Yes, right now actually. I work for HEB and it's honestly not as bad as I expected, the customers aren't that rude, the place is clean, and they pay is decently competitive

I love HEB. People there treat you respectfully and they seem happier. Especially at Central Market

I worked on the floor at one for a year. I enjoyed doing stock, but I would have been miserable on cash. The checkout team was always under so much pressure.

25 years in grocery, it can be really great, as long as you have good management. Poor management can ruin everything.

I am due to join pwc IAC very soon. But while verifying my background, they tried calling my ex employer who didn't answer their calls or mails. It was a small firm with no specific HR department.
I forgot to take my relieving letter from him.
They have given me a partial go ahead to join contingent on the fact that i get the document from him.
I tried contacting him over calls and whatsapp but he didn't answer it as i didn't leave on good terms with him.
What is the way out? Please help
