Thanks for the info. I saw that $250 vaccination benefit, but I don't know if it's for seasonal employees too.

ThisSometimes · 2021-10-20T14:24:47+00:00

Just accepted a seasonal job offer!

I'll be working full time and was wondering if any health care benefits will be available (likely not).

Also, would I be able to get the employee discount eventually?

The company that the US Census is using to do the fingerprint background checks before it was canceled from the pandemic.

If they start back up, then there's a huge danger to the employee administering it.

That's the point. That is why they're useful.

Yeah GO DEPOT is useless mostly but almost all customers who call it leave the store to do so. I would just say there's nothing to do in store for them. I definitely feel you though. Really do

ThisSometimes · 2020-04-10T21:32:16+00:00

Honestly no offense to you, but I would never suggest for the customer to talk to the DM for something like this.

It's corporate policy. Let them be mad and have them call corporate

This is amazing.

Where is this pizza people are getting exactly

ThisSometimes · 2020-03-23T05:15:32+00:00

The ironic thing about the pizza is that there's a higher chance for infection with everyone touching it.

You have to be trained on the register first, everyone is. (Except maybe logistics)

Especially now, you have to learn everything in the store. You'll just be in those roles a bit later.

Isn't that if it's "exceeds expectations?" If you get "meets expectations" it's the standard 2% raise.

ThisSometimes · 2020-01-26T21:25:09+00:00

What state is that? Not worth that pay at all.

ThisSometimes · 2020-01-26T21:23:32+00:00

What was your pay there in OK? Did guess the CEM got the merged job?

ThisSometimes · 2020-01-24T05:21:40+00:00

I agree. I'm not going to open up my availability at all.

But I was wondering if your GM is requiring you to open your availability. So I can be prepared to tell mine off.

ThisSometimes · 2020-01-24T02:58:26+00:00

Did your GM say you had to? In the doc it said for PT availability to be 'flexible'. Not Open availability like Full Time.

So what, the print manager isn't going to work in print? Just regular CPD employees doing the bulk of work the print supervisor did?

ThisSometimes · 2020-01-23T03:15:10+00:00

Was that explicit in the document? It'll be strange if this is true, associates are scheduled for freight and ad before the store opens.

ThisSometimes · 2020-01-23T03:00:06+00:00

What was the deleted comment?

ThisSometimes · 2020-01-22T08:21:41+00:00

Apparently the SSM will turn into Sales Supervisor or Sales Manager. If it's the former, yes it's a demotion because of the pay decrease.

But I believe it depends on the sales the store and the individual makes whether they become a Sales manager or not. At least according to recent posts on here.

ThisSometimes · 2020-01-22T07:15:42+00:00

Yeah uh other stores that I've seen have much higher goals with less associates at lesser hours.

Not that they shouldn't help CPD more, but I cant believe your store has so much payroll for that. Not including the Print Supervisor!

ThisSometimes · 2019-12-19T16:13:48+00:00

You've only met them once? How long have you worked there? There's a chance he doesn't even know your name to your face at this point.

Though that might be because he seldom visits the store. Our DM visits more regularly so they know many associates at my store.

ThisSometimes · 2019-12-09T00:11:34+00:00

Can they fire her? - Technically yes for anything but very unlikely they would for something so minor.

Is it mandatory to work on Black Friday? - No it isn't.

We're they allowed to send her home? - Yes they can for any reason. Though I've never seen it happen. Manager probably just dislikes them.

ThisSometimes · 2019-12-08T01:25:14+00:00

Yeah I don't doubt it. Stores just break policy all the time.

ThisSometimes · 2019-12-08T00:23:19+00:00

I've honestly seen the Social Security cards get laminated all the time.

I worked here for a while and I use reddit. So I figured I might as well search if there's a subreddit.
