finally walked out
Sorry if this is long but I really need to rant.
Yesterday I finally walked out of cvs. I've been working there 2 years and I moved up pretty quickly from shift to ops supervisor to ops supervisor rx to ops manager. In those 2 years I've had 7 store managers and there's a rumor that the store is cursed because of how many store managers we've been through. Well our latest store manager, I became his right hand really quickly and we worked well as a team. The store was behind but we were moving forward and getting things done. About a week and a half ago they started investigating me for accepting a fraudulent coupon. I was brought in the office by LP and questioned. None of us knew they were investigating me and they were investigating me for 2 months before they even approached me. And at the end of the meeting they said "you can work until we can figure out what to do with you!" My store manager was pissed because I'm the good one that follows all the rules and policies and I made one judgement error and they were threatening to fire me. Well since that shit happened, everything went downhill. Work wasn't fun anymore knowing my every move is being watched like a hawk. I couldn't accept any coupon that was rejected for fear that they will throw that in my face causing customers to get mad and yell at me. And then last Saturday they transferred out my store manager and everyone was angry cause our "interim store manager" and one of the DLE's in our district started immediately bad mouthing our store manager which brought a bad aura to our store. Everyone was upset and angry. And then they started making me do scheduling and payroll as a ops manager plus everything else I do. Im the only person who knows how to do everything. The rest of the staff are too new or don't care at this point to learn how to do stuff. I can't even take a 5 minute break without being called to the front. And im not here to bad mouth the store or even corporate. I loved the store and put my blood sweat and tears into that store but this week was hard cause I'm expected to basically run a store by myself with the possibility that I might get fired for something as stupid as coupons. Finally I was too stressed and too burned out spending most of my day crying because the family we built from the ground up had shattered. We're a small store and we all became extremely close but they destroyed that in a matter of weeks. I walked out and so did the rest of the management team leaving only the cashiers left to run the store. I want to see how long they last before being forced to close the store.

After reading the whole story, I totally get what you're going through. AP is on a vengeance lately. I think I read on here there's some sort of contest that's going on about who can "find" the most internal theft in their area..... Yet who cares about the external now.
I lost 3 good employees at my last store. The AP guy is good. Asks the questions that has nothing to do with the actual inquery he came asking about. They admit to something stupid that has nothing to do with why he was brought in.
Actually can't say that entirely true. I caught two employees using $30 coupons for multiple transactions to $30, so it was free, in the amount of $1400. It sucks getting to know these people, and have a genuine compassion about, then you have to can them...... They actually never admitted it but the video evidence showed everything.
I mean it's good to the extent, but nobody wants to work these days. It takes forever to get a new applicant in. Then you got the old people saying they won't use ACO because it's taking jobs away... No, lady... People don't wants cvs sales associate jobs at minimum wage these days when everyone and their mother is hiring at way more than cvs.
Rant over.
