I hate Big Lots rather thoroughly. Not the people individually, although I certainly have my right to be upset about some of the garbage situations I was put in. No hard feelings for the CEO, who I had the pleasure of meeting in person. But the company and its broken, backwards policies as a whole have left me with such a bitter hatred that FIVE MONTHS AFTER I'VE QUIT I
still find myself boiling over past events.
One of my best friends and then my partner still work with the company, so I guess that leaves some amount of freshness. Actually most of the people I like to see regularly still work there. People good, company bad.
I am sick of having GOB (going out of business) nightmares. Just wish the dreams would focus more on the attitude I carried toward the end. Not tolerating peoples' bullshit, giving them solid, simple answers and not catering to their need to waste my time with policy talk, just walking away if they wanted to be a problem...actually having a backbone for once in my life, that was great.
Watch me still buy Hefty food bags from there anyway.
