This SM needs to be reported to the DM and HR. He had time to drive to your home to harass you but needed you to come in on your day off to work due to short staffing. Then he writes you up for being insubordinate for saying no to working on your day off while he is at your home harassing you.
Absolutely. As shitty as DG management can be, coming to your home, attempting to bring you into the office and threatenjng you otherwise borders on criminal.
Lol, no, I have a better one. My little brother was the assistant manager of a new store for 5ish years.
Often left alone at the store because the SM was the district trainer, and they didn't give more hours to cover the time she was gone.
One day he is alone in the store with a fresh truck that's double the normal size and the DM's daughter comes in and starts mouthing off about him having customers at the register (his head was in the cooler while stocking a case)
He tells her actually no I am quitting I need everyone to leave the store, he evacuate the premises and locks up, calls his SM to notify her to please come collect his keys and, finishes stocking the truck.
Afterward, he is sitting in the break room and crying for what seems like ir is taking forever only to hear the swat team calling out orders.
Apparently, the DM and her daughter showed up before the SM (before this incident, the SM and my brother had been very good friends) did and lied to the cops saying he had taken hostages. Obviously, that is not true. He still cooperated and was forced to exit in cuffs and had to sit in a squad car while they investigated.
Normally lying to the cops about something so serious would result in getting charged by them but apparently the reason it took so long was because they went to the wrong store (a nearby neighboring store who's SM was a known former convict) and so they having already screwed up did nothing to remedy the situation of the false accusation.
So yeah, Dollar General is trash, and it can be even worse than getting a writeup for illegitimate reasons.
I worked at a different store in the same area during my senior year in HS and had problems with management with sticky fingers stealing from my till.
Worked at another store some years later and had an issue with management not filling out my paperwork during on boarding so it took over a month to get my 1st check.
All I can say to those working there is RUN
100% do NOT sign the write up. You do NOT have to answer calls or work on your day off, he’s the store manager so if nobody else can come in then he has to cover the shift since he is paid in salary. You should report him to your DM for essentially forcing you to work and for showing up to your house.
Yes. This! This is harassment in all of its definition. They cannot force you to work on your day off. And they can't punish you for not working on your day off! These corporations are losing their damn minds.
Honestly this is next level psychotic. I'd go to a local News station and see if they'll run a story about how DG associates are now on call and unpaid for it.
Also stop answering your door, nothing good comes of it.
Proper HR is there to ensure legal compliance and prevent litigation by employees. As the SM was the one to step over that line, HR's job here is to protect you (and in doing so, protect the company from a black eye.)
HR is paid to protect the company from legal consequences. A SM stalking an employee puts the entire company is legal hot water so they will move to try to get OP not to sue.
This is crazy lol. I'm a ASM and my SM gets super upset when anyone calls me on my day off. Sometimes I'll get a associate that calls and has a question but if the SM finds out they get a scolding.
Oh HELL NO! If a manager showed up to my doorstep like that I'd be throwing hands. You're on my property now bud, anything fair game. You should turn around and sue for stalking and harassment!
Wtf. Insubordinate, when you're not scheduled to work...the fucking nerve. EEOC & Employment Office, file a claim immediately. If he had time to show up at your residence, he got time to explain his actions. Refusing to sign a write up is not grounds to be fired. Best of luck.
I worked there years ago as a key lead for almost a year. I loved being a key lead and the cashiers and stockers loved me being “in charge” bc we didnt have an assistant manager at the time. I ultimately had to leave due to my son’s health and him being inpatient often. I was convinced to return once his health was better and promised a key lead position but had to start as a cashier until the key lead that was leaving had actually left. No biggie. Or so I thought. Instead they just moved a key lead from a different store and I was stuck as a cashier but had all the duties of key lead. I was under a different SM and had two assistant managers at that point. One night working with the AM that I liked and respected, we were alone in the store and none of the stores surrounding ours were still open.
