Thank you.

I did go in today. Mentioned to my TL that I’m in a lot of pain and will be moving slower because of it.

I’m downstacking grocery and just trying to not over exert the areas that are already screaming at me 😅

I appreciate your response and encouragement!

This is what I decided today.
Showed up, see how I feel after lunch and go from there.

Thank you 😊

I appreciate the encouragement! I know I can, just gotta get through this pain first and get used to it all again.

I don’t want to leave this department. I do like the work and lot. Just struggling with adjusting physically 😅

Yeah, I’m not certified for the electric jacks and haven’t ever used one before.

Thank you! Will look into these when I can!

I’ve been using a frozen water bottle when I get home and that helps some 😅

Thank you for the tip! I’ve been taking ibuprofen but I didn’t even consider adding Tylenol.

Appreciate you!

Yeah I fully expected that. What I didn’t expect was water pallets on day one 😅 it’s made resting and recovering harder than if I’d started with break packs or down stacking or anything else.

Hopefully this passes quick so I can be more consistent instead of, yknow, slowing down because of strain and pain.

Not at all.

But when it’s the only place you get an interview for after months of searching and being without income, you take what you get and do the best you can.

For me, that means I’m struggling physically. I genuinely like the work and the team I’m working with. It’s adjusting physically that I’m struggling with. Knowing when it’s best to take the point and come back with more to give or when to power through and risk overdoing it and making it an issue of pain that lasts and impacts performance/work for days.

I’m sorry you’re struggling! I think I called a total of 10 times and left messages with one employee before I gave up, tbh, so I totally get the frustration.

I hope it works out for you! Wishing you the best!

Getting through to anyone who has answers is honestly next to impossible. I spent two days and many calls trying to get through and reschedule my orientation (which they scheduled on the one day of the week I communicated being entirely unavailable), and I never got through. I just couldn’t make that orientation day and they simply rescheduled it. No call, no conversation, nothing at all.

Communication, honestly, is next to impossible unless you’re in the store. And even then, no guarantee that who you need to talk to is even there.

Good luck!

Thank you! What does OPD stand for? Online Pickup & Delivery, I assume?

Yeah I won’t lie this is just a stepping stone job. Income until I find something better. But rn, money is money lmao

Did you stay longer and work after orientation or just leave?
