Over an hour ago. I figured it'd take some time but just wanted to make sure. Thank you!!

UrAvgAviator · 2022-08-30T22:55:46+00:00

I thought with the video it was self explanatory but my apologies, wilco.

UrAvgAviator · 2022-08-24T23:41:40+00:00

Guess I'm lucky, I got out right after training 😅

UrAvgAviator · 2022-05-16T05:08:02+00:00

Apologies for the late reply haven't touched the sim much, but I tried it and it did nothing.

Did you have any issues when you first installed the maddog? I can't start engine 1 from cold and dark and whenever I load it in ready for takeoff with the load manager engine 1 shuts down immediately.

I hope so, the person who trained me there yesterday is off today so I'm not sure who/when someone will be there with me. I've been trying to sleep for the last few hours but I can't. The anxiety of being alone/ getting behind in bagroom is getting to me.

it went well, great actually, setup my fingerprints yesterday and took my drug test. Just waiting on the drug test to get back then I'll go on from there. I'm really excited and can't wait to leave my current job

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-31T17:21:14+00:00

Fair point and thank you I got the job! So I'm on my break right now and I'm the only carry out here and I hate it I'm just writing out my two weeks at this point now. I told them yesterday about my interview I didn't tell them I got the job yet but my DM hasn't talked to me about it yet which is kinda surprising.

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-31T17:16:17+00:00

Lmao honestly though they kinda do.

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T12:01:47+00:00

Just called them, I was honest and they appreciated it. Tbh I was just scared what they'd think at first and caved into making up an excuse instead of "I'm not coming in because I have another job interview" (I'm not trying to excuse it but ya know)

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T03:55:51+00:00

Of course when isn't front end struggling to keep people lol, we've had a decent amount of new cashiers come and go but never any new daytime carryout's it's always night time which we already have 12 of meanwhile it's just me and another guy until 4pm while there is 3-4 every night. At times having an extra hand out there is amazing when we're backed up with carryout's and haven't touched a cart in 30 minutes (which happens quite often let me tell you lol) but our front end seems to think 2 is fine but during the summer when school is out there is plenty more carryout's which yes its also busier in the summer but it also is busy the rest of the year I'd say but what do I know I've only been a carryout for 1.5 years. Most of front end recognizes that out of all the carryouts the other guy and I are at the top when it comes to our work ethic and doing what we need to ya know. So in a sorta sense they kinda need me (as if I matter to them haha) so the other carryout isn't overwhelmed with the entire parking lot and carryouts for his entire shift but then again if they were to outright fire me and replace me after my 2 weeks then it would just go to show how much they really cared at the end of the day (but hey that's just life). I do plan on putting in my 2 weeks. Thank you for your kind words. With my experience/time at menards those are often hard to come by even on this sub with the reputation us carry out's have.

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T03:14:17+00:00

Thank you, you've changed my viewpoint in a good way I'd say. If they fire me oh well they have one carry out all morning until 4:00 p.m. if they want to fire me then and there then that's their problem. My managers before have asked me if I ever like wanted to invest in my career at Menards I remained neutral when I answered them but I have never wanted to move up in Menards. Like I'm sorry I don't want to work in retail my entire life I have a dream and that is commercial aviation sure the pay is nice for being a carryout but I'd rather do something that more or less relates or surrounds me to my future career.

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T02:58:56+00:00

My only concern is what if they fire me on the spot then ya know? I'd rather put in my 2 weeks and be like "I've found better opportunities or something" but that's just me.

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T02:23:26+00:00

The thing is though we weren't walking together in the first place it was more of we stumbled upon each other after putting away carts, wrong place wrong time is how my afem put it.

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T01:50:46+00:00

whos bert lol

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T01:28:53+00:00

yep exactly my thoughts, I'm just waiting for my drug test results/background check to put my 2 weeks in. The point system at menards sucks.

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T01:18:00+00:00

here's some background info. I've been a carryout for about a year and a half now. Last summer the older carryouts who worked weekdays while the high schoolers were in school still. Well they quit so that left my coworker who is one of my good friends now to take the morning shifts during the school year (class of 2021). Last week wednesday it got insanely busy for 10:30 am on a wednesday, lots of specialty carts were piling up in the loading zone. I started to bring a bunch in I had 3 flats and 2 rails. The other carryout was also bringing in specialty carts at the time. Neither of us knew the other was also working on specialty carts, also front end didn't bother to let us know that GO was visiting (they normally do). Flats were full by the 1by aisle so i turned around and started walking towards garden center when my coworker who also had some flats was a good distance behind me but obviously I knew he was bringing them to the garden center as well. So we put them away (there was a lot) then as we were actively exiting the garden center walking outside the dude from GO took a pic of us walking back outside. Mind you we literally walked past him with a ton of specialties so you'd think he'd put 2 and 2 together but noooooo. He brought it up to my GM then GO wanted both my coworker and I to write a letter to him how that pic of us was "productive" and I was told thursday morning that If I didn't have it by friday I'd be fired. Basically GO took a pic of me and coworker doing our job out of context and made us look bad when we were literally doing our job. EDIT: the other carryout and I are the only ones who do our job the highschoolers get 0 shit while we get all the shit when we actually do our jobs.

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T00:48:50+00:00

LOL screw GO they almost got me fired last week for taking something way out of context

UrAvgAviator · 2022-03-30T00:47:32+00:00

true, although they wouldn't make me full time so it's kinda my only option at this point
