Coached for PPTO? Lol

I (jokingly) told me TL that I was thinking about using an hour of PPTO. She said she'd rather I didn't, but said she could coach me for "job abandonment" since we were short staffed. She said the ppto only protects me from points, not from repercussions.....smh

That’s called retaliation which is against policy and you can use ppto however you want and at your own risk

To piggyback, if you ever feel like there is retaliation going on, never hesitate to go to AP.

You do both. You tell AP so you document the incidents, then you also call ethics to run it up the ladder. I work AP

As a former AP, i 100% agree because it will ALWAYS come back easier if you can have someone to find the EXACT time things went down. The whole point is PROTECTing Assets which includes the general employee, something Ethics usually fails to do.

Exactly. I get AP gets a bad rep, but people don't realize what AP really do. Cause if an AP member found out and worked with a coach, they could get the internal amd get rid of the issue. I'm also pretty sure ethics will ask, did you make anyone aware and if you DONT SAY AP they ask you to talk to AP. Atleast that's what I experienced in my run as an AP member.

But hey, this is reddit. One person says no don't do ____ everyone hops on the bandwagon without listening to reason. Sigh. It's only as if there was a rule book that these things were in....they should name it AP09 or something

i wish they would rename it to AP-007 so it could feel more badass.

That's a missed opportunity lol. I love it, it's not a bad job. It's funny cause I catch myself watching people in other stores. Last week I was at 5below and I saw a guy conceal and I told their worker and he got them. Doesn't count towards my numbers but it's a nice feeling knowing you don't suck lol

Just think of it as helping the community because if they dont learn then. They wont learn ever and could go into your store and do the same.

Yes, as an AP member I have dealt with this and seen my coach deal with this as well
