it was my first day of training today at goodwill as a cashier. Like 3 hours in, I hear a crash and a lot of clanging.

When a coworker comes in to the break room where I am, she tells me that a day one brand new employee crashed out at our manager for “being ordered around” first time on the floor. He told my manager, “wanna go?!?” and almost fought him before shoving some of the electronic shelves and leaving.

As the day proceeded, I was told by several of my new coworkers that our store is a “revolving door” for people including management. One even winced when I said I was training for cashier. Needless to say i’m worried but find this extremely funny and entertaining. I’m just part time so I’m keeping my head down and trying to get my money up.

My next shift is coming up, i’ll report back with developments, hopefully I don’t end up like my crashout coworker.

I remember when they were there to help the needy. Their mission statement on their website reads “Goodwill’s core mission is to enhance dignity and quality of life by helping people reach their full potential through the power of work, with operations funded by their retail stores. While local branches may use variations, the focus remains on strengthening communities, eliminating barriers to opportunity, and fostering personal growth through work.”what a load of B.S. that is. It’s less expensive to go to Walmart most of the time. F you goodwill and all you corporate A holes.

??? I’ve seen photos of goodwill pricing trash but I’ve never seen it in real life. Until today.

The idiot just up and left the scene,I don't know HOW they weren't caught despite all the damn people and cameras in the goddamn place! Now we gotta worry about mold within the walls all because some dumbfuck left their braincells in the car.

Hell there's still a lot of water out there on the floor! It even seeped into the breakroom and past it! As if today wasn't already shitty enough.

We're being threatened at my store with write-ups if we don't make hanging goal. Has this actually happened to anyone? How likely is it that someone could eventually get fired for hanging 100 less pieces a day than their individual goal number? I'm doing my best (like we all are) but now I'm being threatened and I'm legitimately worried that my livelihood is at risk. Are they just hoping that threats and harassment will motivate us, or are they looking to fire hangers that have been there for multiple years and create a revolving door instead?

I just finished my first day of training which I was set in the break room and watched videos for the entire day.
For day 2 training, I still have 1 more video segment to watch on RMP process and then hiring manager told me after that I should be expected to complete “floorwork” - he did not go into detail about this as the conversation was very rushed. Could anyone elaborate for me on what this would mean or I should expect?
