I use to work for your company family dollar as an assistant manager in Lewistown MT store number 12629. My store manager Tammy just recently fired me claiming that I had been wrote up three times and I was only written up once. She has threated to write me up a few times including the time I got stranded in Great Falls because my car broke down and I couldn’t make it home I tried all day and didn’t make it until 4pm the next day, and the time I was really sick from my medical issues and she claims she seen me driving around town which she didn’t all she seen was my car which I let my boyfriend use that day since I didn’t work. The one time I was wrote up Tammy the store manager messaged me at 2:00pm on July 1st, 2022, that there was a mandatory store meeting everyone had to be there at 4pm. I showed up she pulled me into the office to write me up and try to get me to work nights. I was the only one there. When I got hired on, I explained that I can not work nights as I am a single parent of a two-year-old with medical issues and do not have a babysitter for nights which she was informed of when I went into my interview. She tried multiple times to schedule me for nights in which I told her I cannot. During my interview I explained that my daughter and I both have medical issues that cause us to get sick extremely easy and when we do we have to stay home. She explained to me that would not be an issue and she would tell Matt, our district manager. Another time she had threated to write me up on Monday July 18Th 2022 I messaged say I apologize but I will not be able to make it into work I totally forgot I’ve had a specialist appointment scheduled for about 5 months now in Great Falls and I forgot about it until they called me that morning about it, and this is when she fired me saying I had been wrote up three times when I had only been wrote up once because I have never been presented with any other write ups but the one. I was not given a copy of the write up and I did not sign anything. Here are some more things you need to know they have garbage piled up in the break room. And when frozen truck gets there, they put the food in the ice freezer if they cannot get it out in 2 hours which would be ok except for the fact the ice freezer doesn’t keep them frozen there has been food in the ice freezer for about a month now thawed they keep putting out into the freezers. Including sausage, pizzas, and stuff that once they are thawed, they cannot be frozen again. They are going to end up making someone sick. And the change of attitude towards me after finding out who my boyfriend was and pushing him off by discriminating against him, he quit according to the handbook both of us being managers was not against the handbook, but we didn’t really date until he quit just had a thing it was hidden from everyone until Alesha my cashier found out. I started to get treated like a number instead of a human. And slowly getting pushed out and feeling like I was wanted there. I then got Joann hired to work there an old coworker of mine. After she was hired, I started to get pushed out even more because she wanted to have days. After everything I had done for that store, it was kind of surprising because I’ve done above and beyond for this store to keep it running, including come in off shift and using my lunch times to have my brother-in-law bring his trailer over and try to get all the boxes in the back thrown away because the garbage bill didn’t get paid and they took our garbage can. The cardboard boxes are piled so high in the back that the wind takes off with them, so I loaded about a half of a trailer full and took it to the cardboard place while off shift and on my lunch breaks. And working over my limit of what my health can do to get everything out as fast as I could and in the right places. And still Tammy would call me into the office and tell me I’m not doing enough and working slow.
When I was hired on, I worked 7 days a week anywhere from 9-4 and 9-9 trying to keep this store running and so Tammy could have days off. With the garbage bill not being paid the garbage was getting piled up in the break room because there was nowhere to put it, so tammy paid for it to be taken to the dump herself and I loaded it with her. Not even the alcohol bills are paid we can’t get alcohol delivered because the bill has not been paid. They treatment and discrimination I have seen in this place and have experienced is way overboard on wrong. People are quitting after only a few days because of it people who have been there a long while are quitting because of the way they are being treated. Tammy treats everyone like they are garbage that works there. The only people she doesn’t treat that way are her friends that work there and she even managed to run one of them off. I hope this message make it to you and something is going to be done because if not that store will end up being ran into the ground there are only a certain amount of people in this town, that you can screw over like that before nobody applies anymore