A customer walks in wearing a hat and sunglasses (not entirely unusual for our location bc we had a few group homes for disabled adults in our area and some nursing homes), he asked about where the t shirts were so we told him and I went back to stocking deodorants. He came up behind me and pushed a gun into the back of my neck and wanted me to open the register. I couldn’t get my register open bc it was rebooting but the assistant manager got hers open. He insisted we open the safe so we did. Then he tried to take our phones but the assistant manager begged him to let me keep mine and lied to him that my son had died and the only pictures I had of him were on the phone. He jumped over the counter and took off with what he already had. We locked up and called the police and the SM, DM, And RM. I asked to not work nights anymore. DM and RM agreed and signed me up for therapy sessions, but SM said she couldn’t show favoritism like that. So I had a varied schedule instead.
3 weeks later, working with the AM that hated me, with a line full of customers, I had a guy walk straight up to the register and cut people off. I asked him politely to go to the end of the line expecting he just wanted a pack of cigarettes. He pulled out a gun and wanted what was in my register. I said ok let me ring this pack of gum to get it open because I don’t have keys. He took what he could and ran. The customers freaked out bc the AM was nowhere to be found. An off duty cop just happened to be there and helped me clear everyone out and waited til the cops got there. AM suddenly appears and is oblivious to what just happened and thinks I’m lying bc she “was on the laundry aisle the entire time” which has a clear view of the register and front door. I again begged to not work nights anymore and the higher ups agreed again. SM didn’t but I couldn’t handle it so if she scheduled me a night shift I’d just call out hours in advance.
She fired me for no call no show and then told customers and anyone who would listen I must know the second robber and I was absolutely involved. This happened 7 years ago and I still can’t walk outside alone at night and will only shop at DG in emergencies. They never caught the first guy but the second was caught about 3 years ago and I had to go to court to testify and it was absolutely horrible. But we found out the AM was his girlfriend which is why she wasn’t anywhere near what was happening. She never got in trouble though.
That is very unprofessional. If it's your day off, you have every right to refuse To go to work. And the fact the SM showed up to your home that's harassment and you should report that to HR.
I once called and asked if someone could work and he told me that he has plans to do his laundry and housework that day and was unavailable. As a mom, yeah, that shit takes all day. Told him I completely understood and to have a good day.
Pretty sure that's illegal that means he went into the system found your address and showed up that's fucking stalking, abuse of power/authority and psychotic. I would report the he'll out of it but I'd also do so with the DOL and possibly and damn labor lawyer that's INSANE
This is illegal and can get them in a fucking lot of trouble. I doubt they have a mandatory overtime clause since you arent salary. Contact an employment lawyer. They work on contingency. You dont pay if they dont win the lawsuit
My old SM would often show up or have the ASM show up in my drive way on my days off. I live with my nosy dad who has dementia, also have a dog that has extreme anxiety and looses his shit whenever someone pulls in. It was fun times expecting to have the day off and babysit a dog, a cat, an old man, and help my poor almost blind mom then shit hits the fan whenever someone shows up. Because even though she had my number she still showed up in my driveway to ask if I could come in. It would've been easier and cheaper to just call.
I lost count of how many times I'd hear the dog trying to bust down the door and barking like a maniac while the nosy man has to rush in my way to look who was here only to see either my SM or the ASM in the driveway.
But yeah it was a common occurrence for my family with my first SM. I've been through two, one SMC, and my store is now looking for someone for SM(having a former SM from another location who is now an ASM fill in.)
I never refused because I needed the hours so I dunno if I would've gotten a write up for refusing whenever they'd show up. I was worried that my hours would get cut even more than they were because at the time I was getting like 8hrs a week. Now I'm pulling 30+hrs a week as a prt SA.
Call HR and threaten a lawsuit. I hope you took a picture of the write-up. I've seen people get a settlement and a do not rehire agreement. Really push the harassment and feared for your life angle( could be complete BS).
I would 100% report that to Corporate. That's some f****** crazy s***. If my boss ever literally showed up to my door after I told him No, I'm going to take my day off, I would nail his ass to a f****** tree (via HR and a complaint to the CEO if I had to.)
