Part-Timer Grocery Shopper
I’ve worked as a Part-Timer for couple of months now. The job is very interesting, all you have to to is to shop for the online shoppers. I do enjoyed it very much.
There’s a lot of youngsters, maybe to earn extra pocket money as expenses in Singapore keep on increasing. Same goes to me, I need to keep up with the rising expenses as a single mom.
Duty manager doesn’t treat us with respect
The sad this about this job is, we are treated kinda badly by the DM. He literally shouted and scream at a very small matter every single time infront of everyone without thinking how embarrassing it would be.
We Part-Timers are there to ease the workload and help to achieve the daily orders or target and why are we being treated like a piece of S***.
DM should come to us let us know our mistake and deal with us personally rather that screaming on top of their lung from across the room. Can you imagine our feelings?
I’m more concerned of the youngsters as they are not used to being treated that way. As for us adults with years of working experience, we can simply take in whatever behaviour just to earn some money. I thought Singapore is moving into a society where we respect and help each other in any ways.
I really hope all this work place torment and inappropriate behaviour by the DM to be stopped.
Please advise on how to look into this matter so as we Part-Timers can earn a decent living.
Pardon my English as well as I grew up in a mandarin speaking family.
Here are what netizens think
- Send an anonymous email to the company and complain about the DM’s behaviour. Some companies may have ethical policies which should include respecting coworkers.
- This kind of job is a dime a dozen. Don’t like this DM, just mass quit and jump ship. No need to stay and take his s***
- Look for another source of income. The only option to your problem
