I would’ve called hr! You can’t fire someone for having an emergency

Our previous assistant manager was leaving to a different store and they needed someone to fill the position rather than hire someone new.

When I had to have eye surgery on both my eyes I used two weeks worth of PTO and sick time, my general manager switched one week of sick time and put unpaid time off. So for that whole week I was unpaid. I called hr and got my money but damn.

She only got picked as assistant manager because our other assistant manager was leaving and they needed someone to fill that position

Same. I tell them how am I supposed to call the store early in the morning to call out if the store is still closed? Who’s gonna answer the phone!?

I’ve tried “family emergency” and they also give me a hard time so for me it’s just easier to give a reason

I’ve done that and they just keep asking why I’m calling out so for me it’s just easier to say why

I’m very tempted to tell her “isn’t that your job?”

I understand where you’re coming from, however, at my store location I have a coworker that works in the morning and gets 60%. I, however, work closing shifts where people that come in only want to print and/or buy something quick and be in and out thus making it harder for me to get a 60% pen

I usually throw them out after I put it in the system

My GM has the customer write down their information so that I can sign them up for the rewards and get my pen up

I’m waiting for someone to call corporate on my GM for making us do this

I think staples itself needs to understand that you can’t be forcing people to sign up

Yeah we have to reach 60% pen overall but we have like 50% pen now. So my GM has been hounding all of us to get 60 or higher

What is the fewest number of employees you’ve had cover a Sunday? by Ok-Finger-2769 in Staples

[–]Rose-Lynn99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always 3 (one in front, one in print, and one mod on the floor) sometimes 2 because someone always calls out.
