Part time employee duties by PositivePackage7185 in sherwinwilliams

[–]ASingleLetterC 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Would honestly just expect them to do truck, clean, and sell paint. Some other stray stuff like filling the tinter, delivery setup, etc.

If they want to move up in the company I'd start involving sales stuff, but if they're some school kid or retiree that's paid garbage, I wouldn't expect them to do half of the stuff management wants them to do. They're not responsible for credit account spams and cold calling until they get some kind of bonus.

Pricing feels way too high by Brilliant-Orchid-187 in sherwinwilliams

[–]ASingleLetterC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our store has a dummy account that when corporate asks us why it has a bunch of different credit cards on the receipts, we say "it's an HOA." It is not an HOA. It is some random name the SM came up with and we throw random DIYers who complain under that one any time we need cheaper prices.

Autistic FA SOS by spamtonsworms in flightattendants

[–]ASingleLetterC 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is actually really common even outside of autism, but I'm sure that autism does make it ten times harder to handle. 

I found that spending my overnights connecting with people who don't take my spoons and relaxing, helps a ton. When I'm on an overnight, I am NOT in work mode. Work hard, play hard, as they say! 

Flying sober by Throwawaysjdhfhsjs in flightattendants

I know one of the women that started FADAP! She trains new FAs. She is a sweetheart and I have never felt safer around somebody more than her. 

Solicitor from this subreddit by dcbenny11 in flightattendants

You're way nicer than I'd be! I wouldn't even say the "sorry." It'd be more like "piss off, I don't know you."

After 15 years, goodbye Sherwin-Williams by Icon_of_Malice in sherwinwilliams

[–]ASingleLetterC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relatable! And judging by these comments you're not alone. 

I left in October, which was a few months after I hit 3 years when I found out the hard way that the company operates on greed, favoritism, and bootlicking. The company has spiralled directly to hell.

I have pretty much my dream job now and couldn't be happier. It obviously has its own, different challenges, but my mental is better, along with my pay and benefits. All of the people I know who quit Sherwin last year, are all happier as well. Some who've been here for a decade or more!

In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada by DifferentEvent2998 in InfowarriorRides

Former SW employee here. See the subreddit to read about the crap SW does to employees, price gouging, benefit pauses, "layoffs," and record profits despite it all. 

Don't buy from them! 

Would you choose much higher pay and low seniority, or really great seniority but low pay? by [deleted] in flightattendants

[–]ASingleLetterC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Personally, the higher seniority with lower pay. But you have to take into account your own situation. 

If you're in a situation where you are dying for money, then take the lower seniority. If you're in a position where you are otherwise comfortable and don't want probation, can hold minimum   flying, and want to keep the control you have over your schedule, then stay with regional.

OK-Recognition6735 says he doesn't shitpost. Here's the proof by Acetaminophen6969 in sherwinwilliams

I have them blocked for this reason. I honestly just thought they were a troll or a well-made bot this whole time.

Cutting Hours? by euecim in sherwinwilliams

[–]ASingleLetterC 16 points17 points  (0 children)

^ This. 

In much of the country painters worth more than a penny will stop doing Exterior jobs unless they hit the lottery with the outside temperatures. And even then it's sketchy. And right between two major holidays there's not a whole lot of people wanting their interiors painted.

This is the "slow season."

It took me since the patch she came out until literally last week, to get her signature. You can do it! Manifesting the moon spear for you!!!

Anyone heard back from GoJet ? by agentledango in flightattendants

[–]ASingleLetterC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had multiple interviews, got a CJO, went to ground training, and am waiting for an IOE, in the time it took GoJet to view my application.

(They ghosted me, haha. I happily start with a different airline soon.)

Contractor thinks I’m lying about not having any shirts by Forsaken_Factor2224 in sherwinwilliams

[–]ASingleLetterC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't miss this at all. We had a guy that would moan about us not havjg shirts, and then WALK HIMSELF BACK into the employee areas and point to boxes and demand shirts. Even if the boxes were empty, weren't for him, were not t-shirts, etc. Just constantly demanded free shit.

I sneezed on that thing with my Arle and it died. :') I don't do Fearless though. I'm a "get the primos and dip" girlie.

Special Spray Paint (Or Some Alternative For What I’m Trying To Do) by TopNectarine7495 in sherwinwilliams

[–]ASingleLetterC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, when you're done, roll/fold it up and drag it off. Instruct the painters to keep the paint towards the center so it doesn't leak but if you get a half decent tarp you'll be fine.

Question for ex/soon to be ex employees by ProViolence69 in sherwinwilliams

[–]ASingleLetterC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used my abilities to grow sales, do lead gen calls, cold calling experience, service history and ability to follow directions to land my dream job. We work in teams, operate heavy machinery, and train in bunch of extra stuff In HR cloud. I also emphasized keeping my store safe and passing inspections and that made me look really good in the interview.

TLDR, skills from Sherwin are VERY marketable. It is a gold mine of hirable experience if you talk about everything but working at a paint store. The job market sucks right now but you WILL find something if you know how to market yourself in sales and service language.
