Dollar General Workers EXPOSE CEO's Lies
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2022
- As Dollar General’s CEO boasted to shareholders about how much the company values its employees, workers were shut out from the meeting. Now workers are exposing the CEO’s lies. They say they can’t afford to pay bills and often face violent crime like armed robbery on the job.

Bro every time I go to one of these stores it’s always 7 registers and one cashier fighting for their life in the front.
Same,Walmart Jr.
It is the same here in the Chicago area.
Let’s unionize
@@amybrown3307 as a union member I agree
Love the CEO boasting about "competitive pay" aka "least amount of pay possible" and the complete obliviousness that literally everyone everywhere knows that.
Competitive pay is absolutely delusional, when grocery store entry level positions pay more...
Retail workers are essential* workers.
*Meaning, they will work you really hard and pay you as little as possible.
They need to do a general walkout,in order to wake these people up.
They literally did one in my town yesterday 3 locations here in Kentucky
They don’t care!! I been here since 2011, they don’t do anything expect the state and Federal minimum mandates! That’s why I would go through 20 employees every year.
Dollar General limits work so bad it's already similar to a walkout. They don't care. They'll just replace who they need to and get one or two people working it every day. I don't know how they aren't hemorrhaging money; my guess is that we're subsidizing it somehow.
When I worked there, I had to run the register and stock at the same time. It's bullshit because you can't do both and stick to policy or do both effectively, yet the manager will tell you to do it anyway so that at least some stocking will get done. My manager wanted to give out more hours to stockers, but wasn't allowed those hours ever. The manager also spent a ton of time stocking, since it was just them and one other person there most of the time.
This was years ago, and judging by what I've heard from family and friends that might go to a DG for something, it's actually gotten worse in my area. They've closed in a few places for a new one to be opened and built somewhere close to both, yet most of the stocking doesn't even get done now; most products are still on the cart how it came off the truck.
I can only feel that they're doing something shady in this area, because I can't see how they'd make any money doing business this way. Either that or they somehow got state incentives that negate the loss somehow. I don't see them taking money they make elsewhere to keep these stores that can't get shelves stocked and product sold floating like they are.
*_Unionize ALL corporations!!!_*
We’re behind the WORKERS!!
Isn't it incredible all of these companies have CEOs that are filthy rich.
So the CEO has the same level of responsibility as the entry level worker is what you’re saying?
@@stangboy041376what does that have to do with my statement. If you're defending the collapse of working class america by responsibilities idk what to tell you.
@@johnsee7360 How much do you expect a CEO to earn? He/she is in charge of a multi billion dollar company
I was an AM at a dollar Gen, majority of their stores in my state are located in areas that aren’t safe, the pay is terrible, when we have a full staff we are still short handed, benefits are pretty much nonexistent, and the condition of the stores aren’t safe for employees and customers because of merchandise being placed on the floor. I left because I needed better pay and better benefits, because in this job the only reward for a job well done is more work.
Amen!! I am a manager at a DG in Alabama and I feel the same way. Plus they have unrealistic expectations when it comes to the amount of work they expect from their managers whom they pay salary and should pay them hourly wages, if they paid their managers HOURLY wages and gave their managers plenty of hours to use for staffing and actually paid ALL EMPLOYEES competitive wages, then it would be a better work environment to work in.
@@amybrown3307 And now they even fire the store manager over little things their employees (or customers) do. We have to post a sign encouraging customers to report fire violations to corporate. In my store it's the customers who keep leaving carts in front of the fire extinguisher (which is ironically right in front of the sign).
Dollar General is definitely the worst place I could’ve ever worked at. This places had me stressed out for so little pay. Unprofessional, unorganized so much work with only two people per shift. I worked so hard, we had no manger for a month we had to handle stuff that wasn’t for our position. This store is definitely disgusting it’s overpacked in the back-stock. Barley can walk through some aisle dusty dead bugs and every aisle is unorganized and messy. People steal everyday. We can’t work overtime or get extra help to get things done. No DM cares nothing. Located in Texas. This is no place you’ll like to work at.
You literally just described the current DG I work at now and the DG I transferred from in another state along with a handful of stores I've helped out at in each state. As I'm reading your comment I start envisioning my store. Same exact thing. Oh and don't even get me started on the pinpads that dont work, the HHTs that are pieces of crap, the registers that randomly decide to restart themselves. Even our equipment is overworked!
same thing same conditions jackson mich.
