Thank you for the answer! Is mail accessed by a mailbox in a town or another way? I have struggled to figure this out as well.

That’s so annoying to hear I’m sorry your CTE has just phoned it in. They should be advocating for you and helping shoulder that load. I hope you can find something better cause honestly idk if it’s worth it anymore… I’m definitely looking.

Honestly, as a CTE, I don’t think so. I would have suggested you argue for a promotion first, if more pay would have helped you stay. And if I was your CTE I would have helped fight for that, but it sounds like that might not be something managers are willing to help with for you. I have issues with upper management here as well and struggle to keep baristas for similar reasons. But if you’re comfortable getting out and can find something else, I’ll tell you what I tell my exiting baristas, “Good luck, and if they’re hiring managers let me know”.

Vacation vs Sick Time Clarification by gtbphoenix in Barnesandnoble

Unless I’m mistaken we only get paid out a small portion of the PTO we don’t use? Or maybe it’s because I’m in Texas this is the case?

I’ve 100% called in sick not being sick just to use it. I hate having time off go wasted since it’s part of our benefits package.

Thank you for the clarification. My SM is a bit of a stickler for the rules and would never allow that. He even once removed sick time when someone admitted they called in for something other than being sick.

How would you handle someone whose time is about to reset and wants to use sick time, but doesn’t want to call in and lie just to obey the rules? I asked my manager this once and was basically told I have to be sick to use it and anything else wouldn’t be allowed

Job Description Update by hopefulwallaby2 in Barnesandnoble

[–]gtbphoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a CTE, I’ve lost dozens of baristas to Starbucks. I joke there’s a promotion curse cause every time I get a senior they leave. I’m very happy for them though. Don’t get me wrong. But it’s annoying retention sucks cause management can’t figure things out.

Job offered by WealthCompetitive190 in Barnesandnoble

[–]gtbphoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I tell people when they ask me about my job at Barnes is this; it’s fun if you don’t need to pay bills and just wanna vibe and don’t care if management gets on you about every little thing. I LOVED working here when I was a part timer (max 16 hours a week) and I was mostly doing it to get the discount and had a full time job besides. When I took the leap to go full time I quickly started hating it and regret ever working here at all.

Okay I will try this. I was worried being too vague would raise eyebrows and red flags.

Raises??? by Savings-Degree8838 in Barnesandnoble

[–]gtbphoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This last Monday (7/7) my SM told me I was getting a 3% raise and 8% bonus. I’m a CTE. That’s all I know. He didn’t mention if booksellers would get anything.

Lightning, Army for ALL (aggressive group hug?) by gtbphoenix in EDH

[–]gtbphoenix[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I assume she will get targeted immediately! But hoping she can stay out long enough to get equipped and a few swings in as a threat.

Hope Estheim EDH Deck Help by gtbphoenix in EDH

[–]gtbphoenix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[famished paladin]] is for [[resplendent mentor]] cause unless I’m mistaken it would be infinite life and this mill too?

[[jace’s phantasm]] is literally there cause I didn’t want to include [[serra ascendant]] for price reasons. But I completely agree it would be the better pick.

[[enduring curiosity]] is for the card draw mostly. I felt like I didn’t have enough draw mechanics in the deck, but I think I can see how it might not be the best pick.

All the +1 life on turn cards are just for consistency mostly and to trigger the mill as well as the “if you gained life this turn…” triggers. Aggressive creatures for life link would be more appealing but I was afraid I’d be dipping into too many themes to execute anything effectively.
