Costco has a huge reputation of being really worker friendly. There are fb groups of people providing tips and tricks on how to improve their chances at working at Costco, like they were trying to get into Harvard.
I’m pretty sure a lot of it was the specific manager I worked for. I was getting in trouble for the most ridiculous things… they got mad at me for writing hey in emails instead of hello or hi, got mad at me when my teammates didn’t do something correctly, got in trouble for working 7 minutes overtime by accident (then got in trouble for taking lunch between back-to-back meetings), spoke poorly about my teammates when they weren’t around and would not communicate expectations until after I did something wrong. Additionally, I was told I’m too anxious when providing feedback on the things I was hired to provide feedback on, and there was no work/life balance. Maybe I’ve been blessed to have better jobs before this, but I didn’t know a workplace could be so toxic
This email reminds me of the literal month that I lasted at the Costco world headquarters… Never again
Spill the tea!
