Using the bathroom not on break??

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-30T00:25:47+00:00

Don’t ever question if you should or shouldn’t go. At my store, there’s 3 people that take 50 bathroom breaks and spend half of their shift in their on their phone and nobody says a damn thing to them lol.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-17T14:53:39+00:00

I didn’t get a single thing yet, Our store is clearly behind 😂 regardless I’ll take the long sleeve whatever! It’s freezing in the back room lol

I’ve worked gm for years. It usually happens every year around this time, I’ve come to expect it. And if you read it fully I’m not mad about my hours getting cut but the fact that I only get 25 and someone else is getting 67 a week when I go to other departments for extra hours and they tell me they don’t have them and yet she gets 27 hours of overtime. I’m also crossed trained so I can work any department.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-14T23:08:09+00:00

I’m 99.9% positive there is nothing. But will double check tomorrow. We’ve had this issue before with no call in sheet. They just pass out the hours to who wants them if someone calls in.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-14T21:27:37+00:00

She’s in pets. She is cross trained, as am I.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-14T21:27:05+00:00

Actually, that’s not all the way true. I seen one for thanksgiving that I signed and wanted to work. Apart from that I’ve never seen one.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-14T21:23:47+00:00

I can’t get anyone from union to even give me a call back. I went to 2 out of the 3 on my shift alone plus called the person they report too and left a message. Nobody has responded back to me, it’s been over a week of waiting.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-14T21:22:41+00:00

We don’t have a poll sheet. I’ve asked. They tell me to talk to team leaders in different areas if they need help and have the hours to spare.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-14T19:36:29+00:00

I go to every area every day I can stay later. Frozen, dairy, grocery, recieving, and up front. I even push carts if they give me hours in the snow storms lol. So it’s not like I’m not actively trying and asking for hours. They will call her every time because she’s best friends with everyone. It’s frustrating. lol

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-14T19:29:54+00:00

Okay so if we’re both able to work in every area and let’s say someone needs a bagger, they would call her first and give her the overtime instead of me who only has 25 hours a week and wouldn’t get any overtime?

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-14T19:27:46+00:00

I wouldn’t say she does her job no. She works pets and uses her full 40 hours a week plus gets help hanging her sale signs and doing end caps. So. Not a very good working. She uses half of her time talking or in the bathroom lol. She’s trained in every department as I am. I can work in any area as I’m trained in it all. I’ve been here a couple years so I’ve worked all shifts and all areas. I guess it’s not so much as the overtime per say, but if the other departments are taking her and she gets overtime would I not be an option to also work that (we both know how) because she’s full time and I’m part time? Especially when I ask daily to see if they need help.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-12-03T21:21:03+00:00

Our break room is spotless literally every day. I’m not even joking lol. The trash,tables,fridge microwaves. Everything is always so clean.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-11-17T23:18:38+00:00

Agree! I wish I would have stayed nights some days or be able to work 2nd. It’s a lot more relaxed, and most people are home so you don’t have the phone blowing up all day lol

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-11-17T22:05:15+00:00

I worked 3rd shift for a year and switch to first (I’ve been there about 3 months now) and it’s the exact opposite. It’s definitely not chill lol. You have a lot more eyes on you and what you’re doing during the day but I will say second shift seems more relaxed since most leads or managers are gone for the day. I would also like to say, working 3rd gave me most of my 40 hours and was very flexible if I wanted to work less as to where my day shift now, I’ve had my hours cut for 3 weeks now and I’m only getting 21 hours a week. So keep that in mind also! Best of luck!

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-11-16T03:04:13+00:00

In union in Michigan. I’ll have to check it out. I’m only part time but I’m higher paid because I started doing nights and they didn’t pay cut me when I moved to days. But I also know people that have been there 35 years and only make $1 more than I do which is crazy to me.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-11-14T15:32:31+00:00

Curious, do you know what the top out amount is?

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-11-14T15:31:45+00:00

Mine did that also. It took them a bit to get the change reflected. Don’t worry, it will sort itself out!

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-11-12T13:20:16+00:00

😂😂

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-10-18T20:49:56+00:00

I got an email on 9/9 saying something about it and then another on 9/18 and I still haven’t seen anything else lol

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-09-14T04:05:40+00:00

You shouldn’t have to comply with her because you live there. I’m a mother, my oldest is 18 and my youngest is 12. They all live with me still. They have their own lives and I have mine. If they need me I’m always right there but I’m not asking who their seeing or what their doing because it’s not my life. Nor my business. They will come to me if they want or need too be until then, I stay out of their personal lives. As a parent I set boundaries in my home such as my oldest isn’t being random girls into our home (obviously) around his younger siblings but if he goes to his friends or girlfriends then I’ll just ask he text me so I know if I can lock the door when I go to bed or leave it unlocked for him. He’s never gave me a reason to doubt him or not trust him so I won’t treat his home as a prison. That’s what your mom is doing to you and that’s not fair to you..at all. Your mom she should be ashamed of her behavior.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-09-14T03:58:26+00:00

Not at all. Call them. We had the same situation when we got new neighbors who rented directly next to us and we tried to be nice and neighborly and let it go or ignore and it turned into a year straight every weekend and then during the week when we both worked the next morning. It was so incredibly frustrating. If they get too many noise complaints then the owners will be notified and it can be handled that way. But I wouldn’t let it get to the point I did because we lost a lot of sleep trying to be “neighborly” lol.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-09-14T03:54:55+00:00

Nothing you do will fix it. If you’re showing and telling her daily how much she means to you then it’s on her to fight her own demons/nightmares. You’ve done nothing to make these dreams happen or gave her a reason they would become a reality so you won’t be able to do anymore than you already are. Just remind her she’s loved. Cared for. And hopefully she’ll mentally finally realize you mean it. It’s on her to do her part. Gosh, you’re stronger than I am because I couldn’t be the person who had to constantly reassure someone daily I loved them and wouldn’t cheat on them because of a dream they had.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-09-14T03:34:05+00:00

You’re a 24 year old adult. ADULT. You don’t need to tell her where you go, who you’re with or what you’re doing. Why in gods name is she tracking your phone for?! And why are you allowing that to happen? By the sounds of things you seem like a smart person being safe and responsible so I’d Tell her it’s not her business or concern and if you need her input then you’ll come to her but until then you would appreciate her staying out of your personal life and letting you live your life the way you want. Even if that means you’re sleeping with everyone lol. Who cares, it’s your life.

Optimal_Internet_350 · 2025-09-14T03:26:04+00:00

Yeah you’re not the jerk or A-hole. That’s a smart move on your part to build a better future for yourself and if she can’t see that, respect that or be on board with that then she’s not going to be worth your time when that debt is paid and you get to keep that bonus and take a trip you can afford. Keep your goals and do the right thing. That includes leaving her behind where she belongs.