Northern NY state here, and the DG stores near me are pretty much the same. And that’s just my observations as a customer. The one in my town has always had merchandise strewn everywhere and bare minimum staffing in the entire 15 years it’s been open. The place seems to have a new manager every 6 months or so, I’ve never seen anyone working there for longer than a year to 18 months.
How sick. How can those CEOs sleep at night.
Easily. They can afford good mattresses.
Lamborghinis talk.
Mansions talk.
Because they are evil and have no conscience.
Because they live extravagant lives completely cut off from the people they employ they have literal servants and chefs..
Same way a criminal kills. These are criminals and cartel like people with a suit
This is an identical mirror image to Dollar Tree. Low wages, low payroll hours, high theft, dangerous work environment, corporate apathy, and yet and an expectation for those working in the stores to go above and beyond. How can I go above and beyond when I'm trapped at the register with one other cashier? 🤣🤣🤣
Greed rules in the USA
Its tainted my friend.
Why do they build in rural towns? Its because they want the upper hand. Because we dont have options elsewhere. It makes me sick listening to the CEO.
Ha! Significant changes in wages!! Such BS! I just quit...walked out today praise God. Its labor abuse!
Companies wonder why no one wants to work at a certain companies. They don't pay.
True that, they should offer pay raises or at least more hours
@@JasonNZ42 well how is the CEO and Shareholders make millions of dollars if they don’t exploit there workers?
@@user-lu6yg3vk9z greed, pure and simple. Unfortunately people who have to save money, and people don't know or care about the exploitation keep it continuing. It's a vicious cycle
Big Thank You 🙏 to Rev. Barber and the DOLLAR GENERAL WORKERS!!! 🥊🔥🥊🔥🥊
United We Bargain, Divided We Beg
Sounds like what I had to deal with at 7-Eleven and Circle K.
All CEO are like that they lie
a great example of why any multibillion company needs to have a union
the dollar generals i went to have looked like warzone, like somebody looted them
i thought their employees were lazy....this was an eye opener
Employer’s need to pay enough to help absorb inflation. I’m a DINK and my whole check goes to mortgage. Energy is more expensive. Natural gas is up 300% cannot afford a used car and the list goes on. I’m glad I don’t have children. I’ve gotten 3 raises of just one dollar. Wow Employer’s they can’t do math.
They can do the math. What people don’t understand the only primary focus is bring profit to the shareholders not to benefit the employees.
Workers deserve to have the same beautiful homes that the rich people have and beautiful things
"Doller general worker's make less than $15/hr"... i have a 2 yr degree in welding and applied science and my first welding job was $12/hr, what dollar general is doing is exactly why boeing is in the position they're in. Long story short CEO'S need to gtfo across the board and across all industries
I'm going to start speaking to the workers. I want to hear their stories. Furthermore, I'll share this with them. If this is what is truly going on, then every last Dollar General Worker deserves better than this. And lastly, I encourage everybody else to do the same.
That is correct. Being a cashier does not entitle you to the same wage a registered nurse or teacher earns. I couldnt live on my salary alone even after 28 years in book keeping and secretarial work but I didn't expect to.
I worked 2 days & left - it’s physically & completely impossible to do all the tasks on your shift
Nah you're just lazy as fuck lol 2 days 😂😂😂
But yall want to help them put their penny items away from us to stop buying them. And they not hardly paying yall nothing.
Vasos needs to BE REPLACED BY THE WORKERS OWNING THAT BUSINESS.
Then Vasos needs to have his wealth reasonably distributed amongst those workers.
Then he can help unbox and straighten out the mess he made to begin with.
Go Union! Go Union! Go Union!
That would simply shut the store down and restar my somewhere else.
The store down the street from me always has inventory carts full of inventory in all the isles. You can't even get to the merchandise, what merchandise there is because the shelves are mostly empty. It's the most horrible thing ever.
All people have to do is to STOP shopping at Dollar General. I had a bad experience 2 days ago and I will never shop there again.
Supply and demand, if people stop accepting lower wages, and don’t work in these places, those places have no option but to raise or lose their establishment
How do you tell when Todd Vassos is lying his mouth is moving.
He eats lobster and caviar and his workers can't even afford McDonald's The pitch forks are coming for you Todd.
Fantastic! Keep it up. Let them know how they are treating people. The stores are a mess and need more employees to keep the stores looking like to want to come in.
