Terrible Management Attitudes; bad social distancing. - Replay Operator GEODIS Employee Review

No notice at all for mandatory overtime. We are told Friday morning if we are required to work Saturday, after already working 48 hours that week! No respect for employees’ lives, or work/life balance. I was hired 7-3;30. In over a month I worked 2 days on that schedule, and was immediately required to start at 6 am the rest of the time, with have the days being 8, and the other half being 10 hours, but they don’t tell you that until the day of! Bad safety regulations: no safety training around forklifts, react trucks carry palettes on top of palettes. No regulation for how close to stand to a reach truck (or any heavy equipment). No regulations regarding how to to stand on the other side of an isle when forks are in the air. Constantly running out if hand sanitizer (which, is not posted outside the bathrooms). Lines are very liberally regulated, with people standing within 2 feet of each other, because there isn’t enough space to spread out to click in and out, because they won’t install more time clocks, or move the three they have inside the building past the metal detectors. Constantly running out of plastic gloves. Have chairs for replay, wrong height for the tables we work at, cause severe and immediate back pain. Not allowed to adjust seat height or table height. A doctor’s note is not a good enough excuse for an absence. Management does not ask your name or (most of them) how you are, or introduce themselves to you, like they should. No training on how to use their time clocks, so other employees stand right behind the new people to show them. Was told my badge wouldn’t work to clock in for at least a week, had to tell a manager I was there and rely on them for recording my hours. This company screwed me out of 10 hours of overtime this way. Thought my badge was broken. Manager *finally* showed me how to clock in. There’s an extra step to clock in there. Even a manager had her mask below her nose at a meeting. Too few bathrooms, that are always dirty. Break room is too small for the number of people who are on a break at the same time. COVID 19 will shut this place down as soon as even one person is affected. That or OSHA. No way to leave anonymous feedback. Safety committee doesn’t have a way to offer advice...not that they seem to be useful for anything. So many unsafe things happen at Geodis!
