Right now it just feels like beating a dead horse, but that tends to be how it is with most retail jobs unfortunately. Heard through a random tweet that our ceo is all upset or whatever about the news posts that have been put out about the company recently. So I downloaded our work app again just to read through it and it was pretty much what I expected. And then the comments were everything I expected as well. Pretty much everyone commenting is just saying thank you this thank you that and the very small handful of people that criticize, even the smallest thing get jumped on. Either other people commenting back and trying to change their minds or they get jumped on by people that have higher positions and, "contact me, I'll be calling you, I'll be getting a hold of you, you need to contact this person to talk about these issues." Granted even if it does sound like they're attempting to help, it comes off as very aggressive. Along with a lot of the people commenting and kissing ass are those in regular management positions or higher.

I really really really want to comment with something or another, but I know it won't help anything and it'll just create more of a headache for myself. I really want to comment and bring up how I was told my gm was on a conference call saying that stores that didn't order animals in got in trouble. How the breeders need to change how things are run if they have to euthanize animals because they don't have places to send them out to. That, not even pertaining to all of this, how many times me and others have broken down at the store and at home crying because of something that's happened at work. How I'm told I have to sell an animal and can't deny the person, even if I know they won't be taking care of it properly. How I feel like I can't get a higher position now because I'd be stretched that thinner than I am now. The list could go on and on and I'd probably just get told by people that I should find a new job then, that I should stop working there and this and that.

Yeah there's always going to be a good and a bad with every company, no matter what it is. But when one tries to play the game of, "everything's alright and we're doing everything we can" when you can't, then there's a problem. At least give me my bullshit upfront.
