I have never been so angry at my company as I am right now!!!!!!I can't tell you who I work for because if I was caught talking about them I can be terminated. But I need to vent.................. So for 3 years I have been in the management training program. This means no extra pay but when they need a manager for a local store they pick from this group. It also means you are given tasks to perform which take you off the selling floor. I work on commission. So of course my productivity goes down. Last Wed. I was told my DM wants to see me. We talk about the fact my productivity has gone down. So her is where I get angry.....Yesterday my manager says to me something about not signing my write up. I asked what write up. That little talk we had was a verbal warning. I have 90 days to get my productivity up. She never told me!!! I asked my manager to come to the office with me. I told her I am stepping out of the management training program and going to be just on the floor. I couldn't believe it!!!! I was angry I was crying, which I hate that I do that when I get mad. I can not afford to lose my job and there are no jobs out there right now. Thanks for letting me vent!!!

My last job was very frustrating and I cried a couple of times there. It wasn't something I wanted them to see but when they get you to that point there isn't much you can do.
Sadly there aren't many opportunities out there. It seems many companies are treating their employees like garbage and now get away with it.
My last boss told my department if we didn't like his company we could leave and if by 6 pm we came to him and resigned he would give us $500.
I was tempted, but he knew none of us could leave.
boy just because you had a "little talk" i would think they should have told you it was being considered a verbal warning and also had you sign a paper on the spot when the talk was finished.... not how many days later or on your next "little talk" what a joke....
sorry to hear this is happening to you, try not to cry in front of management, that shows them your weak side and that is what they will prey on again and again, especially if they want to get rid of you for some reason.... cut backs etc.
That is why I was so mad at myself. Unfortunately, I always seem to do that when I get angry. I even did this a child. Now I am almost 50 and the freakin' water works are getting worse not better.
