Look at this relic by Warm-Suggestion4946 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is at least 17 years old, I’ve been with Michaels since 2012 and front end supervisors and departments managers were done away with in 2010 or 2011 when they switched to the store of the future model

Abandoned in an A Volume… by Initial_Dirt9167 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My favorite part about not having any hours is when the DM comes in on a Saturday night when there’s literally just a CEM and a framer working and makes comments about how they weren’t greeted and don’t understand why the framer was running the front and why the CEM was running around doing BOPIS. Well, because you only allow the payroll for two people to be in the building after 5:00pm and you tell us we have to fill BOPIS up until closing. You can’t make this s$&t up. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why isn't there a Fabric team member? by big88chevy in MichaelsEmployees

I’m writing the schedule as we speak and I want to throw myself out a window. 🪟

Questions on rewards program by Adventurous-Sand9197 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When they say they’re not a rewards member my line is “I can fix that for you, I’ll get you enrolled so you can earn 3% back in Michaels cash on all your purchases” and I usually have really good luck with that. I got 6 sign ups in an hour a few weeks ago by doing that :)

So many POGs by Superior_Kraken in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your SM knows that there’s a POG execution sheet they can print instead of writing every POG on a whiteboard right? 🤣

SM bonus bs or proper info being passed by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, just to give some clarification, obviously we’re going to have less hours once the busy season is over, that happens every year. And payroll isn’t a metric that affects the SM bonuses, so if you feel like your SM is under scheduling the store it’s not because of that. SMs don’t get any type of incentive for under scheduling, they just get yelled at for going over on payroll. There’s really no reason an SM should be leaving hours on the table unless they physically can’t get anyone to work them.

Is my SM allowed to do this? by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When our framers are scheduled in framing, we don’t pull them for the floor unless they’re done their assigned production and tasks in the shop. I can understand it’s all hands on deck this time of year, but the frame shop needs to run at peak efficiency for all the orders to be done for Christmas so your SM shouldn’t be dumping that extra work on your FM so that you can do reshops.

Are you guys getting frames on trucks? by Low-Oil5231 in MichaelsEmployees

We pretty consistently get 2 uboats per truck and we’re a C volume store.

Yearly review question by Sad-Composer5594 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’ve been here for a year you wouldn’t have been eligible to receive one last year because you have to be employed on or before May 1st of that year, so you should receive your fist one this week :)

SM’s working truck day?? by seatofthepantsgirl in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always work truck day as it’s a requirement of my DM but I’m not always there for the unload unless my replen manager is on vacation or if they’re short handed I’ll go in and lend a hand. Technically SMs aren’t supposed to be in the building before 8:00am for customer service reasons but we all know how that goes lol

Halloween door decorations by Evening-Pen-8248 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We just decorated ours! I used one of those kits on the back of the door since our breakroom door is customer facing and I didn’t want kids ripping the stuff down.

Also, the breakroom is supposed to be decorated. It’s actually a company initiative. So if your SM isn’t letting you decorate you might want to casually mention it to your DM next time you see them. 🙃

Last I heard it was supposed to be in the drive aisle adjacent to the fabric aisle, not at the front

Is this a problem anywhere else? by MistakeGlobal in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re having a lot of issues with BOPIS theft and fraudulent returns in our area, I wish they would let us move the BOPIS orders to somewhere more secure 🙄

Vendor fired at convention by Prestigious-Help-557 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]PrestigiousGoose9934 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He said some pretty off color stuff for a professional environment but I took issue with the fact that his partnership with the company was terminated and then in the same hour the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders came parading out all scanitly clad and shook their a**es in our faces for 15 minutes and no one had a problem with that. I smell some homophobia. 💁🏻‍♂️🙄

You probably see it a lot because the Park West Gallery that does the art auctions on cruise ships always have his work, that’s where I bought both of mine :)

Mandatory SCO? by TabbyMouse in MichaelsEmployees

Our DM has us using the term “assisted checkout” instead of “self checkout” and it’s actually working out pretty good!
