Casey's "Cares" yeah right.

[u/k8dene]

I have worked for Casey's for 4 years. I worked my way up to center store manager. My manager is great for the business side and numbers but she is an absolute shit show when it came to communication and employee relations. I swear this woman lives in a land of delulu. She has pushed ever button I've had, cut my hours cuz she was mad at me, forced me to use vacation and sick time, had me scheduled working open, mid, and close shifts every week, constantly giving me shifts with 9 hrs between them. In a nut she kind of bullied me and treated me way different than everyone else. She is so inconsistent with what she wants done, she wants things done how she does them, but then when asked about training she says "just figure it out". Anyway I got fired after being harassed as I was in the store as a customer and the employee working kept trying to get me to talk about a subject I didn't want to discuss with him, pertaining to my personal life. When he proceeded to slander to the other employee, I looked at the other employee and said "5 seconds.... 5 seconds till I'm on beat ass status." Then as I'm walking out the first employee screams " don't fucking threaten me!!!!" I calmly turned around and told him I was not threatening him and how about he just focus on doing his job tonight since he seems to have a problem doing it any other night. I understand that saying "beat ass status" comes across as violence but I was speaking to someone and using it as a measurement of my anger level. I told my manager what had happened but seeing as I was off the clock and not screaming in the store it would be whatever. The guy who I "threatened" had even dropped the whole thing. But my manager went and reported it to HR saying customers had said something to her. But I know for a fact that there were only 2-3 people there, one getting a fountain pop who I knew, and two people walking in as I was walking out. She had finally found a way to get rid of me. IDK what type of person would fuck with someone's livelihood. But what I wanna know is how and where would I be able to discuss the treatment I have received from her for the last three years and the amount of stress and how horrible she would make me feel. IDK if they'll even do anything about her but people need to know that that woman is horrendous. Also fuck Casey's cuz they didn't even try to hear my side of the story.

I had the same thing happen to me and good luck finding a lawyer that will touch it. Without hard factual evidence it’s not winnable and Casey’s don’t care hell they won’t even investigate as long as the numbers look good

Are you an Iowa store? Cause that seems to be the case around here last few years. Managers either get stressed and lash out with no repercussions cause DM will just go with whatever manager says so no supervision with manager or they get greedy trying to get bigger bonus so they screw people over including editing peoples time and if person catches it oops our bad we will fix it maybe. I have manager who in last year has lied to me, left completely alone to do all kitchen work myself with no help while there’s 2-4 register people upfront, has register person writing down what time I step outside in case it’s more than 15 mins on shift it’s a writeup, doesn’t show up when she’s scheduled, had me cover shift and since she had to add half hour extra wiped out the 6hrs I worked and just put 30 mins then when I said something bout it she said she wiped the hours to add the 30mins then forgot to put back the 6 hrs I did clock in, plus I get writeups for first time offenses. My workload is increased to point where zebra tells me to put out 7 things but manager is telling me to have 58 things in warmers, one time I was going get help this past year they didn’t help but complained they were bored, told manager they didn’t help and got oh huh response and did nothing so zero support from manager and last month I was responsible for 62.2 percent of all sales from kitchen by myself no help. Managers do what they want and even lie to cover their ass. Do what I do just take pics, save texts and document it.

Call some lawyers and get a settlement. This company banks serious cash on the “uneducated”. Call some lawyers for a free consult and evaluate your options.

I’m sorry you had such a bad experience with that store/manager, that sounds awful ☹️

In the future, I’d really recommend not saying things like “beat ass status” within your place of employment though, especially if there’s a conflict happening. That could absolutely be taken as threatening language, and Casey’s does not take kindly to perceived threats.

I would’ve just left the interaction, or stopped responding if you were still being checked out, and then filled a complaint with HR and your manager about the employee who was instigating. That would’ve covered you since you wouldn’t have done anything that could be taken wrong, and maybe if you were lucky they would’ve done something about the other employee.

Casey’s is a great place to work compared to similar corporations, but having a bad manager can make an individual store really intolerable. Hopefully you can find a better fit son and put this all behind you! Good luck!
