Title partially has to do with the Sum 41 song that I keep listening to when it comes to all the crap I've dealt with at work. ^^;
Because, things are starting to catch fire finally. About last week I finally finished typing up my letter to Petco HR. The one thing I still find surprising is that they claimed it wasn't an HR claim and it was sent to employee relations or something like that? I guess it's kind of whatever as long as it gets sent to someone and they do something about it. Well, yesterday I got scheduled a call with the person that's handling everything. I'm surprised we actually got through all of it right at a half an hour like she said people usually do. But they are going to investigate everything, which surprises me on multiple levels. Especially since I don't work there anymore. But I guess they're trying to show that that when it comes down to it they do care about harassment/bullying in the company. The one unfortunate thing is she does not deal with any of the animal concern issues, so I'm hoping that gets sent to another person here.
The call went well enough. Since she's essentially a go between, I have no idea where it goes to after this. I made it clear to her that my GM was reported on several occasions and nothing was done about it due to the DGM being part of the problem. So I'm hoping that someone else will end up handling the situation. I need to email her again here either way, since I have specific dates of instances that I couldn't fully remember over the phone. The one really good thing that happened in the call was she said they will be attempting to contact other employees to get their feedback on the situation as well. So I asked her if I was able to specifically give some of these people her email. Since I have most of their contact information still and I was sure most of them probably would say something. So far my old manager, who quit last Friday because of the GM, and the old GM is going to speak up as well about the issues the current one has caused. Which I figured will speak volumes compared to even me. The ironic thing is that GM was part of the problem years ago as well. She did start to finally get better during the last few years she was there. I at least figure this is a literal enemy of my enemy situation. So it can only really help me.
But yeah, the start of hopefully some good news in all of this. I still don't expect or really want my job back at this point. But I'm just really hoping that it'll cause enough problems that if I'm really lucky they force her to either leave the store or to step down.
On another note I haven't looked for a job just yet. I probably will here soonish at this point. I'm mostly still just trying to take it easy for a while. I know the one thing that'll really be a pain going back to work is having to leave the dogs alone at home again and put Tsume back in his crate when we're not here. Though with how things are and depending on the job I either might not be able to get enough hours for that to be a problem or just depending on the shifts I get I may be able to circumvent that either way.
