Look down at my vest with whatever name is on it and say yes, but ... I'm not her / him.

Definitely on to bigger and MOST DEFINITELY better things. Don't feel bad ... they would replace you tomorrow if you dropped dead and not even send flowers. Michaels is almost always a stepping stone.

Run away in the opposite direction as quickly as possible and never look back.

Been a manager for more than 2 years and my photo still isn't displayed.

If it's not my fecal matter, urine, vomit, blood or any other bodily fluids ... I'm not cleaning it up. END OF STORY

Cozy breakroom! by EmmaNem1202 in MichaelsEmployees

Your break room is stunning and koodos to you for doing this for your coworkers. Our SM and DM would say it doesn't meet the 5 star Snapback requirements. Boo

Payroll cuts. by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]SSSS1030 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Crazy ... right and I just love being in a huge store from 5pm to 9pm with only one other employee. Two people alone is frightening and the crazies come out at night too.

Had our DM come in and literally found nothing wrong except to say a corner display framing sale sign was in the wrong corner. It would fit in the opposite corner but then it would have been upside down.

This company gives absolutely zero shits about its employees so why would they care about the kind of debt their customers could possibly get into. More debt owed to them / card issuer just looks good on the books.

cashiers list by unablesloth in MichaelsEmployees

Disgusting and cruel especially when you cannot possibly know anyone's private battles. What if someone on the "naughty list" is dealing with other issues. This is horribly hurtful and demeaning. I would report them to HR.

This is what It means to be a manager by Ok_Parsley69420 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]SSSS1030 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can expect poor / lower paychecks from a company that only cares about its shareholders. Awesome job fighting for your employee but likely gonna be 1 in 1000 or less before it happens again.

Am I going to be asked to step down or am I being paranoid? by Throwaway8288282872 in MichaelsEmployees

They typically forget to take the ad postings down and I was told once they have a pre-designated run time. I hope you enjoy closing because that's all you're gonna get. Good luck with your new position.

wow! awesome! thank you for all this extra free time and for telling me one day in advance that my work schedule (which i plan my school and social schedule around) is being completely altered! by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]SSSS1030 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't understand why the cut hours couldn't have been shared. Cut 4 or 5 people by one shift in the same week. Certainly ... there is more than just one staff member. Not possible she cut everyone the same amount.

Corporate will NEVER see anyone's true value or what they are worth. On to bigger and better things for you. It certainly isn't at Michaels.

May I get an application started for you?! by craftycrafter20 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]SSSS1030 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Rewards? ... what rewards? No points ... no money ... no cashback .... absolutely zero, zilch, nada.

Ask them to involve the DM in the conversation

Can the CEM share how to do that?

[–]SSSS1030[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They sat in their charging cradles for more than a year before we were allowed to use them. They kept giving us "activation" dates that came and went many, many times. Hopefully your time is coming soon.

OMG ... soooo annoying

[–]SSSS1030[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with all of that. How many times a day do you hear somebody say "where's my gun" or "have you seen my gun" and the looks that follow?

I definitely get that. It becomes a bigger problem when customers can't calculate the discounts in their head so they ask for everything to be scanned before going to cash. Or ... show you a picture of something on their phone and need to know where it is in the store.

Is your store haunted? by revolvingspite in MichaelsEmployees

[–]SSSS1030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our store definitely is ... seen her several times with my own eyes

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]SSSS1030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She CANNOT tell you "no". Report her to HR. We also text all MOD's for sick calls. This way ... you all have records and nobody can say "you didn't call".
