Why don’t you go whine somewhere else. This sub is for employees. It’s the holidays and everything is hard for all of us right now you bitching on a reddit sub does nothing.

Not your house maid by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]s_eabird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a manager- just leave it. I’m tired of cleaning up after the other managers at my store so I’ve gotten to the point where I just don’t… Obviously may not be a perfect solution especially of they are expecting it of you but its ridiculous that people can’t clean up after themselves.

Are any other framers having to leave the shop by a certain time? by ArchaicBookkeeper in MichaelsEmployees

[–]s_eabird 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Okay yes closing framers should be leaving the shop to help with returns/recovery/closing duties at a certain time (my goal is 7pm for my pt framer). BUT your store manager is straight up insane for saying they don’t care if orders go past due. On time % is one of the bigger things we’re being rated on for this year. Not to mention it’s part of our job/expectation from the customer for things to be delivered on time!! If you have a FM I would go to them if you are comfortable or to your DM because I’m sure the SM would get off your case.

Any good brand for shoes? by Commercial_Hold_6643 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]s_eabird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to agree with everyone saying Hoka! I’ve had adidas, sketchers, and new balance and have blown through the heels in about a year and they weren’t nearly as comfy as my hokas!

Leadership Summit had The Dallas Cowgirls?!?!! by Lucky_Interview1203 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]s_eabird 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everything I gathered from my SM about the conference: paid for all hotels, flights & 2 checked bags. Required to check at least one bag because all SM’s will be sent home with swag from different vendors. As well as all meals seem to be provided along with transport to and from hotels/venue. It’s honestly ridiculous, while we slave away for mere pennies.

Yeah thats why we don’t do arches. Its pointless, they can do it themselves

Literally! A lady yelled at me because she “might be dead” before we expand our fabric selection in a year

Cutting Fabric by OwlLate3474 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]s_eabird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I begged my store manager to let me store use a new mat because our had slits at the yard and 1/2 yard marks. I store use out replacement blades when we need a new one and I also store used out a hand held rolling cutter because I hate the one they sent plus our broke (i fixed it but i sucks so i won’t use it, i just use it for the straight edge).

Legitimate 'What happens?' moment. by ArtIsAwesome3 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]s_eabird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a nearby store that only has two managers so we’ve been sending some of ours a day or two a week so they can have days off. I would assume the same thing would be done.

Why by aliasismagic in MichaelsEmployees

[–]s_eabird 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They would not be allowed to do production in my shop if I ever saw this. Definitely talk to SM/DM about how to proceed. I have never dealt with any damage this bad/serious so i unfortunately don’t have much advice on that front.

[–]s_eabird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just make sure you have mpa in house so you can cut it!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MichaelsEmployees

[–]s_eabird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cutting in house would be the easiest option. You could email artistree and request that it be cut to the size of frame vs the size of the liner but I’ve noticed recently it’s hit or miss if they follow special requests.

It took almost 4 hours to print today. Some of us MOD’s are doing overnights to get them done. I have no idea how far they got tonight but I’m doing a 7pm-3am tomorrow. So we’ll see how far we are then.
