My Bad Experience Working At Kohls

I worked for Kohls Department store for 2 years,and everyday that I had to report for work,I would always show up for work an hour early and some of the people that I worked with did not like me showing up for work that early. They would always ask me "why are you here at work so early?" and some of them would always show up for work 15-30 mins early, and on top of that,i would always get singled out for pretty much anything and everything and the same day and it felt as if I was bullied by my own co-workers.

On my last day at kohls,I was chatting with my co-worker about my co-worker being a c*** and my area supervisor heard it and told me that "I was making the company look bad and myself look bad and that if I had anger issues to vent somewhere else" thats when it spread like wildfire around the store and the manager-on-duty heard about it and decided to fire me. I guess you could say that I was being bullied out of being fired and wasnt wanted there. for anyone thats looking for a job,kohls is NOT a good company to work for because they treat the good co-workers like second class citizens and the upper management/area floor supervisors are snobs and treat anyone like crap! Just Saying....

labtech (03/03/2011) I can see you are upset, and I'm sorry you had a bad work experience. You might find a better place to work, but in this economy, who knows. You really had nothing better to do than to give Kohls an extra hour of your time, without pay, every day you worked there ? Making everyone else look 'bad' compared to you, because they only showed up 15-20 minutes early ? If you wanted to stand out from the crowd by showing up an hour early, you did that, but I bet all you got out of it was more work, difficult work, and NO raise. And you let them trap you into saying something rude about a supervisor, and you expected no repercussions from that ? Of course they singled you out. You need to be very careful in what you say at a job. Your boss may be terrible, mean, make stupid decisions, etc, but you should not say this to a coworker. Most workplaces don't treat workers well. Most managers are snobs and treat workers horribly. And coworkers don't like it when a fellow coworker makes them look bad by showing up an hour early for work every day he works. Supervisors definitely don't like it when an employee speaks negatively about them. You have to watch who you speak to, what you say, and you have to do what the others do - if they show up only 15-20 minutes late, so do you. Take it as a lesson learned. Whatever (03/06/2011) Really? You referred to a co-worker as a c*** and you are surprised you were fired? You sound like a clueless, antisocial idiot. Very glad you were fired. Sure hope you don't apply for a job where I work. anonymous (03/11/2011) I can see why snotty people like you get ahead of the corporate ladder and kissing the managers a**! besides who do you think you are calling me a clueless sociopath and you dont even know me. sweety you need to grow up! @ whatever Whatever (03/11/2011) Yup. I'm snotty. I don't go around calling people c***s. Especially where others can hear it. You will play the victim all your life and never realize your biggest problem is yourself. But, enjoy your minimum wage jobs. You'd better. You will have a lot of them. Whatever (03/11/2011) Oh, and I find it funny that you read the word "antisocial" as "sociopath." Perhaps you have heard that as a diagnosis before? Anonymous (03/12/2011) people like you,make my day soooo much better! thank you,thank you,thank you,THANK YOU! :) @whatever (06/25/2011) @whatever You're a moron. Just because you don't use profanity doesn't mean you're not a snob. Kohl's is one of the worst retailers out there. The poster just needs to get a job that allows this person with a strong work ethic to succeed. It's usually not in retail. socem (06/28/2011) I worked as a manager for Kohl's - in several capacities and ended up as a store manager. While I agree completely that it is hard to work for this company, I know that an employee coming in that early is not a good thing unless they are specifically asked to do so. There is a very tight budget for payroll and every seven (yes, seven) minutes counts big time. Unpaid? While generous of you, it sets the store up for a lawsuit and no manager wants that. Last, profanity of any type is prohibited and unacceptable. You were a representative of the company and profanity of any type serves no purpose. Thus, you were relieved of your employment. Simple as that. Regardless of your past excellent service, profanity is legitimate grounds for termination. Sphincter Detector (06/28/2011) @Whatever, why are allowing yourself to react to these rediculous comments. Can’t you see you are being baited? Don’t you know that Annonymous is the all-time champion Master Baiter? Listen, we’ve all had less than perfect moments in our life ..(as if any of the judges on this panel have never called their boss or supervisor an A-Hole or whatever else..), we just never got caught. Doesn’t make us better people than you, just better at not getting caught. A one- time event hardly constitutes an entire work ethic nor is it systemic of a deep rooted behavioral issue that deserves a public lynching on JobSchmob, much less get fired for. You were fired for other reasons, and this was the excuse they needed. You have to learn to read your environment to guage how people respond to your extra efforts and do extra only when it benefits you. Considering it a blessing that you are no longer in that dysfunctional environment . Ends justify the means. Anonymous (07/06/2011) lmao master baiter! yeah im glad im not working there either,besides they switch managers like the nba switches players and/or coaches Peon (09/24/2011) Lol to the post that said kohls doesn't reward good workers. In fact it the exact opposite. Good workers usually get promotions while the people like the op sit around chatting about how much work they do while taking 6 hours to put out one rail of clothing and then complain that they don't get hours. I do agree that kohls is a horrible place to work because they tend to hold on to crap workers. They have a horrible policy of 15 occurrences a year. Team that up with low paid managers that are lazy and no one is held accountable for anything. Bulls*** (10/13/2011) Does Kohl's reward hard work? In retail, or any industry for that matter, we have a little thing called politics. unprofessionalism from management runs rampant. You don't seem to have a problem with the snobbery from management. I have a news flash-that's not how you motivate people. Corporate loves dumb managers who they can take advantage of in the midst of exploiting their dispensable, desperate workers. Maybe it's not just your employees attitudes that suck; management does as well you silly, entitled, hypocrites. Grow up. POST A COMMENT »