The juxtaposition of the lying CEO with the facts is satisfying. It’s not just dollar store either. Corporate greed has eliminated the middle class.
Got pictures and fired for not having enough staff and freight. 4yrs and juat because a manager in September and worked 80 plus hours
Todd Vasos try working for 9 bucks an hour for one month. Please come back and give us a TRUE update.
Wow McDonald's starts at $14 an hour
Dollar general workers, stay strong! I know all to well working there for 8years. Sad!! I started 2011 right when they started to explode in sales and new store everywhere…. I had to quit three times just to finally come back and get my pay up to 55,000 a year. When I first started at as a store manager they only paid me 29,000! You can only get a 4% raise (Max)
Any updates on this story?
Side note: I searched up Dollar General after seeing it listed as #13 on XLP Staples ETF.
This is the ABSOLUTE WORST place I have ever encountered to work at! It's truly horrible. They just don't care. They just don't care!
You honestly have no clue how bad it is. They dont care.
Dollar general you should be ashamed
I quit Dollar General, 15 days ago. No, I didn't give a 2 weeks notice. I was worn out. I was a part time key holder. I had been working full time hours for 7 months, with no benefits. I had worked 9 days straight that a full time key received vacation time.
They still haven't paid me my last check, either. And, they took away my wonderful .25 cent bonus for working there for a year. They watch the videos on Wednesday, every week to make sure our voids, overrides, cancelling an entire transaction is done properly. They tell you that 80 percent of shrink is due to employee theft, which is a lie. Shrink is due to the customer's who steal, every day.
@@carolynhester537 I specifically remember hearing that crap about shrink. I told my manager that whoever really thinks that can go to hell already.
keeping slavery alive USA
Wow! This is horrible. I pray for all the employees 🙏🏼 🙌🏼
Make no mistake no retail company care about their rank and file. These shareholders watch these videos and they could literally care less. You need better representation because knocking on a door and claiming they’re scared will get you nowhere.
Dollar general kills people, june 2022 jonesboro ark semi driver for dollar general runs stop sign on back road, racing to his next delivery. Killed a man driving to work , hit 2 more cars. No fine, no charges, not even we're sorry to his wife. All to save 15 mins. To his next drop
These CEO’s are certifiable Sociopaths. That’s one of the qualities that the stock holders admire. The best of luck to these employees. I hope that they get a substantial raise to ease their financial stress
Welcome to corporate America. It’s that way and every corporation shareholders make billions all the people who run the business make nothing.
Just look at Sri Lanka.
Just get another job...f em'
It’s terrible.
This is sick!!
My nephew was robbed at gunpoint in a DG.As well as the 2 employees that was there.
I support y'all!!
Don’t think anything changed. I only see 1 employee running the store trying to stock and tuning the cash register. How do they use the bathroom? Boxes everywhere. Sad. New respect to them.
Todd Vasos just 💩ing out of his mouth in that recording of a shareholder meeting
It's true!! Overworked, underpaid, only 1 employee in the store at all hours
Shareholders live nicely because they invested their money and were not idiots with it. Typical a bunch of poors are mad at success they never understood.
Thank you, MPU.
LEFT ALONE FOR UP TO 5 HRS, PEOPLE WALK OUT WITH CARTS FULL. OVER WORKED UNDER PAID, NO NE LISTENS ALWAYS NES FACES
The CEO is pathetic, all he is thinking about is his bottom line, customers should boycott until the employees are heard and paid accordingly. Somehow they have managed to position themselves in places where customers must go to them or else, but we the customer can cut that bottom line!
I got papers that shows how the DM told the mgr to take our breaks away if we didn't get one
I just quit Saturday night. Minimum Wage here in Florida atm is 11/hr. After 5 years, I was ONLY making 11.75.
Psychedelic Water Store
By our people he means the rich people , and by competitive wages he means stifled and fixed wages, OK a 25 cent wage increase is not a wage increase is a joke. What a joke.
Dollar general give a manager 120 hours to work their employees! They do not realize they can’t staff a store and the manager is expected to be 7 days a week 120 hours for two shift at 7 days per week! That less then a 10 hours in employee all day! A 14 hour day
Put ceo in that position and watch what happens
Ceo what a crock
Well they differently eat
Greed and no standards for this scamming ceo wantabe
I think everyone that works at Dollar general should just leave because then they would close down and the CEO would be begging people to come back and probably actually want to pay them $15 an hour or more. Because it's not about what job you have that pays well it's about how hard you work but most companies pay hourly regardless of how hard you work because they think you're not doing your job well enough that's why they don't pay well or why they want to give you a raise
I'm not so sure they'd pay more. Our manager never could get more hours on the payroll to get stock put out before the next truck. If they wont do that now, they won't pay more for less later. They'll get crafty and make money on a deal somehow, but they will not pay more.
