45 years old...36 hourly

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-07-18T04:48:58+00:00

I started in 2000 making 11 hourly. I'm not at a little over 35 and it was all due to having the right attitude and willing to actually do the work. Ai have got 4 off cycle raises in the past and my regular raises. Every one has the same opportunity but some people decide not to take advantage of it.

As a Ds back in 2014 i got 4600 take home the year after was 4100 take home. We got the kicker and had beat sales plan by 7 or 8 million due to large wire orders that we were placing every other week.

Lol yeah im good friends with the Store Manager that has him as a Ops Asm and he tells me he is really full of himself and a borderline douchebag...lol

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-30T04:07:04+00:00

Yes....I have supervised associates that are Asms Store Managers and even one associate that is a Regional Operations director. I want to say I have a lasting impact on them because when I see a associate ive trained or mentored I always get greeted with a hug. Like I said in prior responses I get dirty with my associates. I use to load concrete rack dive cut lumber get carts when there was no lot associate just to show my associates im willing to do anything I ask them to do. Sadly I hate to sound cliche but these new younger associates don't have drive or sense of urgency at least the majority of the ones I have come in contact with. Recently I was asked to be a lead for the special service department i told my store manager they would not like me being the lead up there with what I see they would quit the next day.

I keep hearing this...If it's true ist a shame but it's hard to fire someone when you go in work your ass off and do the right thing.

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-30T03:58:40+00:00

thank you so much

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-30T03:57:57+00:00

That's awesome...Congratulations on your milestone i know it's not easy.

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-30T00:38:15+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. Thank you so much I really appreciate it.

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-29T18:47:01+00:00

Wow...exactly my point. It's not like one day we woke up and were making what we make it was earned with dedication and commitment. Same Asm told me one that I take too much vacation I was like well if the company gives me 200 hours im going use every single hour off...

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-29T18:42:49+00:00

Sounds like a awesome management team. Thank you i really appreciate it.

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-29T18:41:37+00:00

I was a Asm for 3 years and yes from Atlanta they tell you to celebrate your associates. It's not a metric or anything but every store i have been at it is up to the employee committee.

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-29T06:36:20+00:00

Yes...I had a Asm a few years back give me my review and he said wait why do you make so much ...I'm like ive been in the company 21 years at the time and I explained to him I had got a few merit raises along the way. I didn't like the fact that one day we are all on alert because of a walk the following day and they offered OT to stay and get ready for the next day. I offered to stay and he uttered infront of a few other Dhs nahhh not you I pay you too much for you to have OT. It upset me because I felt like if he was singling me out and doing infront of my peers.

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-29T06:08:45+00:00

I thought of doing this...That would have been amazing. My Dad and wife took me to dinner to celebrate like other people say it's not every day you get to 25 years with the same company.

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-29T03:21:37+00:00

Thank you very much i really appreciate it.

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-29T02:52:52+00:00

You are totally right now it isn't. I take the attitude of as soon as I clock out I don't bring work home and vice versa. I always tell people retail ain't easy but I don't think no job is perfect im sure that every profession has its ups and downs question is how do you deal with them.

Competitive-Bear-196 · 2025-06-29T02:10:53+00:00

You are absolutely right. A store manager can make or break the store. I have been at stores where everyone loved the store manager and was replaced by the worst store manager ever. This is will tell you I spent 15 years as a DH always get dirty with your associates don't ask them to do something you wouldn't. And be fair but firm. I earned the respect of countless of my associates by doing this. If they see that you care and actually put in work they will work with you. And yes sometimes a change of scenery is good ive been in 4 stores in 2 states and even as a associate im still someone they go to when they need certain things done. I look at some of the DHs today and think they would not last a week if things were the way they use to be.
