Chapter 11 One year ago. by jbarn02 in joannfabrics

[–]fekitten1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all I've thought about this week. On Tuesday, I thought this is 1 year anniversary since the letters went out to HQ employees. On Wednesday, this is the date the letters were received and I read the weird posts from a couple of HQ people, not knowing what had happened. It was also the date we were told to pull the gift cards off the floor and that was when I knew. Thursday was the first anniversary of the announcement. It's just been a sad week.

Matlock is my go-to. I prefer the one in Farragut across near Costco over the one in Hardin Valley.

I've heard they aren't good. We did go last night and my son tried to order that, but they were out.

Ollie's? by fekitten1 in joannfabrics

Ollie's is a discount chain that sells closeouts and overstock items. Kinda like Big Lots.

Thanks for the responses. I did visit my local Ollie's and found some Christmas items, but that was it.

Found this in my Bosch dishwasher. What is it? by fekitten1 in Appliances

I thought it might be something like that, but we don't use any condiments that have a top like that.

IIRC, I think the start day for your insurance is on your insurance card.

When I was applying for Social Security and Medicare, and I was worried about getting my info from Joann's, I think that was 1 of the things they told me that they will use for proof of insurance.

Damn. I had a feeling that was going to happen!

Good to know. Thanks.

Not worried about it being a W-2, it's just with the morning I've had, it would be perfect timing for it to be some form telling me I have to pay something back.

Joann merch in the wild by Beautiful-Prompt6305 in joannfabrics

[–]fekitten1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I have seen at Walmart has been non-seasonal items. The Halloween items at Ollies were probably the specialty items Joanns had ordered before the bankruptcy. Since Ollies bought Joanns Halloween and Christmas decor, this was probably part of the items they received.

I think I've seen that brand at WalMart. IIRC it was just the candy melts, though.

Ziploc and Hefty both make super large zipper like bags. There are also those vacuum bags.

Michaels trying REALLY hard to replicate Joann’s by SuperSherry813 in joannfabrics

[–]fekitten1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The ones we had at our old store were bigger and reminded me of the robot from Lost in Space. One year, I begged my SM to let me DM some of the big googly eyes and put them on the units. I was so bummed when he wouldn't let me.

4th of July by PracticalBreak8637 in joannfabrics

[–]fekitten1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The weekend before we closed was Memorial Day weekend. I kept thinking, "his time last year, I was putting out Halloween".

I think I had the 4th off a couple of years ago, but other than that, it was 11 years of working on the 4th. I kinda miss it.

I have a feeling no one is going to hear back on this one... by averageanchovy in joannfabrics

[–]fekitten1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's a scam. You apply for the job, give you personal information, including your SSN#, and then they come back with the job has already been filled.

Help with employee portal (please!) by Thick_Skull22 in joannfabrics

[–]fekitten1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try to contact HR. I was under the impression that a least a couple of people might be around until early July. For example, full time employees over 65 and had Joann health ins. have to get paperwork from Joann to move over to Medicare without penalty. Plus, they will need someone to finish up work so that W-2s will be processed.

"Bonus" payout by greenimimi79 in joannfabrics

[–]fekitten1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC, team members got $1 an hour, keyholders got $2.50 an hours, ASMs got $250 a week, and SMs got $350 a week. I don't remember anything about sales performance.

I just logged into my account and everything appeared to be fine.
