So yea today I went out on my lunch for me job. I get 30mins to go get something to eat but I choose to go get my pay check stub from my other CVS store because i'm in the middle of a transfer between stores. Well on the way back I got stuck in traffic which caused me to be 40mins past my 30 min lunch time. I called them when I had 5 mins left in my lunch to tell them i'm stuck in traffic and our cashier on duty answered and I told him to tell the manager on duty. Well after the time hit the 60min mark he called me on my cell phone to tell me to just go home. He was angry and everything and I tried to explain to him that i'm stuck in traffic. I was just a half a mile away from the store when he called too. I've never had this happen to me before and i've never been this late before on a lunch. I mean did I do something really wrong? I asked him if I have a report to sign.(Probably going to be writin up.) And he said no, then I asked him is this just a warning and he said for right now it is. I mean shit i've always tried to be a decent employee when working but i've never pissed off a manager like this before.

BTW I went to go get my pay check stub because there was an a pay error on it. I did NOT have to go get it but I thought I would have enough time too. I admit I shoudl not have attempted to go get my pay stub when it would cut it close but its not like I did'nt call and or did I do it on purpose. This guy from what I can tell never really liked me since I started working there 6 weeks ago or at least he don't really say much to me at all. Shit guys I mean I don't usually freak out on most stuff but for some reason I do when shit goes down at my job. I don't know what it is. I'm just looking for input I guess.

Alot of it has to do with the fact that you work at CVS. He's probably used to dead beat employees, and has lost a bit of patience, and a little trust, when it comes to a situation where it's actually legitimate.

From your point of view, it's beyond your control. From his, maybe you were smoking a bowl and lost track of time, and came with this "Stuck in traffic" Bullshit story, he thinks.

That's why he acted the way he did. Might wanna clear it up.

Or, he could just be a complete asshole.

One other thing to consider, at CVS, supervisor's are probably told that subordinates are replaceable, and always availablel to hire, so they just have that whole "fuck em anyway" attitude. That's the corperate world for ya, and a large chain company does by mubers and dollars, rather than with any concern for low level employees. EDIT: Unless I guessed wrong, and you're a little higher up the ladder than that.

I like your post!!! Your Boss is just a pre-judgemental ass don't worry about him, just keep working show your trustworthy and that was a one off. Or like Mike Tyson once said "I'll fuck you till you luuuuurve me!"

So yea the same guy who told me to go home early is not in the hospital with extreme strep throat. He has called off the rest of the week. I feel sorry for him because i've had the same thing this past winter.

Is CVS going to be a life long career choice for you? If so, then apologies out the ass.

If you want to use CVS as a reference later in life, apologies a time or two, tell him it won't happen again and move on.

If you don't plan on being at CVS forever or using it as a reference and if he wants to be a dick about... Stand up for yourself. Tell him to go fuck himself. Life is too short for that kind of crap.

In the past 4 days....

I had $70 error on my check in favor of CVS.
I lost 5 hours pay for being late.
Got a customer complaint on me.
My monitor to my computer blew out.(Borrowing one from a friend.)

Thats just the bad things. That don't include the good things. I have learned a lot of the past few days. I have no slept very well since Friday. Apparently I feel really bad about what happened.

Yea i'm still debating what to do because it is the only job i've ever had. I'm going back to school for a 2 or 4 year degree in IT. It depends on whether or not I can get a job with a company in IT in the next few months.

Well in UK a verbal warning (like yours over the phone) isn't worth shit. Unfortunatly you've only been there for 6 weeks, if this was UK that would go against you. Just sucker up to him and bit your lip.

First of all, it's "my job and I", if you worded your sentences correctly, maybe your manager will like you better. I'm kidding.

Secondly, if your manager is that inflexible, then he/she isn't a particularly good manager. I mean who gets that pissed off? I would understand if you were late for an important meeting, but just getting back to work? I think he/she overreacted. Don't worry buddy, you can do better.
