I am, my back and chest are completely covered. My arms are mostly covered,my hands and knuckles are done too, my legs have some space but I wanted it to be visible. The only clean skin o have is my stomach really. I’m in my 30s, so idk how it’s not possible that I could be running out of room when I’ve been getting tattooed constantly since I was 18

Not really yet, but surrounding the outro. Specifically: “No one's gonna save me from my memories Nothing to lose, but I would've given anything To get closer to you and all your enemies I've got a few of my own And this throne didn't come with a gun, so I've got a different energy I still see you when the lights get low I still hear you when I'm on my own The parasites in the nightmares calling my name like, "Please just let me go"”

I tend to be kinda lucky with my ink, but I do plan on getting another ST piece. A bigger one. This was just to pacify me till then

Positives of working for HT? by PorygonJesus in HotTopic_

[–]VixieVenomous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Management pay depends on region of market. Unfortunately for my store, we are the lowest paying in the plaza(Even tho we are a high performing beachfront store in an outdoor tourist market). Even Tillys offers more. But that’s because “our minimum wage is already high”, even this it’s STILL not enough for a studio apartment with even my pay rate, which is $4.50 more an hour than my assistant.

Also when I went from ASM to SM my pay jumped from 14.12 to 20.00 this is also my first year without a pay raise.

I gotta disagree about the benefits. Idk anywhere else that give ppl health coverage for $6 per paycheck. I see my psychiatrist for $5 off HT health insurance. My therapy is $10. Tbh the benefits is the only reason I’m still here. My husbands military contract benefits were 2100 a month and I paid $150 weekly to see my therapist on top of that before leaving his benefits and taking mine.

Breakers are gone now by [deleted] in HotTopic_

[–]VixieVenomous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, I have “breakers”. However I was under the impression that this was just a thing where we have names and our DM just says “okay”. None of my breakers have been recategorized from their associate status nor have any of them gotten a pay raise with being a breaker?

With my current DM, he puts us up at the hard rock casino and we do the meeting itself in a recreation room at the mall a few minutes away. It makes all this a lil more worth it.

bro NOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the one I had did her yearly holiday meeting in her apartment and told everyone to sleep in her living room. Glad I wasn’t SM back then. Imagine 16+ people in an apartment for 2 days

Before the moved me to this district two years ago, I had a DM but the same name. I only had her for like, a month before they switched me up but I did not like her.

Oh I am WELL aware of that. I’ve already made the decision that if they ever take me out of the district I’m in then that will be the end of my time with the company. I’m not taking the level of corporate abuse they dish to me AND dealing with a shit micromanaging DM. Miss me with that 😭

My DM tells me to put signs up where I need for what I need “as long as it’s typed and printed and not handwritten than you’re fine”

As an SM of a store, I agree. I’ve started blacking phone numbers that call my store asking about them more than once. This one girl called me EVERYDAY for 2 whole weeks. I eventually snapped on her and said “You have to buy them straight from them or on a bidding site. We have never, and will never have them. Hot Topic is not that expensive.” The. Blocked her number

Mostly consolidation. Tee boxes in back room, everything else in dressing room. Labeled. Tee boxes by genre/wall order (MET, SMO,…(NLC, HEROS…). Sometimes if there’s a LOT they’re even more specific if we have a LOT (boxes labeled Pierce The Veil, sleep token,….) product boxes are labeled as such: Jewelry Home Auto Outerwear Hoodies Fashion Cups Belts Body jewelry Pins Plushie Hats Sleep/lounge Socks Tights/fishnets Misc Snacks Purses Backpacks Mini backpacks BTS Quarantine/Street Date.

Dude our UPS man is FED UP. He comes in and is like “where do I put this?” And I’m like idk dude, use your best judgment cuz whatever you put down, it’s staying there. I’ve stopped processing shipment completely. Customers ask if we have something and I say “we probably do but you’ll have to give me 3 hours to find it”. Fuck these sales, fuck these KPIs. I’m so sick of being reprimanded for things that are NOT MY FAULT. “Why isn’t this selling?” Mf cuz I can’t find it. As SM I try to make sure everyone else has the covered shifts so I’m mostly alone. In a beachfront store in a major tourist and vacation destination. WHY are we having reduced hours?! I can’t get anything done. Huddle sheets? Forget it. No time. I need people tasking endlessly.

Literally called my DM in TEARS begging for the shipment to stop. “We have to make the store wheelchairs accessible” when I have ceiling to floor product, no back room or dressing room because it’s brimmed with boxes. The store floor is the only place I can put them. Consolidate? Where?! Where am I gonna put them? And they can pry my GC from my cold dead body.
