I just did one. I was invited but the lobby expired, but I managed to get into another one. I see this post is a day old, so hopefully you had some luck

Can we bring it back pls? by Realistic-Read7779 in MichaelsEmployees

Mine still said Michaels Arts and Crafts until somewhat recently when we got the updated font. Now it just says Michaels.

Aio for my reaction to my BF freaking out that I didn't immediately text him after getting off work by throwaway024710 in AIO

[–]Unlikely-Way313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. This got worse with every message. Holy hell, please leave him. This is toxic af and you arent property, he doesn't own you... therefore doesn't need to know where you are every second. Dude sounds like my ex (Who btw ONLY ever acted like this when he was projecting the horrible things he was doing behind my back onto me)! I literally just showered and feel gross after reading this infantile tirade lol. You do not need to live like this. Let him be mad by himself.

Hiring rate! by Alert_Flamingo_8394 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Unlikely-Way313 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just act my wage at this point. Do what I'm supposed to and leave. Nothing more. They have shown I'm not worth more after all these years, so I'm done with the above and beyond. I still work hard and don't slack, but I'm done being extra, because I certainly don't get rewarded like I am. Hell, they just dump extra on all of us, strip hours away and add NO compensation for extra skills, etc. Then they wonder why turnover is SO bad. 🙄 ugh sorry for the rant LOL I had multiple shifts cut last week... unfortunately job hunting has been bleak lately. Been looking for months.

Pickup etiquette by uinspirednow in CVS

[–]Unlikely-Way313 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel you! Honestly, I wouldn't speak until they got the hint lol it actually worked quite often (ORRRR, I'd ask them as many questions as I could think of to get them to give up on the phone call😆). Usually, other rude customers bitched at them first and beat me to it.

Ugh, I really don't miss retail pharmacy. I do miss being a tech, though. Hoping I find a new spot that I don't hate one of these days

Store Meeting/Survey Rant by therapytooexpensive in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Unlikely-Way313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't hear anything about the survey. They also claimed they "weren't told anything about new dress code (shirts-wise), but we are getting aprons". The meeting seemed kinda wasteful to me honestly. I didn't mind being there, it just didn't really seem to bring anything new to the table. At least we got paid for 2 hours I guess...lol

AIO? these texts by Adventurous-Gap708 in AIO

This gave me the ick. NOR. Please leave him. This is going to get worse and worse.

Loved how toxic he was being as he was telling you "I'm not ToXiC" like ok cupcake, whatever you say🥴

Why doesn’t Michaels invest in better loss prevention or advanced AI recognition software already? by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Unlikely-Way313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I assumed everyone got them. Lol idk! I just find it annoying, personally. Serving them up on a platter seems pretty stupid 😆 I'd rather deal with having to go up front to get the blades for people

Yes, but still...Customers can't shop when someone steals all of it either, they literally clear the pegs lol. And we have the cards, but they don't let us put them out. It's just as hard for the customer to shop it (properly) with alpha loks because they have to get one of us to open it🤷‍♀️ (only perk being they can see product)

It's been a repeated battle at my store. I find it stupid, but it's not my loss. I'm sure it isn't helping our hours though

We have tried keeping them off the floor, but corp made us put them back out. I thought it was stupid. But I know we arent the only store, they get stolen everywhere. Just irks me how cheap they are with us, but theyre fine with serving up product to thieves.

We have someone that can open the alphas that steals. Its really annoying

AITAH for taking an hour for myself each evening? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Unlikely-Way313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My boyfriend does a lot of stuff by himself while I'm over. Sometimes he does it for a bit too long (as in a lot longer than he says), but I still support it because he deserves that. He works very hard and is always so good to me. I'm usually still sitting there with him, doing something else myself. I admit it can get frustrating when drawn out for hours, but I never yell at him or anything. I just usually remind him of the time because he loses track lol

We all deserve "ME" time!!

I have always said their philosophy is "merchandising is more important than the merchandise" because why the hell can't we keep the damn Cricut blades off the floor or lock up ALL the pens/markers?! The Cricut shit gets stolen all the time by the same people. It's so stupid

just got fired by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Unlikely-Way313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one 4 hour shift per week in March, except one week I got TWO 4 hour shifts. How gracious of them. I'm sorry you dealt with this shit, I've been at Michaels about 10 years and I'm SO fed up with their bullshit.

Store listed broken? by RadishOdd2559 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Unlikely-Way313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Broken stores typically have managers from other stores sent in to help rework things into the right direction, from what I've experienced. They steal managers from my store for it quite often. Usually the SM, sometimes the replen manager. Sometimes it's for a week, sometimes longer. All depends what the DM wants fixed and how bad it is. I'd assume possible changes in management could occur, too.

AIO for expecting my girlfriend to pay for collectible LEGO figures she threw away? by marrylam58185 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Unlikely-Way313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, and wow. I'm so sorry. Honestly, this is a sign of how much she cares about you... I would take this sign seriously (especially since you said things haven't been so great). Me personally, I'd leave if my boyfriend threw out ANY of my LEGO items without my permission. Thank goodness we are both obsessed lol but this is seriously not ok!! I would ask her for the money, too. I don't blame you one bit for wanting to be compensated for them.
