I worked in a fabric store for only six months, and after the first two months, I stopped caring about the company's bottom line. I did try to stop things like big scams still (even more disheartening: my boss allowed two scammers to rip us off repeatedly for hundreds of dollars at a time, though we warned her otherwise). Because it was my job, I did my best, but I stopped trying to push "above and beyond" because there was no point in it. Life doesn't reward you just because you work hard. Your employers do. In an ideal world, karma would come around and help out, sure, but in a company you know is rotten? Nope.One of my co-workers and fellow managers was given an assessment for a raise. She passed said assessment with flying colours. Full marks. Worked her butt off to get high marks, and was working unpaid overtime, hoping they would see her effort and reward her. They did. They gave her a pat on the back: a raise of five cents to add to her already-too-low wage of $8.25, and told her that the store's shrink was too high for them to give her anything better. When she protested that our shrink was so high because we didn't have enough staff to walk the floor and prevent shoplifting, the GM and corporate both shrugged and said "tough toenails, that's the rule". So if a company expects you to prevent theft, but doesn't give you the resources or means to prevent theft, and then continues to punish you because they didn't provide you with the means of preventing the theft, you get pretty bitter, pretty fast. They spent more money trying to keep employees from stealing on the job than they did on preventing blatant shoplifting. About a month into having started working there, all employees were suddenly required to carry store-provided, clear plastic tote bags to and from work; all employees had to have their bags checked by management before they were allowed to exit the store for break or to go home; these costs could have been relegated to hiring more people on per shift to prevent shoplifting and shrink, and instead they put it towards making our employees feel like they were criminals. And most of our employees were already working another job on top of this one. Several quit, and went to work for our competitor when they opened a store down the road, because they didn't treat their employees like garbage.
