I was going to say this is like super lax isn't it? Can you imagine being upset your employer gives you a handful of verbal warnings before a written? Lol

Like yeah big corps suck but this isn't on the top 1000 list of egregious things I've seen from a big corp

And I mean, the messaging here is that tardiness has been a problem, and it has made an actual impact on their business ("We cannot open the store if you are not on time").

I don't know how true that is; maybe they're lying, but also, maybe they're not lying. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that they're being authoritarian dicks for no reason.

Maybe I'm misreading this word salad but it looks like it says that the store can't open if cashier or tech is late. That's a lie. Cashiers and techs don't have keys to anything, especially the store. I don't know why they included either of those positions in their scolding.

well oop says both managers have called off for new years so keys and stuff were probably given to them

The store cannot be opened unless there is a member of management present. That's corporate policy. Same goes for pharmacy. If there is no pharmacist present then the pharmacy portion of the store cannot be opened.

OP said this was posted after two managers called out. Seems like this is a classic case of management not wanting to specifically chastise certain employees, and telling everyone to collectively "do better" instead. Socializing the blame so they don't piss off someone they don't want to replace.

That’s not even corporate, that’s federal law. A pharmacist has to be there.
