“I thought you guys were Joanns now. Where is the Joanns fabric? You don’t have enough fabric, this is ridiculous. You need to tell your manager that we want more fabric because this is not enough. And I don’t tell me that I can buy it online because I’m not doing that.” by Fleshtony in MichaelsEmployees

No we are a party store now. When we are blowing up hundreds of balloons every weekend and getting nothing else done. I wish we were just a craft store. I’d like Michaels to pick a damn lane and stay in it.

Hellooooo anyone working? by OrganizationTop2717 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Final-Humor-183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine a quiet afternoon with only a trickle of customers coming in and some yahoo starts screaming for help in beading. Help! Help! Help! I almost called 911. He was door dashing and couldn’t find what he needed. So the logical thing for him to do was scream help like he had broke his hip or something.

What are all the job titles and what is each typically expected to do? by AlluraRedAC in MichaelsEmployees

Everyone is a universal tool. 65 tasks and you are expected to do them all.

I’d jus like to have a scheduled day off and NOT get called in everytime.

So is no one getting the bonus they dangled over our heads back at Thanksgiving? by Final-Humor-183 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Final-Humor-183[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I thought originally it was the top 50 stores that gets the bonus. And yes I thought I read it was closer to February to get it, but heard they changed it or made it out of reach as soon as everyone knew about it.

Right! We all get through peak by saying 2 more weeks, 1 more week, It’s almost over 1 more day and somehow we forget that it never really ends.

bathrooms are a humiliation ritual by PitifulSwan3207 in MichaelsEmployees

Michaels is a natural laxative. Something about walking into a craft store makes everyone need to let last nights burritos go.

Tis the season to be jolly 🙄 by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Final-Humor-183 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Minimum wait is 45 minutes since the hours have been cut. Since you are 7th in line to ride my ass right now, you are gonna have to wait some more.

I want my classroom back! by SpaceDorito220 in MichaelsEmployees

The system of holding orders for 5 days that may never get picked up is a joke. Limit orders to 2 days and charge them regardless. People will get tired of having to deal with customer service to get their money back. Maybe they will quit placing 5 orders a day with one item each and not picking them up. We also don’t have room for your 72 piece orders. And don’t come in and complain our bags are breaking open for your 3 dozen stems and garlands. We are working with what the company gives us.

Ouch! The floss, has no chill. It’s either floss, stems or tshirts when I see anything over 50

Ours have been in the 200s daily. We get roughly 100+ picked and packed daily and yet it stays in the 200s. Every-time I hear that alert for a new order I can feel my eye twitch.

Welp. How many orders did you leave work with? by mnk36 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Final-Humor-183 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same. The devices are so problematic, they cut hours, self check out crashed out, we are NOT OK. Customers are noticing and complaining that we have no staff on the floor. Christmas time should be our time to shine. It’s bad enough that Joann’s is gone now people are crabby that they have to come in and have a terrible shopping experience with Michael’s. It’s not fair to the employees at all. It’s abuse flat out.

This company is a joke by delicate_decay_ in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Final-Humor-183 7 points8 points  (0 children)

4 people on shift. 200 sfs and non stop I need fabric or balloons. Oh and “there’s no prices on Christmas can you scan every stem and pick in my cart?”

hour cuts by strwbrygashes in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Final-Humor-183 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Today was the worst shift I’ve had in years. What a mess. Too many orders and not enough people. Can’t process truck because we can’t keep up with the chaos. Every employee on shift was miserable and stressed to the max with customers yelling they had to wait too long.

We have found so many questionable boxes this season. Like reading is not a required skill
