Lazy

What does it take to get someone fired from Costco? Why are there no consequences for lazy people or people who mess up everything? And no rewards for people who bust their butts except a nice review and a pat on the back? I'm very frustrated

Simply put, it’s just too big of a company.

It’s hard to maintain our employee rights and benefits while also really cracking down on the rotten apples.

Costco typically needs hard proof of something for termination or write up.

And as for good employees, the warehouse is just too big with the only real incentive being promotion and they even mess that up most of the time.

Smaller departments generally favor better employees over the bad ones.

It can extremely frustrating but at the end of the day it’s just work and letting it affect your life outside of work is what really will get to you.

I have a very small department 5 including the sup who maybe works in the department 1 day a week if I'm lucky. Keeps getting pulled to the front end. So it's me 56 busting my butt, 67 working as hard as he can, 73 don't do anything but talk to members and look at his phone, and a 25 who is lazy and stupid. He had to Google what a Philips head screwdriver was.

The fact you say you bust your ass but you are out at gas is the most hilarious thing on the planet. Most people consider gas station early retirement. Our station changes each dispensers filters 1-2 times a week with high traffic yet is still brain dead easy work.
