Call out

I’m sorry just gotta rant, how does a doctors note not clear a call out, I’ve never worked at a place that didn’t excuse that with a doctors note, I’m literally throwing up but nope still gotta come into work. And six call outs a year only? Seriously? Makes no sense to me!

Credit cards

I need to know if this is a thing amongst all lowes if it’s just my Lowe’s that’s insane, they push credit cards so hard and are on you about it, I was not told when I took the job as a pro cashier that my job placement depended on credit card sales, I never would have taken the job if I had known.

They moved me from pro to customer service because my performance wasn’t good enough but even there they are on you about DIY cards. You could get a huge sale for the store $19,000 worth, tell them and all they ask is if you got a credit card to. They encourage bribing as well. My coworker offers people 50% off lumber if you try to get a credit card, which management knows. Or he promises they get 20% off their whole order even if they don’t qualify.

Now they want me to tell people doing returns, that if it needs a manager override that my manager would be willing to do it if they sign up for a credit card, or if I can’t find their return I can push it through if they sign up for a credit card, or they should sign up to get a year of returns .

Again never would have taken the job if I had known how much this job depends on credit card sales. But I’m sorry based on training none of this is okay and we even just had the district manager here and he said we shouldn’t even have to push the cards, they sell themselves. Idk what to do, I don’t want to lose my job over not getting credit card sales but I don’t want to push the way they want me to, any advice
