It's so inconsistent about standards. Things that are "no big deal" for a one-time error, like showing up to the wrong store after call-outs and constant reshuffles of schedules, suddenly show up in warnings, while people who are consistently late or don't show continue to get by with no accountability. Favoritism impacts who is promoted, and who is believed. I should never have had to also be a therapist as a store lead for a paltry $15-$17 an hour, but somehow that's part of "development" is dealing with people's unresolved traumas. Somehow "development" is helping people solve burnout. I kept being passed up for promotions for very nitpicky reasons, when others who were favorites were promoted in months only to be fired for unethical practices and harm to employees.
I felt lied to about work/life balance when I was asked to have a full 7 day availability or else I couldn't stay on, when others in my position were given lots of flexibility and leeway due to preferences when my unavailability on one *half day* a week was being seen with greater scrutiny.
