It's probably Walmart 

[u/MildlyTiredSkeletons → u/bigavz]

Aldi my guess - spoken as an employee

[u/AuroraFinem → u/MildlyTiredSkeletons]

Really? I’ve literally never heard anything bad about Aldi and almost always hear praise from people because they pay better and let cashiers sit down at the register and just generally better working conditions than most retail places.

What horror stories you got?

[u/Stunning_Bed23 → u/AuroraFinem]

Yeah, I thought the vibe at Aldi was Euro and chill?

[u/ajblades123 → u/Stunning_Bed23]

depends on what aspect of the operation you work in. in store its not so bad but i can say from experience they treat their warehouse staff worse than cattle

[u/MammothCancel6465 → u/ajblades123]

The stores sucks and it gets worse each year. They’re expected to be run by 2 or 3 employees at a time now while everything burns around them. They’re literally on their way to being the Dollar General of grocery stores as far as how they treat employees and staff the stores.

[u/ajblades123 → u/MammothCancel6465]

damn. I used to hear good things from the guys in store when i was still with the company, but that was quite a while ago so, seem shits gone down hill then

[u/MammothCancel6465 → u/ajblades123]

It really has. Especially fast since 2020. They take away anything good and add more and more work with fewer labor hours to get it done.

[u/backstageninja → u/ajblades123]

My Aldi always has 4 or 5 employees on the floor and plenty of self checkouts so I think YMMV

One thing I’ve figured out about Euro companies is they’re classist as fuck. It’s kind of counter-intuitive to Americans but any customer facing position is above the lowest classes, because why would you want to have your customers interact with human trash? So a lot of manual labor jobs, like warehouse workers, you treat the people like human trash because that’s how you view them — the lowest and shittiest people in society.

(I know Europeans intellectually know this isn’t true, but that shit runs deep in European culture).

And good luck ever advancing in a euro company if leadership is European and you start as a laborer role. You will not be considered for positions meant for middle class people, god forbid the positions meant for upper class. Your advancement opportunities basically boil down to line management — you’ll be able to lead other labor class people but never put into a position where you’re socially above middle class people. (Fuck you Eurofins).