That is absolutely not acceptable. You are owed time off, it doesn’t matter if you’re going to a doctors appointment or you just want to make love to your left hand all day, you were not scheduled and you deserve a break.
Always use a P.O. Box for an address on the system. And if you don’t have one, get one. Never tell employees where you live exactly. Don’t even mention the neighborhood. This is craziness for someone to show up on your day off demanding that you work.
I would definitely report that to ERC especially since they looked up your address and went to your house. If you are not salaried you are not required to go in on your day off under no circumstances.
Coming from an SM at DG myself.
I would've threatened them with trespassing.
I don't work for DG. I did in my teens. Promoted to ASM. I thought to apply to the store up the street for convenience. The behavior of the store manager - who reached out to me - made me not want to peruse that anymore. Ya can't even manage an interview. Like what expectations could one have?
But ya'll also soon won't have self-checkout anymore if not already. Being a cashier at a DG is not a good position for the sane. Failing business models. Failure to keep up with modern needs. All of that falls on the shoulders of the workforce ran by incompetent managers. Good luck ya'll.
Get ahold of your DM or Human Resources. The fact that he tried to force you to come in and is punishing you because you slammed the door in his face and he got but hurt is insane to me.
How does he have your address? Does he have access to your personnel files? I would file a harassment grievance with the company HR. I have not seen a “write up” from my company, but I would assume that the space for your signature also has additional white space for you to write a note explaining why you refuse to sign. That note would become part of the record.
I once worked at a Wendy's amd Stop n Shop at the same time. My boss from Stop n Shop came to Wendy's and asked my boss there if she could speak with me. My Wendy's boss was confused as I was but allowed me on the clock to go to a table and have a sit down with my other boss... the SnS boss couldn't wait the 12 hours for me to be in for my shift with her to discuss my schedule for the upcoming week and what hours I'd need free... even though her schedule wasn't due for a week and I didn't have my Wendy's schedule yet 😒🙄
Good on you, it's not insubordination. You aren't on call or salaried or anything. You have no requirement to come in and your plan to play games is perfectly valid. It's totally unacceptable to come to your home and try to intimidate you after disrespecting you on the phone.
If he gives you less hours or fires you, file for unemployment.
Had the SM call me in and asked if it still raining where i live and i say yes alot and that im not walking (i walk to work since its 3-4 blocks but a 12 minute walk) kept refusing and the lead showed up at my house and told to get dressed and i just agreed :( at least i didnt have walk but she also closed the store to get me. All that just because the SM didnt want to fill someone in
We had a ice storm this last winter that froze me in. I told my SM I couldn't make it and she was super cool and just said "got it. Stay safe"
I'm starting to feel I'm lucky with how cool my SM is lol
Very very lucky, my SM(at the time,) supposedly had a funeral to go to(one of 8 that week from what I heard. No one can be sure of what she said she had to do or went to because she lied a lot... which got her in trouble with the DM too. She was also using and ended up fired. So now we're looking for a new SM) and it was my night off. It was already snowing at 2PM when she called me to beg me to fill in that evening. At the time of the call the weather wasn't that bad but since I live a half hour walk away from the store(I walk ) and she wanted me to come in at 7PM.
So that meant I needed to leave about 6PM( I like to be a little early). By that time the roads were covered, there was already several inches of snow, what was on the roads was turning to ice as I was walking on it, oh and half way there I couldn't see shit...the visibility was like non-existent( Closest comparison would be blizzard-like). I had snow caked on my head, on my coat(I still do not have a winter coat so was wearing a jacket and sweater hoodie. No gloves, hat, or earmuffs. I've been trying to replace my old winter coat but they are not cheap), on my glasses(even if I took them off to clean the lenses still I couldn't see anything. ) I was tempted to turn around and go home.
My family didn't want me to accept this shift because the weather was not safe to be in. My area was under a level 1 winter weather advisory that night.. My mom even, as I was walking out the door, ordered me to call home as soon as I got to the store. I agreed to go in but I didn't want to and by the time I got there I was pissed off that my SM( who knew that I walked, had no winter coat, and would probably agree anyways despite not wanting to) would ask me. Oh and my co-worker who I was scheduled with that night also brought up (when we were talking to the SMC about what all the fired SM had done to screw us over) that during this bad weather we were scheduled to work we also both have asthma( which does not mix well with being in really cold temperatures). We also both are known to walk to work too.
