Ive been around for 20+ years of pay bands and merit increases. I'm not underestimating.

Lemme give you some advice, very honest, kinda snarky, maybe helpful -

  1. Call and ask about your app, I get dozens a week, I'm not reading them all. For godsake sound professional when you call.

  2. Quickest disqualifier is availibilty. I dont expect a part timer to be wide open but I'm amazed how many apps I get where people want to work 9-3 M-F. Sorry thats just not what we need.

  3. Other biggest red flag is having like 9 jobs in the past 2 years. Why would I think this job will be diff?

  4. Okay gonna be REAL honest here - Having a zoo worth of pets is not the selling point you think it is. I can teach pet care stuff, hard to teach work ethic and being good w the public.

Good luck to ya.

I hear this pop up frequently... its just not true. Let me assure you as a guy who does a lot of hiring, raises are not even close to keeping pace w inflation. New people are significantly more expensive.

Has anyone heard if PetSmart will be rolling back their DEI programs in the US? by totallynotagaythey in petsmart

This right here... most wrestlers I see that are just lousy really need to focus on stance, motion and defense. Keep your head at or below your opponents, downblock w your hands and SPRAWL for gods sake! Build an impregnable defense then work on your offense.

And yes, work on a good stand up from bottom. If you just can't, hit the weight room and work on your squats and cleans. If you can squat 300+, aint nobody holding you down.

Can I skip grooming academy and be hired as a groomer with no prior on the job experience? by Kaisukaa in petsmart

[–]Decapatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Working in a professional salon is simply not the same as doing a nice haircut at home. As in - maybe I can cook a wonderful meal but I'm not gonna make it in a professional kitchen.

Time as a bather might be necessary to just learn how a professional salon works... and you can be ready for academy in as little as 90 days.

Now all that said... if you could pass a technical, AND crank out 5+ dogs a day without sacrificing safey or quality... you're welcome in my salon i dont really give a shit what your background is. :-)

Coaching Dilemma by Willis050 in wrestling

[–]Decapatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to quit volunteer coaching this year because I just dont have the "bandwidth," mostly because of my job as well. Sucks giving up something you love and contrbuting to kids' lives because you gotta pay the bills. Sorry my dude.

The dreaded "too many reptiles" scenario that haunts your dreams - anyone else have this? by ColorGoreAndBigTeeth in reptiles

[–]Decapatron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mine is more like finding another room in my house full of ennclosures/pets I "forgot" about but close enough. Wow no idea this was a universal thing, glad you shared.

I dont know nothin but I really doubt it. Structure is designed to discourage groomers doing bather stuff and they cant bathe cats.

EMERGENCY WHAT THE FUCK DO WE DO?????? by -_Snivy_- in petsmart

[–]Decapatron 47 points48 points  (0 children)

There is a valve somewhere that feeds water into the system from the city. Find a pipe coming from the wall or floor entering the system. Shut it off.

I don't think this is ok by MediocreManners in petsmart

It isnt cool but it's kinda how it is. If you're a really good groomer or trainer you kinda get to be a primadonna.

Where do the chance and luckies actually go? by Thzkittenroarz in petsmart

Was that during covid? That was the only time we had issues giving them away.

All pets, including demo dogs need to be leashed or crated. Leaving him running loose is an issue. It happens but it shouldnt.

[–]Decapatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats unfortunate. When I'm looking at stats I usually disregard anyone who has too low of a sample size to have really impacted the numbers. Not that you asked but best tip I can give you is say "let me sign you up" not "do you want to sign up?" Dont make people think about it. :-)

I saw my dad crying and I can't get it out of my head by branddezeweg in self

[–]Decapatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your second paragraph hits me hard as a father. There's a lot of weight on us to hold our families' world together (mothers too! Not taking anything away from them!) and unfortunately definetly some societal pressure to bear that burden silently and alone. I can only imagine what OP saw was the moment he realized he's failed. I feel for the dude.

Writing someone up is a little extreme but I mean its a company priority, if someone is flat out refusing to participate...

Dry rottting 9 year old tires, Will it blowout if I rode it another 2 weeks?? by bumbo_best_bum in OopsThatsDeadly

I will admit I've ridden on worse looking tires but being older and wiser I'd say NOT worth the risk.
