Unfair treatment at work I think?
I’ve been working at Walgreens for 2 years now. To set up the story my general store manager told not just me but all the store employees that we accept any coupon even expire ones; he has been doing this for ever. During the holiday season I was told by him and the manager below him that we are able to use a $5 coupon (a store coupon) to increase store sales and promotional sales. This past week Lost Prevention came into my store. Basically me, another department staff and a manager was grilled to make a confession. So the other staff members were sent home and a manager. A week passed and they were written up. Yesterday my store manager told me to sign a letter. In the letter it stated that I know I did something wrong and that if I do it again I will be fired, it’s my finally warning. I told him I didn’t want to sign the paper and wanted to talk to my brother to ask for advice. He told me just sign, hurry up and this thing will be over. So as a dummy I signed it. My question is this, if he was aware that all the employees not just four of us used that coupon direct by him to increase sales why where we in trouble. Not him, everyone else in the store. I feel as I was picked on.
Throughout Christmas time I work 9 days straight and working nights and mornings with less than 8hrs of rest and that isn’t illegal. I dont even take breaks or lunch. I feel as I am loyal employee who part of a group scapegoat.

Top, regional management suspiciously understands the relationship between store managers and their most trusted employees. It's Business 101. You work long, loyal hours for the store manager, not Walgreen's as a company. You must separate your supervisor from the company he (and you) works for. If corporate has a certain policy, they'd make sure it was in the manual. No company disregards its coupon's expiration date, or why print it on the coupon. Your boss used those out of date coupons to expand his store's sales. He got caught, and so did you. Let it go. You were treated fairly. Internal usually would fire a long-term employee for such abuse, to set an example.

Your manager was trying to cover his own *** and the employees were the fall guys. You shouldn't have signed it, by doing so it was an admission of guilt. Provided you can get statements from other employees, bring the issue up to the HR office at corporate. There is power in numbers.

well u shouldn't have signed it........and u should have told the loss prevention ppl the truth.......basically by getting u and the other workers to sign the paper the manger gets his cake and eats it too.....
he gets the increased sales numbers which translate directly into cash bonuses...... and also has no liability in the manner in which he obtained those numbers....
i would tell u to call ur corporate office and tell them the truth ....but u will most likely b fired at this point if u do this.....
i would suggest calling the anonymous tip line and seeing what advice they give u....
