Protect the company first. Employees Second
If the DHRM don’t like you they will railroad you and any issues that you bring to them will be sweep under the Rug even if it’s a major violation like Time thief . SM sleeping with their hourly associates so they can get promoted. ASM not following the Burglar Procedures. And this things that I’m writing here is not a story telling it’s a fact and have trends of emails , accompanied by dates and pictures. This people who has a major violation still employed with the company. But for one private message that took place on my day off and also an answer to a question was used against me .
