It was also Senior day. Last week loading potatoes and onions I'm kneeling to put some stuff up older guy gets right up to me when I look up at him his crouch is literally in my face. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT.
3. We haven't gotten any hazard pay since June of any kind.
4. A lot of my coworkers are frustrated including me with the lack of awareness or consideration. We've stopped sanitizing carts (left it to the cart people which is a bad move), we need to start limiting customers again and go back to one entrance, and sanitizing all day again. Way too many employees as well with no mask on in the back rooms or not wearing them correctly as well.
5. One of the issues is the ASD who I really really liked as a manager and a person she left for a new gig in the company but got her own store in the last month. Since she's been gone it's gone to
in terms of safety and all.
6. One of the newer girls who is about to turn 21 was gonna come work Liquor with me but informed me Wednesday night of last week it was her last day. She didn't feel safe with cases rising and the aforementioned above issues at the store. plus she's around family members who are high risk.
7. I'm at the point if things continue to go down hill I might just inform HR, my Union or someone. They'll ask if I talked to my SD about the issues and honestly all I have to tell them is "try working with the guy. Even issues in the work place about other stuff he either throws onto the ASD's, department heads or barely gives yo the time of day. Also if you do track him down long enough he ends up forgetting about it with in 2 days. So I'm stuck calling you and asking you to solve this. And trust me I've spent numerous times over the yrs trying to discuss stuff with him and it never works till I get the union or someone who will sit him down and discuss things." He seems more concerned about the bottom line then our safety. Plus we can tell people they have to leave if no masks as we have other ways to provide service for them.
I also had my Liquor department manager go out sick. She was not well on Saturday before Thanksgiving. I wasn't around her enough but my back up was who I've been with. Do to HIPPA we weren't even informed if she had covid or not. I feel despite those laws if you were around someone who tested positive I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW TO PROTECT MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHeRS AROUND ME. Really at a loss what to do anymore and begging we just get some sort of relief in form of a vaccine soon. Even with my Aspergers I must say up until this point I've handled a lot of this well and better then I thought I would. However these days its getting tougher especially those who you think are suppose to protect you aren't
