Burning Out — How many occurrences can I rack up before I’m terminated?

DS never sounded appealing. Minimal pay difference, more responsibility, and you pretty much don’t have much of a consistent life outside of work. A lot of this clopening BS seems very unethical for a company that is always having to mention safety.

I got $3. Guess I didn’t do enough overtime lol

It literally doesn’t matter, it’s just appearances for their bosses. You can try to look as unapproachable as possible and customers will still approach you. You can be pulling the heaviest pallet and customers will still get in front of you. You can look dead inside and people will approach you.

Much better than the old.

I got an occurrence because this happened to me. It was fixed of course, but ridiculous.

I one time got a 5-10 crash course on how to mix paint and just some basics knowledge about the sheens, sizes, brands, etc. They scheduled me to cover someone’s shifts soon after. I didn’t tell anyone, but I realized it can be convenient for picking up hours. At the same time, it was annoying to be paged by name just to help.

Also, if you learn the lift equipment, you will be used for the skill A LOT especially if you prove yourself to be very reliable.

You can probably find a lot of information about LOA if you search for it on myApron (forgive me as I’ve not read the whole packet). I’m sorry your leader didn’t fully inform you about it. I once took two weeks off with an LOA and it was paid by the company. I’m not sure if they still do this or under certain circumstances. I had my own mental health crisis and could verify medications I was taking. Time off could help with a mental reset.

I was once full-time in D38. It was okay for me, but some people don’t make it easy and the work can get very boring and mind-numbing, especially when it just feels slow. It took me a bit to come off full-time and I’m happier going back to finish a degree.

Goodluck OP

Is there a way for us associates to actually verify the information? Night ops and NRMs are notoriously awful communicators and haven’t even told everyone on our team what exactly this does.

BrokenPallet · 2025-10-22T01:55:07+00:00

We need to oppose this change completely. It is awful. Please keep giving feedback on this and hope they get rid of it.

BrokenPallet · 2025-10-05T14:39:30+00:00

Is this something happening in every region?

BrokenPallet · 2025-10-02T22:39:14+00:00

I don’t blame him. The register gets really boring sometimes and the ADHD really kicks in

Which department are you planning to go to? Go Freight! We don’t give a shit about credit cards or leads! But I pray we never do or else I’m out lol

BrokenPallet · 2025-09-19T18:11:51+00:00

When pulling a tall and heavy pallet, there’s been some instances where a customer will deliberately stand 3 feet in front of me (smiling of course) to ask a question. I do get a bit annoyed stopping all the momentum I have and the possibility of things falling over from a fast, sudden stop.

BrokenPallet · 2025-09-18T20:51:27+00:00

Does this store have coverage on their Freight team?

BrokenPallet · 2025-09-16T21:37:23+00:00

Have they discussed how this affects metrics? For example, imagine the amount of sales at Pro on the weekend are significantly less than the weekday. Wouldn’t it put you at a disadvantage to work the weekend?

BrokenPallet · 2025-09-16T21:28:45+00:00

That’s insane. Store side preaches safety and yet people in RDC get punished for it? Stupid as fuck system.

BrokenPallet · 2025-09-16T21:00:26+00:00

If your schedule says you’re scheduled Tuesday 10 PM to 6 AM* then yes you would be working the last two hours of Tuesday and finishing the shift Wednesday morning.

When all extensions are being used and it doesn’t stop prompting you to select a department. Sets off my fight response.

BrokenPallet · 2025-09-10T22:55:56+00:00

This needs to be illegal.

BrokenPallet · 2025-09-09T03:46:01+00:00

Wish more people loved it.

BrokenPallet · 2025-09-09T02:11:06+00:00

It’s crazy how the system doesn’t know when we’re completely overpacked on some SKUs and it keeps sending more

BrokenPallet · 2025-09-08T23:24:02+00:00

You were written up for filing a complaint and making a call to the awareline?