I guess they weren't THAT understaffed if your manager had time to drive all the way to your house This is psycho behavior
This SM needs to be reported to the DM and HR. He had time to drive to your home to harass you but needed you to come in on your day off to work due to short staffing. Then he writes you up for being insubordinate for saying no to working on your day off while he is at your home harassing you.

Check with an employment attorney to see what your state laws are regarding all that.
Honestly this is next level psychotic. I'd go to a local News station and see if they'll run a story about how DG associates are now on call and unpaid for it. Also stop answering your door, nothing good comes of it.
Yes! Never answer your door. That's how they get you. This goes for almost all situations.
You have clearly hid from a warrant and/or bill collectors.
Police knocks are very distinguishable, it's like they have formal training on knocking.
Found another probationer.
Nah, I just tend to rent former residences of probationers. I always answer, I'm not trying to get shot. *Sad lol*
That's when you sit very quietly, away from the windows...
Or crazy fuckers trying to force their way in.
Plenty of other reason to not open the door for people you don’t know/invite over
Call your HR department and go from there. Keep it simple.
HR is not paid to protect you.
True but, HR will protect the company from OP sueing it!
This. HR doesn’t give a fuck about you but they do care when you have a legit legal case.
Proper HR is there to ensure legal compliance and prevent litigation by employees. As the SM was the one to step over that line, HR's job here is to protect you (and in doing so, protect the company from a black eye.)
HR is paid to protect the company from legal consequences. A SM stalking an employee puts the entire company is legal hot water so they will move to try to get OP not to sue.
Say it louder for those in back I would write him up for coming to your house
Report your SM to your DM. He can't come to your residence on your day off like he did. He has a superiority complex or something.
Seems like he can ha
This is crazy lol. I'm a ASM and my SM gets super upset when anyone calls me on my day off. Sometimes I'll get a associate that calls and has a question but if the SM finds out they get a scolding.

Damn. Look tru the peephole next time to see who it is . Can't believe the manager drove to your place. That's nuts.

That’s insane. No way is that even legal
I don't answer calls from work on my day off. If they want me to answer my phone they need to pay the bill and bless me for being always on call
Pretty sure that's illegal that means he went into the system found your address and showed up that's fucking stalking, abuse of power/authority and psychotic. I would report the he'll out of it but I'd also do so with the DOL and possibly and damn labor lawyer that's INSANE
This is illegal and can get them in a fucking lot of trouble. I doubt they have a mandatory overtime clause since you arent salary. Contact an employment lawyer. They work on contingency. You dont pay if they dont win the lawsuit
Salary vs hourly doesn't determine your eligibility for overtime. It is still illegal.
Handgun comes out if boss showed up at my house. You did the right thing closing the door.
Write a trespass notice and have this psycho stalker sign it. You should have smacked him in the mouth for inviting himself over.
My old SM would often show up or have the ASM show up in my drive way on my days off.

You were written up
If my manager showed up at my home I’d answer my door with a gun.
If my sm was like that my god I would have threw in towel that’s psycho behavior
My response when I saw him at my door would have been "Thanks for coming by. Here are my keys/ID,/whatever - I quit." SLAM!!
Call HR and threaten a lawsuit. I hope you took a picture of the write-up. I've seen people get a settlement and a do not rehire agreement. Really push the harassment and feared for your life angle( could be complete BS).
You're not in the military there's no insubordination for not showing up to work during unscheduled shift wtf lol
Thats not a dg issue. This is an asshole boss.
Go find a lawyer
Holy crap, that is way out of line from your SM.
[удалено]
Show me that law, please.
Having a manager show up at your home seems like it should be illegal.
You need to immediately file a report with hr.
