CommunityAid Unfair Work Environment, Terminated Unjustly, Terrible HR, Management and Ownership Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania

You have completely missed the point. I adored my job. I busted my a*s for them and was glad to do it. You keep saying "its work,  not fun" like I didn't want to do it. That's not it at all. I want them to acknowledge the employees who are still there for doing the same things before they leave. They obviously don't appreciate hard work. And being that CommunityAid (search it as two words, there are several other repports) is a non profit organization and boasts about all the charity work they do, it shouldn't all be about profit.

As being a disgruntled employee, yeah I guess you could ay I'm a bit upset. I could even go so far as depressed at times. But seeing as when he makes a rebuttal all he can do is say "oh don't believe this person they're just a former disgruntled employee" or "hey go to our website or come to our store, it'll be fine" I figured he should have a little more to say.

 Since I am not this Glenn person I have no idea what this store is..I'll do it.  You can try to deny it all you want but you sound like the standard definition of a "Disgruntled Employee".  After all if this place is so bad why are you so upset about being fired?  One would think you would have left this job a long..long time ago.

Here is some information for you..work sucks..that is why it is called work and not fun.  You are going to be asked to do things you don't want to do.  You are going to have to deal with people that you don't like.   Your going to run into managers who have their "favorites", you are also going to find out a lot of times you will also find out that this idea of "favorites" is all in your mind and doesn't really exist.  The successful people work through this and make the best of it.

Here is some information on business.  Full time employees cost more money because they have benefits.  An employer could have 2 part time employees working a total of more hours than 1 full time employee for a lot less money.  It's just business.  If when you start you own business you want everyone to have benefits..then more power too you and I am sure you will have employees lining up down the street. But it doesn't make this company a RipOff.

Oh and as an FYI a $50 Christmas Bonus AND a $25 certificate is about $75 more than most companies give their employees.

 But you ARE disgruntled. Sounds to me that you have a few issues with wealth dispersment. So the owner doesnt give the best christmas gifts, big deal. They dont have to give you ANYTHING. So $75.00 during this time of year is a bit more useful then say a stocking full of candy.

You are complaining about "full time" and "part time" like there is any difference with the exception of hours and benifits. You STILL have to do the work reguardless of if you work 4 hours or 8 hours. What youre complaining about is the same EVERYWHERE. You attempt to bash the owner, but the owner is in business, wait for it, TO MAKE MONEY!!!!! Its obvious to me atleast that you have never had the responsability of managment. Two of the biggest costs for ANY business is PAYROLL and INVENTORY. If you can run a shop with a few less people then you do so to make your business MORE profitable. After the costs of employees and inventory weekly, whatever is left is used to pay bills. Whatever is left AFTER bills is the profit. I can tell you this much as a member of managment. The profit is normally as small as it gets. Due mainly in part to the consumer either trying to get something as cheap as they can or just buying the bare minimum. And lets not get into online ordering...thats a brand of hell that the retail business HAS to endure.

Really sounds like there is going to be NO JOB that is going to make you happy. They call it WORK for a reason. Its called work and NOT happy happy funtime. Your complaints are shallow at best. Slander at the worst. Yes YOU may have been useful as an employee, but if they let you go then you MUST have done something to either iritate them or you broke company policys.

You need to grow a slightly thicker skin. Its this way NO MATTER WHERE YOU WORK. The best thing you can do in the future at your new job is to not participate in the office politics. Its unneeded stress. Help where you can but dont go above and beyond. Because they will only appreciate the above and beyond for maybe a min or two. When the s**++ hits the fan they dont care or care to remember the efforts you have put in.