Should’ve broke down the damn door. Tell ‘em you mean business.
Dollar General must be doing something right, they wouldn't be around if nobody was willing to work there or shop there. Your never gonna get a raise when your willing to work for nothing.
My lady worked at dollar general just as a part time job and I must say they are paid like crap 8 bucks doesn't make any sense
It makes sense it’s about the bottom line. The primary focus for companies is bring value to shareholders.
It’s an entry level job dawg not an actual career tf are you expecting?
What they hell is competitive wages 🤔 🤔
It means pay the least amount of money for market rate for the area.
CEO lies...Jesus referred to them as moneychangers
I would not show up but find a job first
Good luck 👍 DG is the most greedy slave drivers
I drove a truck for dollar general it sucked...
How bought finish highscoll get a drivers licens get a job save up go to community college and quit doing criminal acts and then you would have a better job
Competitive wages lol 😂
$8 lol 😂
Use mistakenly in your message at “shareholders”… Most of whom are just ordinary folk… Your message needs to be aimed at executives for Dollar General, not shareholders
Individual stakeholders 7.69%
Mutual fund holders 52.49%
Other institutional 40.75%
When you mean regular folks, you mean "people" like JP Morgan or Vanguard group?
@@Lobos222 majority of mutual funds are owned by middle income people. Retirement plans like teachers, factory workers etc.
@@Chris-dm9eu Majority of mutual funds do now own a majority of stocks and bonds. This is like me saying that majority of people that own toothbrushes are poor. As if that was also an indication of who owned the stocks of those that produced them. There wouldnt be a correlation at all.
You know how to get a higher wage, go back to school
There are other jobs out there..dollar general is a joke in mississippi..nothing on shelves ..boxes pulled up everywhere..dollar general needs to shut the doors
That's how it is in all but the biggest(richer areas) of stores. Same where I am.
💯
Don't bring Jesus into this
As a Store Manager, I have to ask; where do they find these people??
The people being interviewed need to take a closer look at the bottom line.
By the way, a shareholder is anyone that chooses to own stock in the company.
And no, that doesn't automatically make you rich; as a Former Manager in the video seems to believe only certain people can own stock.
The one lady could increase her employment prospects ten fold by taking that shrapnel out her face.

Who is holding a gun to these peoples heads to work there?? What would they be doing if Dollar General never even existed?? If you dont like your job, find another one
They act like there are no exit signs and are locked in the building.
But you agreed to that when you took the job 🤷🏻♀️
You find out what the job really entails only after you've taken it. Before that it's all roses and wine getting blown up your ass.
Either that, or a friend or family member tells you, or you're a creeper that stays in the store all day so you know the ins and outs that way.
Other than having that experience, you'd hear the exact same about DG as you do many other places; that it sucks but it's a job.
Do these people really not understand that all they need to do is buy a share in the company and they can get in the meeting?
As a member of Dollar General staff, I strongly do not concur with this video.
Working in dollar general is not a skilled job. This job is for high school kids
Yessir the people are never gonna learn that they need to learn a trade or go to college to get paid a living wave
"Unskilled jobs" is a myth. The workers are the life blood of society. High schoolers can only work a few hours.
@@niccage6375 there are low paying jobs and high paying jobs and this one is a low paying job! If you want to earn more money , quit this job and go apply to a higher paying job.
@@MiguelHernandez-rk7bg do you grow crops and raise your own cattle? I don't think so.
Can't wait until boomers are dead :)
there are 10 dollar general around where I live was in one yesterday 1 person was working full stock buggies where everywhere you couldn't get down the isles all 10 store are like this 20 stores in Ohio are being looked at for fraud because over 80 % of the prices on shevles don't match at register on was coffee creamer on shelf it was 2 dollars at register it was 4.35 I live in Tennessee
If I still worked at a DG and that happened to me while ringing up, I'd match every price. I might get fired or face legal action, but if DG can't take responsibility, than I'll do my best to do so; and mine's to the customer.
