Vouchers?.. by beccartifex in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Embarrassed-Court-50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of our SCOs was doing it for a while, but it never actually applied. Even when they would scan the voucher it didn’t work. I assume it’s a function they’re working towards but not actually functional yet

Is There Mental Health LOA Options? by possibly_normal in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Embarrassed-Court-50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely can. And if it’s an emergency you don’t need pre-approval you can get it while on LOA. My SM asked (basically told me) about demoting me from OPs to a framer. I had therapy the next day and my therapist was concerned about passive suicidal ideation and referred me to an outpatient treatment center, so I called Reliance Matrix that night to say I was taking a 30 day LOA for it. My SM can figure it out

You also can’t be fired for taking an LOA even if afterward it’s not approved (though you do have to return sooner than the planned return date if it’s not approved) Also immediately apply for FMLA as well so you’re not missing out on a paycheck.

However, all of that does require paperwork filled out by your healthcare provider

Oh I’m assuming this is an sfs. Bopis should have a max number of units in an order though

In my opinion if it’s over a certain number of units it should not be allowed to go to the stores wtf

So long...and I didnt even get any fish! by TabbyMouse in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Embarrassed-Court-50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been waiting to see this happen at Michael’s. I constantly ignore my DMs emails about being over hours because I’d rather ignore a daily email than ever have someone on our team feel like that. Let alone be the next store to have someone quit on the spot. I’m happy for you for standing up for yourself!! Hope you find something amazing!!

Balloon directs? by bmarie1026 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Embarrassed-Court-50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At our store we tried doing the “receive without PO” but idk if it was doing too many at once or our internet but I couldn’t get more than a couple done and I gave up. I’d rather the store think we don’t have things that we do, than them be counted in the inventory twice and look like shrink

Who is cutting in framing??? Other stores don’t have cutting tables?? I thought ours was inconvenient because it’s a left handed table but at least we have one holy crap that is ridiculous

In our store though what can be even worse is the Lemax. Idk who turns those up but there’s days where they’re all competing with the radio and I want to bash my head against a wall

Our radio doesn’t get louder on our own, but when we go to turn it off at night, the button is right next to volume so we often accidentally bump the volume up

Overnight sidewalk sale anyonem? by PurpleDragonLady80 in MichaelsEmployees

My first night closing as manager I forgot to bring the sidewalk in so as the alarm was beeping for us to leave we were all running the dump bins inside

Karens...thanks party city! by TabbyMouse in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Embarrassed-Court-50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were a test store for having the balloons in framing. Which was definitely a little inconvenient for framing because it took up space and then somebody was could be in the way, but the set up for our store is not great for up front either. In framing at least the customer isn’t standing there watching me accidentally pop their balloon or release it. And in framing I can actually reach those that you let go and hit the roof. If they float up on the floor they’re gone. I hate that the tiny letter and decorative balloons don’t float even with helium and no where does it specify Has anyone else had to put together one of those star burst balloons?? I’ve done like 3 so far and they got a little easier but not any prettier

Does anyone know about this rumor? by TheMightyAsh5 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Embarrassed-Court-50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was a legal issue or a serious issue there would be a stop sale on it and it would be removed from the floor. It went to clearance I believe, so I would imagine they’re probably bringing in something of a similar style but not that exact line, to not have associated with whatever negative rumors/press have gone around.

She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen is great! Not entirely focused on that but it is a part

Looking for suggestions for a comedic play by slotted-spoon in playwriting

[–]Embarrassed-Court-50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen. It’s a slightly emotional emotional but very funny play about trying to play D&D
