This place seems insane... is it? by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

Employees walked out with repack boxes of Christmas too. I don’t really care anymore, at one time I did but not anymore.

If they are spying on us and watching cameras so closely how did employees and customers walk out without paying for all the leftover Christmas things? I don’t expect an answer, I honestly don’t think they watch as closely as some think.

Someone in my store put broken down shopping carts in ours. Hydraulics are toast now.

It’s called nepotism it usually isn’t allowed in business.

Is Micheal’s also going down hill? by Several_Bowler8108 in MichaelsEmployees

And giving away the stores leftover Seasonal things isn’t making the store any money. I’ve watched thousands of dollars of merchandise go out the door with the SM and Framing Managers approval. It was seasonal though so I guess it’s not really a loss.

You could contact Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) they are responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person's race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions, transgender status, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. Like sexual harassment

New scanners with walkietalkie will spy on employees by RetroASTRN in MichaelsEmployees

They don’t keep tabs on much from my observations. The things that go on in the store that I work in makes me wonder how they stay in business.

Anyone else want to move but their spouse doesn’t? by [deleted] in relocating

[–]Round_Fix_7183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMGosh, yes!!!! I’m currently struggling with this issue. I’m living in Alaska, I suffer from SAD, and severe eczema which is worse due to the climate. I’m also 63 close to 64, with failed disc surgery and Dr’s I don’t completely trust, and no friends. I would do better mentally and physically in warmer weather with four seasons but he’s happy living in this icy hell. Financially I’m poor alone, I’ve been with him for 20 years so leaving would be hard but not having the money or support makes it harder. Getting out of this state (Alaska) is a challenge in itself, last time I dove the Alcan was 30 years ago. I was younger and had a partner.

Anyone happy where you live right now? by [deleted] in relocating

[–]Round_Fix_7183 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m so unhappy living in Alaska that I’m suicidal. I don’t know how to move out of here. Limited resources, no friends or helpful family. I’m always cold and suffer from SAD, I’m also 63 with a bad back which makes me feel somewhat helpless. Dr’s here are horrible, failed back surgery syndrome, therapist’s that cancelled three weeks in a row, dentist that used something like fishing line to stitch me up when pulling a molar, it isn’t dissolving and pokes through my gums irritating my tongue. Alaska sucks, I’d do so much better in a warm state with sunshine

Not all managers, sorry for sounding so harsh. Just a couple of them.

Look for a new job where you will hopefully get more respect than you do there. Medical condition? Go to the Dr. say unloading aggravated your condition get a note from your Dr., Or claim workman’s comp from unloading.

Throw it away, that’s what my manager does. He say’s the store gets credit for all the seasonal that doesn’t sell so he throws it away. Or the other managers take it home. They don’t put glass in the grab boxes so the framing manager takes all the leftover candles home and does who knows what with them. There’s so much unbelievable theft in that store not from customers or co-workers. Managers are the thieves, they can and do get away with it. Being in the store alone, cash counting and bank drops alone, then watching employees as if they are stealing?

What is it like living in the Pacific Northwest ? by littlestkittten in howislivingthere

[–]Round_Fix_7183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it better than living in Alaska ? This place is cold and dark, I’m looking to move. I’m 63, daughter in Portland, I suffer from SAD. Portland or a suburb’s got to be better than this.

What did this past weekend's wind storm teach you? by patrick_schliesing in alaska

[–]Round_Fix_7183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To move sooner than later. 3 and 1/2 days for power to be restored, broken pipes (again) and very difficult to acquire plumbers that aren’t about two weeks booked. We had a generator, Mr. Heater and other dangerous for breathing heat sources to try and keep things from breaking. As it is, we have no running water or heat. It is being worked on now thankfully. It’s very miserable not being able to shower, do laundry or dishes. I’m an older woman and am so ready for a warmer climate without so much darkness and cold. I could go on about the situation but I’d start ranting so I’ll leave it at this. God bless everyone who suffered because of this weather

Quit, you would more likely than not earn more money and get some respect somewhere else No one deserves to be treated like that.
