The second relative (I’ll call him “M”) worked at “X”-Mart in the Auto Services department as a support manager. He was promised by the general store manager a promotion into the manager’s job in Inventory Control department, but the hitch was that he had to transfer for a couple of weeks into a non-management position into Inventory Control. The logic behind this was theoretically that he would learn what the non-management parts of that department was, so he would be a better manager.
This meant a temporary cut in pay, but he was promised that after a couple of weeks of working as non-management, he would get promoted into management, which would be a raise in pay. So, “M” took the “temporary” demotion. Then the store manager that made that promise suddenly quit his job and the new store manager gave the job promised to “M” to another employee transferring into the store from another state. Now “M” was stuck in a non-management job at a lower pay rate and could not go back into the management job he had previously. Then “M” was involved in a bad car accident and was injured. “X”-Mart CLAIMS that they make “reasonable accommodations” for disabled people, but they refused to give “M” any reasonable accommodations for him to return to work, so he ended up having to quit his job completely.
He tells me that the turnover rate at his “X”-Mart is 58%. No wonder!
He was cheated.
