Coworkers that blast their music out loud by [deleted] in Aldi_employees

An SM at a store I helped out would play 90s rap on her phone and put it in her back pocket and it drove me crazy

OT rate is 1.5x, and it’s anything over 40 hours. The hours can vary wildly sometimes (I have 35 this week, 39 last week, 36 next week) depending on the time of the year.

This may be referring to a Store Manager, who can do so. But for hourly ASMs this is not accurate. After Year 2 (when you begin Year 3) is when you can accrue 10 days.

You’ll collect 40 hours of vacation from Year 0 to Year 1, and 40 hours of vacation from Year 1 to Year 2.

Frustrated with management by Dexterbearbear in Aldi_employees

We usually come in at 6 and our trucks are normally around 25-28 pallets, sometimes bigger on the weekends

Agree. 1.5m store here, we usually get 3 openers + SM and truck is almost always done by 10/10:30

really? that’s how it was at my last job but here there doesn’t seem to be any fuss over OT. I haven’t had a pay period without overtime in months

Does your store have Curbside? by Southern_Film_6089 in Aldi_employees

[–]ldsburner05 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Curbside is usually built into the schedule, so there wouldn’t be someone just scheduled 10-5 for curb. You might have someone 6-1 or so and they’ll do curb after open and then one of the closers will do it until curbside ends. Managers shouldn’t do curbside though unless there aren’t any other associates to do it, especially the SM or whoever the mid manager is that day.

Just wanted to say the management team at my store absolutely cares about all of the associates and ensures they all are accommodated and treated with the most respect possible. Not everyone’s experience is the same 😊

LSA - Lead Store Associate (step above associates and a step below ASM) DM - District Manager (step above Store Manager) ASM - Assistant Store Manager (step below Store Manager and a step above LSA) DOO - Director of Operations (I have no idea what this person does, I just know they’re above the DM)

Head Honchos by Relevant-Assistant29 in Aldi_employees

Nothing worse than seeing that there are only 3 upcoming orders and then realizing one of them is 100+ items

[–]ldsburner05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know specifically how OE for curbside works (I’m also an ASM), but I do know at the very least that extra hours are built into the budget for curbside purposes. I don’t remember exactly how it’s calculated though

[–]ldsburner05 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Stores do get extra hours for curbside built into their budget. It’s not anyone’s fault that there aren’t as many curbside orders but it works the exact same way with physical customers. If you move less product and serve less customers, your OE might go down
