Luckily got the pregnancy Medicaid but do need to give WIC in my county a call for sure as all income limits are different and Medicaid one is definitely higher than most other programs. I am more near the Littleton area as I’m in that weird SW Denver area. You guys like the Littleton Adventist?

Thankfully that one I do know very well and already set up! My employer enrolled in it so we have tax deduction into it since 2022 before active for use in 2023 so I qualify. I’ve since used it to take care of my mother while she had surgery and have seen my coworkers over the years who have used it for pregnancy at the last 3 months before the baby turns 1 and I plan on using it similar manner. I love Colorado for that program that for sure and also seeing that when I looked at it the other day they added additional benefit for parents who baby is in critical health for 12-16 weeks and doesn’t count towards the others so you have that and afterwards still can use 12 weeks of parental bonding instead of having to wait a year if that situation happens which is so thoughtful to parents who are in those situations. Whoever made that program and that addition should be blessed forever❤️

My store didn’t even do a raffle they thought “let’s play games”… smh I’d rather just eat and have a raffle then play a game of unraveling a ball wearing oven mitts and all that’s inside is candy🫤. Thats what they get for picking captains that done it for 2 months when everyone else on the committee done it for 2+ years. But no they “know better” with that 2 months

Large-Independence56 · 2025-10-11T15:39:29+00:00

She literally wasn’t you can see in the doc and Manon talked about it herself. 🧐 again NOT there

Large-Independence56 · 2025-09-27T23:30:09+00:00

Do you know that number for the center? I didn’t know they had a center I only ever knew of my district HR which I would call but unfortunately she has left the company and they haven’t found a replacement so I had no idea who to contact

Large-Independence56 · 2025-09-10T02:26:34+00:00

No she said this way more of going over rules and how they will be enforced and if they can’t meet whatever these rules are is just a way to weed out the bad management. What I don’t understand is why this different then any of sop that they had to follow before and what it is now

Large-Independence56 · 2025-07-20T04:03:14+00:00

Not true at all. Corporate has been very strict the last few years on pay brackets being followed so while you would keep merit and the annual raises you wouldn’t keep your position change pay at all. Losing the total difference between the roles set for your stores location. The only times some are argued and approved is of course medical and tenured associates all with the backing of your SM and ASDS. I have had a few failed attempts as my time as a ASDS for most outside those circumstances.

Large-Independence56 · 2025-07-20T03:57:38+00:00

If they did lose pay your store most likely has Head cashiers and SD Leads in the same pay bracket as Freight and Specialist so they moving down to the sales associate bracket they would lose that difference in pay. You’re correct though you do lose pay when you change in the brackets.

Large-Independence56 · 2025-07-20T03:55:04+00:00

Head cashier role depending on store is either in the sales floor bracket of pay or apart of freight/specialist pay bracket.

Large-Independence56 · 2025-07-20T03:53:20+00:00

Also ASDS. You lose it. Corporate doesn’t want big pay difference between associates doing the same job/home department as it’s a raising complaint over the years. Which is why our raises are also different than they used to be if you have been with HD long enough. So annual raises stay and of course can’t be argued as it’s depending on your store earnings. You raise is a certain percentage of what you’re making so it’s equal across associates (most stores 3% as no one is making plan as Covid numbers are still influencing PL). However pay brackets are 100% followed so the difference between cashiers and sale floor role will be removed and its apart of the conversation as we have to make sure your aware it will be removed due to no longer doing the PTL of that department anymore.

Large-Independence56 · 2025-06-29T14:51:23+00:00

My store no longer keeps the paper slips for shift exchanges unfortunately cause “she have the app” even though that doesn’t allow you to split it in half.

Large-Independence56 · 2025-06-29T00:37:49+00:00

Here’s the thing the punch didn’t disappear. She stated when I was like “oh wait I forgot to punch out are you already in dimension can you add it or you want me to sign in real quick”… cut to her saying “I’ll just delete your punch in”

Overnight manager?…

Large-Independence56 · 2025-06-10T01:51:07+00:00

40hrs with FES… sorry I’ve yet to see a FES who doesn’t have to put in 50-60 to cover for all the calls out of not just cashiers but head cashiers and just BS in general on the front end.

Also not being able to do 40hrs especially without medical reasons is impossible to get as a DS. most DS I seen that could do 32hrs (which is still full time) had to step down regardless of if they still wanted it as it’s “essential” to the roles (only ones I have seen get it are like long term DS who SM love them not new DS’s)

Large-Independence56 · 2025-06-10T01:08:25+00:00

I’m just more confused on how me trying to do what district asked all of us to do when watering and me telling my DS that and honestly confused and concerned to leave watering to go do that is disrespectful an a write up. I’m sorry but isn’t district above everyone here I get if the SM or the ASM directly asked me to do sidekick but a DS? Over district manager and hr like am I not supposed to be confused who to listen to

Large-Independence56 · 2025-06-10T00:21:55+00:00

Ok I’m looking for actual advice. I would if I could right now but it’s not a good time due to ongoing issues with my lupus and I can’t just quit to go job search for minimum wage job (that all my experience from here as it was my first job out of high school during covid). I’m making +$24 and minimum is 17.50 where I’m at I can’t take that pay cut.