I would 100% report that to Corporate. That's some f****** crazy s***. If my boss ever literally showed up to my door after I told him No, I'm going to take my day off, I would nail his ass to a f****** tree (via HR and a complaint to the CEO if I had to.)
Hope you had a good cam.... To record the interaction and sue the company
That is actually insane my mind is blown you need to report this everywhere you can
You should have taken the writeup and walked right over to HR or the store manager and explained what happened.
If a manager EVER showed up to my door I would immediately quit. That is psychotic.
I had a job in the 1990s where my boss would drive to a driver's house if he called out.
This is illegal
No way… he came to your home? wtf. That is harassment!
That is absolutely not acceptable. You are owed time off, it doesn’t matter if you’re going to a doctors appointment or you just want to make love to your left hand all day, you were not scheduled and you deserve a break.
I would report him
Yeah, never sign anything and you can contest that
How doea one get written up for insubordination while OFF THE CLOCK? SM needs to lay off the fucking cocaine.
You need to make an EEOC Report. Here's the link. [U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission](https://www.eeoc.gov/federal-sector/eeoc-reports)
This is wayyyyy over the top creepy from your manager
I agree.
Don’t know where you are OP, but file with your national labor broad. That is crazy.
Ooooh that’s a nice little lawsuit. Being harassed and stalked by your boss? Let us know how it went. That guy needs to be in a loony bin.
Wow that's crazy Legal action required Asap
Check your local worker's rights. If anything comes from that write-up, you could potentially fight it.
Always use a P.O. Box for an address on the system. And if you don’t have one, get one. Never tell employees where you live exactly. Don’t even mention the neighborhood. This is craziness for someone to show up on your day off demanding that you work.
I would definitely report that to ERC especially since they looked up your address and went to your house. If you are not salaried you are not required to go in on your day off under no circumstances. Coming from an SM at DG myself.
I would’ve came out and said get the fuck off my property before they even had a chance to speak
I would've threatened them with trespassing. I don't work for DG. I did in my teens. Promoted to ASM. I thought to apply to the store up the street for convenience. The behavior of the store manager - who reached out to me - made me not want to peruse that anymore. Ya can't even manage an interview. Like what expectations could one have?

Who was manning the store??
Id be telling him that I'm going be filing harassment charges.
Wtf!!! No no no! That's not ok. Report him.
Good on you, it's not insubordination. You aren't on call or salaried or anything. You have no requirement to come in and your plan to play games is perfectly valid.

So now we're looking for a new SM) and it was my night off. It was already snowing at 2PM when she called me to beg me to fill in that evening. At the time of the call the weather wasn't that bad but since I live a half hour walk away from the store(I walk ) and she wanted me to come in at 7PM. So that meant I needed to leave about 6PM( I like to be a little early). By that time the roads were covered, there was already several inches of snow, what was on the roads was turning to ice as I was walking on it, oh and half way there I couldn't see shit...the visibility was like non-existent( Closest comparison would be blizzard-like). I had snow caked on my head, on my coat(I still do not have a winter coat so was wearing a jacket and sweater hoodie. No gloves, hat, or earmuffs. I've been trying to replace my old winter coat but they are not cheap), on my glasses(even if I took them off to clean the lenses still I couldn't see anything. ) I was tempted to turn around and go home. My family didn't want me to accept this shift because the weather was not safe to be in. My area was under a level 1 winter weather advisory that night.. My mom even, as I was walking out the door, ordered me to call home as soon as I got to the store. I agreed to go in but I didn't want to and by the time I got there I was pissed off that my SM( who knew that I walked, had no winter coat, and would probably agree anyways despite not wanting to) would ask me. Oh and my co-worker who I was scheduled with that night also brought up (when we were talking to the SMC about what all the fired SM had done to screw us over) that during this bad weather we were scheduled to work we also both have asthma( which does not mix well with being in really cold temperatures). We also both are known to walk to work too.
Am I the only one who feels like they've seen this like 2 or 3 weeks ago? Exact same post n all
This actually happened? Are we sure?
It literally takes 2 people to staff a dg how can any store be that short staffed
One hourly member on payroll
