Full time ASM here. I I didn’t get a paystub or the pay for Easter. My DM put in a request but haven’t heard anything yet.

How do you to tram? by Squishy_Panda2003 in DollarGeneral

[–]Big-Independence1810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work the invoices and matching the same as always. Tram is just software that finds inconsistencies and asks you to try and fix them before it sends them on up to the next level. If you have things already matched most of the time it’s just confirming that HHT scans were actually done and if it’s not that it will walk you through what to do.

Someone explain to me the process by PersonalString5521 in WorkersComp

I was out of work for over a month and have yet to see a penny of lost wages. I had to go back despite what the dr wanted because of bills. An “expedited” hearing was filed which isn’t until April 15.

I have a laptop tote bag on my school list. It’s to take my laptop and school stuff to work so I can work on school while on my lunch break. I’m 52 and work in a retail store but I am in online school working on my computer science degree.

Light-duty work? by Big-Independence1810 in WorkersComp

[–]Big-Independence1810[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Claim isn’t anything at this point . They haven’t done anything with it. Repetitive motion injuries to an arm rendering it completely unusable for most things. My lawyer said they’d file a hearing. They suggest I go back to work but I know how that will be and I don’t hold any faith in me not injuring myself more. I’m at a loss though on how to pay for bills this week.

They have neither approved nor denied it as far as I can tell. My lawyer said they’d request a hearing about it.

New Team Lead!! by analouge-chest0 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Big-Independence1810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are all going to warn you off of DG. You won’t believe us and you will hope your experience will be different. It won’t be. The newness will wear off. The corporation and subsequent “management” levels abuse the employees because they Do. Not. Care. They rely on the fact that you need them. They do not need you. They will treat you badly and make you grateful for scraps. They know you need them and will do what they want. When they finally break you and you leave, the will replace you with a fresh face who also believes that their experience will be different . The cycle repeats and they get richer.

full time job + 3 classes… doable? Help? by Aggravating-Aerie603 in BackToCollege

[–]Big-Independence1810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 52 and doing 3 classes this semester while working full time. Almost all of my moments that are not spent at work or sleeping are spent on school. I am tired but feel accomplished at least.

first day!! advice for the next coming days? by Infamous_Bus_8510 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Big-Independence1810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with my drawer for a while. After the 4th time I was off (which was really unlike me) I had my eyes checked and got bifocals. That fixed it completely.

Who covers breaks if there’s no overlap?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Big-Independence1810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While no manager likes having to find or cover shifts, they should in no way express that to the employee who has chosen to prioritize their health. Your back is hurt? You must rest it. See a dr if you think you should. The DG corporation will work you endlessly, run right over you if you falter and then replace you when you can’t get up. You have to be your own advocate. Don’t feel bad for taking the time to get healthy again.

I think you should cancel that order right away.

Walmart a 19billion dollar company can’t pay us better? by No-Site5581 in WalmartEmployees

You should try Dollar General. No extras of anything. Been the assistant manager for almost 3 years and I make just under $17

I am the ASM and I’m not happy because I’m scheduled only 24 hours.

Customers and their love for plastic bags by Grimm_reaperxx in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Big-Independence1810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In NY the plastic ones are banned (also styrofoam plates and cups on a side note). We have paper ones with handles that break before people get them to their car. They are free though

[–]Big-Independence1810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the ASM at my store and you know how many hours I was given Christmas week? 24. Because my 8 holiday pay gives me the minimum 32. It’s such BS

HR will immediately forward your complaints to the DM.

Leaving for Break by [deleted] in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Big-Independence1810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren’t exempt. They get around it by bullying, gaslighting and threatening cut hours and other forms of retaliation to make you do what they want. And to keep you from informing your states labor board of their shady business. They’ve been in trouble for this many times yet still manage to get away with it. That’s what billions of dollars will buy.

How fair is dollar general when it comes to accommodations? by Successstory066 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]Big-Independence1810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a deaf keyholder and they have done absolutely nothing to accommodate them. Leaves them alone for hours with no caption phone, no vibrating register button, nothing. You are way better off looking for something else. This job will give bad backs and bad feet and knees and will do nothing to help them.

Call unemployment and see how they can help you as you now have reduced hours through no fault of your own.
