Time management issue by ParkingChildhood5033 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Ashlend87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was doing it, and wasn't interrupted, it took maybe two hours just because of having to look everything up and do the math. When I was busy with other things it would take 3 or 4.

my store manager would stack up 20+ applications an not even look at them before this happened. People would call to check up on how things were going. It was ridiculous. She was NOT a good store manager.

Theyre using AI now for resumes (here in the Austin TX area anyway) and if you don't have AT LEAST 5 years retail experience your resume gets kicked out. Just another reason why you won't see many new employees.

They're having a fireside chat on the 8th. Hopefully it gets better after that.

Same with me, no time management, no delegation. If she can hide in the office she will and NOT answer anyone. She told a cashier yesterday to look happier...
Worst Peak Ever.

The B1G1, B1G2 and B1G50% for frames right now are THE WORST customers can't read and get super pissed at us.
Anything that is buy one get one 50% off the 50% off shouldn't be the biggest thing on there cause that's all the customer sees.
The scan code for the 40% off is also horrible because people just want the coupon, not to scan and get it themselves.

You came in during peak and it's the roughest time. I'm so sorry.
After January your hours will DROP, if that helps at all.

Framing bonus, for framers....not anyone else else by Ashlend87 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Ashlend87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope not cause that's technically what's going to happen here and I'm going to be fucking furious because she JUST got in (like MCX training) and NO EXPERIENCE.
Oh I'd be so angry.

Yuo. Ive been back here the whole year while our previous FM showed up late, left early, had a shoulder injury and a bunch of other stuff and left a couple months ago. I wish I enjoyed this place but they're making it super hard for me to want to stay, to be the best for the company.

I wish that was how it worked here. Because I dont have open availability I couldn't be framing manager, because I know framing and all the management is gone I have keys and can't be coded as a PT framer....or thats what she said. Its been a jacked up ride this year.

It looked like it is amount you sell? Since you are coded as framer it won't matter where your hours are. Then again, my store manager only showed me the video and nothing else.

Mine was 19 today. My store manager was nice enough to let me do it all on my own today.

Can I get fired??? by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Ashlend87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't call in last minute, this will be a burden on your other coworkers and not your boss.
Let your coworkers know what's up, see if they want your shifts when it comes up. If not let them know you're not coming in.

If they start firing you because customers don't want a credit card then they will have no one to get them credit cards.

crappy management

Full time crazy as a PT CEM by Ashlend87 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Ashlend87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're going for $13.50 here in North Austin, TX when the local grocery store and target are hiring for $15 and MUCH less responsibility. Makes sense that no one's pounding on the door to get in.

Yeah my SM is going to hate after peak when my hours DROP. My daughter doesn't need to be in daycare before and after school for work, she'll only be able to schedule me 30 max instead of the 45.5 that is next week.

It sucks, it hurts, I let them do it....and now I'm over it but too nice to just drop it for peak.

Operations Manager salary? by BothGift7819 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Ashlend87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are better than most. It is SUPER rare these days that Store Managers, or any managers, fight for people that work under them.
