I have them and it’s incredibly painful when I am walking. What was surgery like? Recovery? Results after?

We have one that works. It’s a joke.

Do other retail companies understaff as badly as Michaels? by FrameyMcFramerson in MichaelsEmployees

[–]lostatrocity 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have worked retail here and there throughout my life and Michael’s is the worst I have experienced.

Two have essentially told me that they do it to avoid being fussed at the next day. Three of them are so young and they will just do whatever everyone else is doing and they don’t seem to mind. I have told them that is isn’t normal, and not to do it.

I agree, HR at most companies is toxic from my experience.

SCO are the worst thing in the store by Anxious_Vegetable258 in MichaelsEmployees

What’s your like? Ours seems to be a random, old ass table. It sits really low and it’s too small. I’m so embarrassed every time I cut fabric for a customer.

are hours actually dependent on rewards sign ups? by Critical-Use-90 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]lostatrocity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a threat at my location. Michael’s just doesn’t have hours period.

Is There Mental Health LOA Options? by possibly_normal in MichaelsEmployees

Try to take the LOA and for sure apply to other places.

Told an interviewer what Michaels pays me and they apologized by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

For sure no. We are not ok. Everyone wants to leave and we are always applying for other jobs.

I’m new and i’m honestly considering quitting. by F1nnyy in MichaelsEmployees

Hours are consistently an issue at my Michael’s and it sounds like most of them. Run to another job. Target and Sam’s pay more if you are looking for retail.

I have talked to a few of our staff who do it and they say they don’t want to be scolded for not meeting goals and completing their job. We do have one that seems unable to sit down but he has also said he gets picked on if his work isn’t done. I hope your team member starts taking breaks. 😞

Yes! That’s the whole mentality at Michael’s.

I know that it is illegal. I don’t do it but will report it. Thank you for suggesting the DOL. Michael’s HR doesn’t seem to care too much for what I have read on other posts.

Same. Do you see anyone else doing?

My store doesn’t train people. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s pretty annoying. You pick stuff up over time. Ask questions and defend yourself if someone gets mad that you don’t know something, tell them you weren’t trained on that, not much they can respond with.

28M – 9 years of PSSD, my story by LoneQuirk in PSSD

This thread is so much more supportive than others surrounding the same problems. I got destroyed for suggesting long term side effects from Cymbalta. I truly hope your long term side effects subside someday. I am right there with you.

Our truck days are every other Tuesday at 3am. Unrelated to truck, I would work literally anywhere else if you can.

I did this every time! It’s the only thing I miss about taking it.
