They didn’t tell me the “season” at the Crossroads Cary, NC location ended 3 weeks before “mid-January”, which is when I was told the season was ending upon signing up for a seasonal role. The store manager “Rubi” asked me three days before I was let go to just “let them know if I intended to stay on during the semester, or not”, to which I immediately and emphatically said that I absolutely intended and wanted to stay on.
Three days later, I was told that that day was my last day- given zero days notice that my job was gone three weeks prior to the standard “end of season” date that was agreed upon.
I was told it was a “company-wide” policy because if they give any notice to employees at all, then the employees will come in and just slack off until their last day.
I was told that at Five Below, they really take care of their people-
That behavior is what a total lack of regard towards part time employees looks like. If they were taking care of me, they would’ve given me time to find a job, and they wouldn’t have made misleading statements to keep me hanging in limbo literally hours before (Sunday) the schedule for the following week was released (Monday), that I wasn’t on, which I noticed on Wednesday- and they wouldn’t tell me why I wasn’t given any shifts until my shift on Thursday.
