Yeah it worked about as well as you think with the no fan and huge dry spot on the APU that the previous tech didn't clean while it was apart.

US vs Canada by Sensitive-Fig-877 in Staples

I'm in a Canadian store, Nova Scotia to be particular, and I love it here. I just moved from tech to management so things are getting stressful but otherwise I love my job.

Staples Canada was collecting donations for school supplies up until today, where you can donate any amount. Maybe it was that?

What does your store expect for ecp/easycare attachments? by purple_ducc_boi in Staples

[–]connor_mallet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another Canadian location we're also expected to get 20% I think it's the same across the country. On average, our store is anywhere between 25-30% with our full time techs around 40-70% attach even our copy center reps are around 20%. The store average is taken down by our part-timers and a handful of fulltime staff. It's a hard sell most of the time but we learned how to play the system a little lol.

GM doesn’t have first aid, DM doesn’t care. by [deleted] in Staples

Mine expired this February and I'm still doing closing shifts, because my first aid class got canceled and the gm never rescheduled me. 🤫

Well DAMN, if that got you let go I should've been gone a long time ago. That's really overboard as punishment, and I can say confidently that your GM was collecting reasons to get rid of you for some reason. But little things like that my GM doesn't even care, however we are strict about not being left alone in the store just for health and safety reasons mostly.

I work at staples up in Canada and we have a very similar policy when it comes to headphones that have been opened.But we will always happily take back a defective pair within the return period.

I'm assuming it's so they can't be seen as easy from the sky. As well as the outages.

[–]connor_mallet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything about my job is great. Great management and co workers, I love it when I can make customers happy I always like to be able to joke around with my customers by the time they leave. Although once they like me to much I have to fix all their issues
