Corporate decisions/rules has sent morale into a nosedive. - Anonymous employee Goodwill Employee Review

Corporate gives us sick days, but gives verbal and written reprimands if you take it; even with a doctors excuse. Breaking this rule can end in firing. The same goes for personal days. Request must be submitted far in advance and then OK'd by management. So much for "personal". Short of a funeral for immediate family, you won't get off. The dress code is from hell. We used to wear comfortable jeans with blue shirts. Now it is uncomfortable, hot clothing with belts and aprons. Store managers are caught in the middle; forced to implement unfair policies and create stress in the workplace, or ignore corporate and do what is right making the workplace much more bearable but incurring the wrath of higher ups.
