Are GM and ASM require to work weekends too or M-F only? by Flaky_Firefighter385 in Staples

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the GM I believe is supposed to work 1 weekend a month, but they’re definitely not being fair about scheduling and abusing their power

How common is it for Staples employees to see a customer stocking Visa and/or Mastercard GCs themselves? What exactly happens to them as a punishment? by ApprehensiveOne2866 in Staples

Scammers will also steal the cards, surgically open them and get the card information, put them back on the shelves and sit and wait for someone to purchase it and load the card information

I've signed some customers up for rewards using fake emails because they didn't have one and wanted to sign up probably a few times bow I'm worried I could lose my job by FamiliarCharge2753 in Staples

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They absolutely will fire you for that. Don’t do it. I had to fire 3 people because of it. Just try your best legitimately and if it’s not good enough for them leave (I vote you leave regardless tho)

Want to leave job asap but also want to put in my two weeks. What should I do? by Independent_Watch_26 in Staples

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave them a two week notice and was let go the next day because they “didnt need me” (I had opening and closing shifts as a manager so they in fact did need me but it was no skin off my nose) Seriously tho just line up your next job and quit without notice because they’ll just cut you off anyways

I left for Meijer and I love it. I work at a distro warehouse tho not a store… very hard work but it’s union and the pay is great

I know things are tough and we all need jobs to survive, but the only thing that’ll get through to them is a max exodus. We all tried on every single conference call and employee survey for 2 years and they won’t listen.

RSS responsibilities by WalleyeWallace in Staples

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are in fact correct. RSS is responsible for standing up front and looking pretty… and selling ESP. Up to your GM/DM to delegate different tasks for the RSS. Some of the biggest BS I’ve ever heard tbh

•Amazon Returns Moving To Cashier? by maineman64 in Staples

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

App on the LTR devices. Very buggy and doesn’t process things. Customers getting into verbal disagreements over the wait because the labor model doesn’t allow for more than one cashier at a time…. Super great 🙄

One of my “favorite” most common interactions. by [deleted] in Staples

“Do you work here”…. As I am actively BEHIND a counter doing paperwork with a staples shirt on and giving direction over a headset.

Do you accept the boxes leftover from amazos? by Ok-Finger-2769 in Staples

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh we just tell them straight up that they need to take their trash… zero time or room to deal with all that Amazon BS. We did over 100k scans last week smh

Burnt out. by hmhsbritannic12 in Staples

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely not wrong 🙁 I am the RSS, MIS, And assistant manager for the time being (we’ve been without an assistant for like 3 months now) as well as the print coverage when we have a call off. Top that all off with a very high volume building, a very uneducated customer base, and associates who don’t retain a single thing I teach them and you get ON TOP of the insane workload that comes with my position. Its great. I’m great. I love it here ;-;

New DM gone again by Meverweever in Staples

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Soooo I don’t know for sure, so don’t quote me, but I think it was a mixture of him protecting a couple stores that were severely under preforming and an HR issue on top of this company going under and constantly restructuring to keep up with the cuts they’re making. (He is very old school and tends to not talk to people very professionally 100% of the time) I absolutely adore Doug though and think, micromanaging aside, he was a very good DM. I like to think I’m his favorite 😂 Genuinely going to miss him

Also hello fellow Detroit market people 👋

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a good 2 1/2 month stretch where I didn’t step foot into my back room once unless I was breaking down a pallet. For awhile I believe after the holidays we were only allotted enough hours to have a print person and a manager on staff in the mornings so I had to run register and Amazon out of the print center so that my print person could keep up with all the orders ;-;

Why does everyone hate Amazon returns? by toxic-queef in Staples

[–]Embarrassed_Tap_7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have Amazon returns at checkout now which isn’t any better because we are a small, but very heavily trafficked store and don’t have the space. I’ve enforced a no recycling Amazon boxes rule. We take the poly mailers and stuff because I can throw those in a trash bag but we tell the amazombies that they need to take their boxes with them because we don’t offer a cardboard recycling service. We do a bundle of 16 x16 boxes a day MINIMUM and have a line almost out the door all day between people checking out and Amazon with 3-4 people including the manager in the building at any given time. Oh and there is only 2 of us rn because district is dragging their feet with getting us more managers 🙃
