I had worked for Dollar General ( second time) since Sept. 2004 to Aug 2010.
I have worked anywhere from 45 to 80 hours a week – 12 to 15 hours a day – and was let go as soon as got a new store and didn’t get the stock room empty of freight in 24 hours – with no increase in hours and short on employees — I have documented hours worked and hours store used – every week for the last six years .

I was a store manager for Dollar General for nearly 3 years. I was injured on the job, four disc’s in my neck damaged from moving boxes of books to be checked in. I worked over a month with out an asst. manager or a keyholder. One I was instructed to terminate, one quit. I was in the process of training a new hire for the Asst. job and hiring a keyholder. I had no one that was promotable, mostly due to the amount of hours we offered and the wage.
I asked many times for help from my Dm and Rgm, everytime told,’if this was another time we could get you help, but we have corporate visits comeing and store remodels going on so we can’t help you.’ One store in my area had 5 managers, it was a training store, and another had 4, but they could not see to get me any help. I had to work against my restrictions, however that time, I made the largest bonus possible for sales increases and my customer connection numbers increased as well.
My Dr. took me off work for 2 weeks, the Human Resources person for the company wanted me off for 2 months, her name, Vicky Harmess. My Dr. and I talked about it, neither of us thinking it was that big of an issue and would resolve with rest over the 2 weeks. I went back to work, and was terminated 3 days in. For lack of productivity. You see we have 16 feet of charts in the backroom, customers do not see this. I had failed to fill in all the charts before I went on workmans comp leave and this was the reason I was givin for being terminated. No, thats amazing on your sales increase or making the customer happy dispite my injury, I kept going with a smile and cheerful greeting for all my customers. I was a dedicated Dollar general Store Manager. I still, 6 months later , can not believe they terminated me and I am having a hard time finding an attorney to take my case. I am injured for life, with less than a 50% chance surgery will even help, if not make me worse off. I can not find a job, no other company wants to risk it with a ‘damaged good’ ( one attorney called me this) from Dollar General. I really don’t know what i am suppose to do for a living with very little income and that will soon run out. DG , you see, their DR. states there is nothing wrong with me. Even after the MRI and Emg, they required shows the damage.
There need to be a class action lawsuit against DG for this reason, there are many of us with similar stories out here.
Lost and not sure what to do in Michigan.

Yeah, I can relate to working 80 + hrs. a week at DG with no overtime pay. That was the worst imaginable job in the world. You break your back and work like a horse 7 days a week for much less than what your employees make. Oh, there were other things that went on that I won’t go in to. It is definately a man’s world and they stick together!

Everyone would like to know what is happening with this lawsuit

what is going on with this lawsuit? It has been many years since it began.

I was a Store Manager from 9-4-10 to 10-14-11. I also put in 80 to 100 hours per week.
I went to a managers meeting and it was told that managers had to work by themselves if needed so the store would not go over hours….In the Dollar General SOP it states that there is to always be at least 2 people in the store at all times. I was told being on salary meant you would have to work by yourself..I told them I wouldn’t do it..that was a safety issue. I was told Dollar General wanted small minds and strong backs. That didn’t set well with me and I quit a few months later. Because of Dollar General I missed most of my child’s senior year of soccer and activities because I had to work….I worked 31 straight hours to get my store ready for Inventory….When I left I NEVER got a call or seen my DM…I had my Asst. Manager count the safe and gave her the keys..
Policy doesn’t apply to all only certain people. The company is terrible to work for. I will never go back and I won’t recommend anyone to work there.

I am another hurt manager , after 3 years of working between 80 to 95.5 hours a week and with dedication and had only 4 days off last year after i fired my asst and key holder for sliding and also since may last year going through another 5 assist. and 4 key holders i finally ended up being forced to resign as smb. else can take my place. I filled hurt and so so exhausted with not having a vacation for 2 and half years . I felt ashame for working for this company who keep telling that care of people and stand for people. I wonder which people?According to them the policies are not applied the same for all employees. The reason they made me to resign is that one day i just could not work the truck and i was so sick couldn’t stay on my feet so i stored use at 6 am a DG peptobismol of $2 and i made sute before i used it to scan and put the nr on the bottle and kept in with other medicines in the box for all employees in case of emergency if smb is sick . I came from Illinois with transfer in michigan and overthere we used store used pain relevier and this kind of medicine. I guess policies are not the same everywhere in this company. I had big goals to go in loss Prevention but all my ”wings ” where cut off as of the new LP guy who just took over the Region and came down to embaresed me and tried to make me confess i planned to do that . Today was my last day there and i would like to find a lawer and sstand up for my rights. Also i just got the letter of our Regional stating that my store is #1 in the company of Outs of stock -i had 84 on my inventory in febr. 2012 . What can i say more ? I just want justice. Michelle

I would like to join as well . Myself and my wife worked as Store Managers .I was a store manager for Dollar General from 4/12/2004 until 3/15/2012 and my wife worked as Store Manager for Dollar General from 1997 until 05-2012 we have worked anywhere from 55 to 85 hours a week – 12 to 15 hours a day. I was the janitor,cashier, stocker,manager and lawn care service. I also called HR about other incidents we had with the District Manger and HR would give us the run around. It’s pretty sad when a giant retailer like Dollar general is involved in the Literacy Program and does not here you or listen to you. It seems like we were a nobody at store level ( Just A Number ). All the company was worried about was Cut Payroll and Bottom Line ( Make More Money ) for Dollar General. We had to seek other employment because of all the commotion and retaliation that was going within the company.
Thanks
