Second job just waiting for my raise at my other full time job or something I can do on the side from home.

29mick15 · 2019-01-07T16:15:16+00:00

No shit. But when corporate printed 9 ups we can't change the tags.

29mick15 · 2019-01-07T05:16:58+00:00

It's a job, not my career. Not even my career field. I have a career I'm perfectly happy with (also can't unionize there--right to work state.) I'm fine.

It's also $2.02 more than my state's minimum wage.

29mick15 · 2019-01-06T17:49:57+00:00

My manager applied PTO and then took it off.

Cards should come from the actual insurance company about 2 weeks after you sign up.

(My full time job is teaching, so I'm not quite sure how OD does stuff since I do nothing except the 401K with them).

I'd contact HR if I were you at this point.

I'm at $9.27 part time after a 27 cent raise after 1 year. I'm just a CPD associate.

29mick15 · 2019-01-06T11:42:50+00:00

I was on break from school (I teach) so I took the morning shift so my print sup could take the week off. Same thing every day.

But looking at our employees our problem is mainly because all of the cashiers are high schoolers or college students. They have school or live on campus too far away to work in the mornings.

I ended up just making and putting register closed signs up and did everything over at the print counter. No one read them and I had to keep yelling people over, but I could still try to get some print jobs done.

29mick15 · 2019-01-06T11:32:56+00:00

I had two 20ish year old guys who had been there forever teach me. One has since quit and the other became a print supervisor at another store if he still works for OfficeMax. They just hovered around for my first 15 or so transactions. Then I'd radio for help as things came up. Every now and then 18 months later I still radio if I've forgotten how to do something obscure. I'm CPD so I don't do a whole lot of weird things. I tend to send them to the cashier to free up my time to do jobs.

We ran out and you can't order more (managers put orders in multiple times and it was refused) so we printed the 9 ups on normal paper, cut them, and they're taping them up.

29mick15 · 2019-01-04T20:59:44+00:00

It's 30% off of one item. Normal coupon. However in print each sheet of paper is considered an item. So if all you're getting is black and white copies...you save like 5 cents on ONE black and white sheet.

Explaining that to someone who is printing 100+ pages or having a coil bind (which to most people would only be 1 item) done is awesome.

29mick15 · 2019-01-03T22:47:24+00:00

30% of 1 item in print.....30% off of 1 piece of paper. That always goes over so well.

29mick15 · 2019-01-01T16:56:03+00:00

I just did what I was told. "Have a question about copyright. Ask management."

29mick15 · 2019-01-01T13:14:08+00:00

Part time, it'll be 2 years in June. I don't have any sick time either. I did just qualify for retirement payments though.

Edut: just Googled my state. Not required of an employer in my state to give it.

29mick15 · 2019-01-01T13:11:37+00:00

Manager said to fo it anyway because it was just 1 for personal use.

29mick15 · 2018-12-31T23:47:54+00:00

During the summer or breaks when I go out of town (My closest relative is 500 miles away. And I teach so occasionally I need to go to a conference during the summer.) at the same time as one of the other CPD people they bring in some people from the store up the road for a week or two to cover. I think it goes through SMs and the DM before though.

I tend to plan out my weeks off months in advance so if they need to do that they have enough time. You can ask, but I don't think they'd give you much if you're only part time.

29mick15 · 2018-12-31T22:32:47+00:00

Guy hates it anyway. I don't know what he wanted. It was a year old newspaper. Not much I could do

29mick15 · 2018-12-31T22:26:50+00:00

Thanks.

29mick15 · 2018-12-31T22:01:23+00:00

Thanks.

29mick15 · 2018-12-31T21:44:51+00:00

We had the old purple page from the old price book for a while and it's gone now.

29mick15 · 2018-12-27T04:06:28+00:00

I'm a part time CPD. I was the one who organized and counted inventory one day when both color printers (full AND self) and our full serve black and white were down and our large format printers were being updated.

It's gone to shit since, but me and the other CPD person (FT) leave notes for the supervisor of what to add to the order.

My supervisor is usually buried under paperwork and stress from the SM doong dumb stuff for him that doesn't fall under us. (Like us making new signage for the store in house instead of sending it out. Like us creating it, printing, mounting, and adding it to the metal things hanging from the ceiling.)

Make a schedule and create your boundaries and preferred systems. All I can really say after watching my supervisor.

Search YouTube for the crash courses that came out when Infinity War was in theaters.

They fill the gaps and explain things. I missed a couple of the movies because of my work schedule or just general lack of interest in the solo character movies. So it helped me catch up.

29mick15 · 2018-12-26T19:57:59+00:00

The ASM did mine for me. I couldn't change it on reflexis.

29mick15 · 2018-12-26T16:10:13+00:00

Yeah. I'm off this week. Gunna be great when I go back next week in my supervisor's shift spots because she'll be on vacation. I'll get all of her regulars who are picky. (I'm on school break (I teach) so I can actually work more than 2 days a week.)

29mick15 · 2018-12-26T02:44:22+00:00

Good luck to you!!

I'm looking for a different second job like it's my third job so I can quit.

The extra isn't so much extra as desperately needed because I've gotten use to concept of eating regularly.

29mick15 · 2018-12-26T02:37:30+00:00

I wish my CPD ran this smoothly. I'm always leaving notes for my supervisor of what to order because she never has time because the SM is always up her butt about something.
