holy crap that sounds like some of the jobs out here. the art gallery across from my old store fired a girl in the middle of her second week for "asking too many questions"
as for my old job, i actually didn't have it as bad as most. i just refused to take even that much shite from them. but they loved to put full timer's on salary then work them 50-60 hours a week, Washington, unlike much the rest of the country actually requires by LAW that even salary be paid overtime. when our manager was made our store manager, and the manager of another store simultaniously, she still hadn't gotten a raise from being asst. manager (her title from before) she had no health benifits, and accrued no vacation. plus despite the law being very very clear about it, the owners refused to pay overtime at all. one salaried employee who also had no benifits whatsoever was offered the chance to accrue vacation time. want to know how? basically he had to go to one of the two stores he didn't normally work at on his day off, and work an entire shift for free. and everytime he did that they put that day twards vacation. i don't know what the hell is wrong with small buisiness owners that make them such heartless assholes. but it's put me off from working in a franchise again permenently.
