TJMaxx in Williamsport PA means Terrible Job to the Maxx! Written by themanagerwhistleblower on 12/20/2011 As an assistant manager at a TJMaxx store in Williamsport PA I am ashamed at how the other managers mistreat the crew here. The lies being told by the other "so called" managers are so rampant it is criminal. The gossip here is unbearalbe. Anorther thing I see all too much employess checks being ripped of by a little "game" that's played, and when emplyees complain about their checks being wrong eother from post scheduling change or flat out theft they are treated like idiots as if they screwed up their schedules and adding their hours up. Of course it wasn't due to a mansger "ripping them off"and then the cover up and we gotcha mentality begins. By the way one manager has a foot fetish who I found out sexually harassed two girls, but they settled out of court. Another manager from Pittsburgh is on his second marriage, is a big bullcrapper, and flirts to the point of sexual harassment. I wish he'd make up his mind whether to wear his stupid beard or not! Plus he "never" listens to our supervisors about anything regarding employee complaints. One manager who's a lesbian hates men, and constantly flips her courk when someone simply calls in sick especially a man. Another manager here is homosexual and very wacky to say the least. the managenment here are more corrupt than the crap in the news about customers getting their gift cards ripped off, but no doubt there is a TJMaxx pattern to ripping employees off and cleary customers.Good luck this Christmas if you get a gift card at any TJMAXX! Anyway, I'm not sure who to talk to, and it will no doubt be a legal mess for me here at TJMaxx, but I have had it. This place is a joke, and anyone reading this working at this TJMaxx if not all of them is tolerating childish assalts from managers who think they are Gods. By the way,no one has worked here more than 4 years and this store has been around for ten, because of the "games" these 3rd rate managers pull on good employees who just want a job. After a few years employees are discredited so they cannot get a good employment package like better insurance. Plus the quarter raises add up an the corporation frowns on employees who are getting a big hourly wage. Get rid of those who excel who are close to 5 years of employent is the unspoken rule here at "all" TJMaxx, Marshalls, and Homegoods stores. Most former employess fight these crooks out with the unemployment referee, some win, but those that lose find out their personal employment file has been played with to discredit them. Like excessive absnse they new nothing about, tardyness, fabricated customer complaints, infractions with certain managers etc etc.
Well, the bottom line is this is not a good place to work what so ever! I'm fed up with it here. Good luck if you shop for the thrift shop junk that's here too.
Very sincerely to all those who need a good job,

The reality is that retail outlets or other type of mid-scale jobs seldom requires its’ personnel or new hires to have any training at all in the soft skills that support management rolls. Too often, the sole requirement is that they’ve simply held other management positions in the past and it is quite possible that even those positions didn’t ask about the soft skills. So these people have luckily been able to acquire a history of management rolls to tack on to their resumes without ever having actually been trained to be an effective manager, a leader. Instead, you’re dealing with ‘teenager’ mentalities in grown adults, your dealing with poor negotiation skills, little or no performance management skills, and the maturity levels of pubescent school boys- behaviors are never effectively addressed because their managers are also in the same boat, bunch of idiots. The only way to deal with this type of environment is to learn to “mange your manager”. You don’t need to physically be a manager in order to acquire management skills. If you yourself learn to performance manage, effectively negotiate, and deal with the difficult personalities, you will equip yourself how to deal with your mangers and ‘handle’ them. You will have the leg up, knowledge is your power- they are so stupid, they won’t even know they’re being handled. We all know that documenting doesn’t work in all environments, that only works when you have a well established, effective and competent HR that follows the rules and supports it’s employees and if you have enough money to pursue legal recourse. Otherwise you need to learn how to navigate this environment or leave it. Those are your only two choices.
