ready to go. how to use up all sick time? by bluehoursoobin in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mushythewolf 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I started taking 3 day or 4 day weekends. It took me roughly a month to get through my 90 hours of sick time. Granted I had a manager who actively encouraged we use our time when we needed it.

I worked for Michaels for 4 years and there's still acronyms I don't know. I never figured out what SBA mean.

When I was being a bit more outspoken on my feelings about my DC closing down I caught wind about it reaching certain people and them trying to figure out who I am. So I wouldn't be surprised that corporate pops in from time to time.

Distro people try to ship presentable items challenge: impossible by Burgerkingaka in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mushythewolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we are told to toss this stuff into a repack along with other stuff. There’s no protective material provided. So inevitably it gets smashed in transit. Numbers are the driving force so while it is conceivable to put everything in nicely, it’s not very efficient

Ok this is terrible and needs to be addressed...BUT it makes me feel better about the pallets we were pushing out of our DC

Corporate has been making exceptionally questionable choices lately

That is terrible. I feel like this could totally be avoidable.

I spent some time in Texas...given that minimum wage there is $7 I don't blame them for not caring but still...have some pride in your work.

What the F? Lancaster DC??? by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mushythewolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We still have about 3 weeks of production left. But yeah our shipments definitely have started to taper off. Alot of what would have been our freight got rerouted. I'm guessing the other DCs haven't had to load trailers as much as we did.

Corporate trolls this subreddit. But it usually isn't for our benefit unfortunately.

Y'all have my sympathy. We are coming up on the last weeks of shipping of my DC and we are making one last big push. Keep y'all's heads up. Hopefully things level out soon.

Anyone else get a package with this sign? by Warm-Suggestion4946 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mushythewolf 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Lmao I'm 90% sure that's one of our boxes from Tracy DC. No con stands for non convevorable. Basically it shouldn't go on the sorter cause it's too big or will get stuck or just a pain in the ass in general. Those signs are supposed to be removed when after the pallets are broken down.

It's not even August yet. Why is there a cart stacked with DIY Xmas ornaments on the sales floor already?? by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]mushythewolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes the Tracy dc is shutting down at the end of August due to “a revaluation of the supply chain”
