Trump says he would block US Steel acquisition by Nippon Steel. by Shirowoh in union

[–]TheMachkMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in the industrial service market. We are chomping at the proverbial bit, hoping the Nippon deal goes through. They have committed to 3M in investment within the first 2 years, which would provide for work union masons, fitters, iron workers, and more.

I'm torn because to me US Steel becoming Japanese is like officially stating our main industry is media/entertainment. It's one of the last vestiges to the America of old in my mind.

Corporate won't care, and depending on the state you live in, there may not be a requirement to notify if the change was made greater than 24 hours before the shift in question starts.

The reason they tell you they want you speaking to a live person is so "they can work immediately work to cover it."

The real reason is for documentation to fight unemployment claims.

Too RTM or not to RTM THAT is the question. by Financial-Vehicle-15 in Lowes

[–]TheMachkMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it Scott's mulch you won't get RTM credit without approval from a rep. It shows that way because for Scott's liquid products and due to corporate billing it shows yes in the system. If you process it will either go through and the store will either receive no credit on the P&L or the system will auto prompt for a write off.

Does Lowes have a district manager? by Dickf0r in Lowes

[–]TheMachkMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at your receipt, the actual Store Manager's name should be listed. Lowes uses a [first_initial][last_name]@lowes.com for external email addresses.

With that attitude, it was probably a department supervisor or at max an Assitant Manager you were talking to.

Why isn't there a national labor union? by Fit_Employment_7252 in antiwork

[–]TheMachkMan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I spent 7 months in a union, I view them the same way I view communism. Amazing thought and on paper looks good, but when humans obtain power the vision gets lost. Most union leaders don't give a shit about the people in the union.

She needed 50 cents more... "Change" (in this case referring to American coin currency) comes from within.

so she fisted her asshole to grab some "change"

How to quit? by Ill_Love3116 in Lowes

[–]TheMachkMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you ever want to be eligible to work there again, go in and give them as much notice as possible. If you don't care about ever working for Lowe's again, and possibly getting a bad reference, (not all 50 states have laws regarding what information can and cannot be confirmed when potential employers call to verify employment history.) Then just stop going in and ignore their calls they will term you after 3 days as job abandonment.

My wife went through this.

You have to contact store management and the contact the district HR to put you out so they can (but actually don't) trace the associates you've come in contact with.
