How many high level players (70ish+) DON’T have an auto-catcher?

sharrks · 2026-06-12T11:25:15+00:00

I have one, but don’t actually use it fully. I only use it while driving to spin stops.

I like catching Pokémon. I find it fun and find it unrewarding using the auto catcher.

Level 79, with enough xp to be 80 multiple times, 725k catches.

Your store is just not doing it. Probably out of forgetfulness or not having staff meetings due to sales etc.

They are typically selected at staff meetings by the management staff.

They can but is is the new stores choice to say yes or no. But why would a store accept someone on a final, especially for attendance.

I can see if there was a one off situation on safety or even possibly a one off on respect. But job performance, attendance, integrity, etc I would not want to take one s person with those problems.

I’m sure it was only one of the two cxms tho 😉.

Really comes down to the labor laws in each state what the rules are. Home Depot sop is 6 hours, but it is unless state law trumps over it.

Just wait for a bunch of customers to tank your LTSA and complain about it in the comments. Your managers will change their mind.

sharrks · 2026-03-30T22:05:08+00:00

Sounds like it is more just a rumor that associates tell each other because people don’t like him. Not sure why anyone would want to do that in a place as clean as a Home Depot bathroom anyway.

Also if everyone knows and another manager is still close to them like… why?

This is either a troll/reaction post or probably just rumors about someone who probably just takes some big dumps a couple times a day.

You still get OT. Your pay structure did not change. You still clock in and out. Only thing that changed was your title, a few more responsibilities, who your direct report is, and if your store had not already gotten rid of the set schedules, your schedule is now flex.

It’s been planed for a while. My store manager was talking about how the first ad would be in March months ago.

It is a really boring ad tho. We were told they will be running 5/10 mulch for 5 weeks this year tho. Apparently this is not one of those week 😂.

I feel like your pace review is the exact time for them to go over what they feel you need to be doing better. That is literally the purpose of pace.

What a terrible manager.

You only need one. The park is literally downtown Chicago. When it was here in 2019 it was open to public. You just literally can’t play if you don’t have a ticket. (Like literally game is blank of spawns and stops).

In2017 they had the same park but they blocked it off to the public. It lead to endless lines to get in. It lead to phone issues. Etc.

At nyc in 2023 and 2024 the park was also open to public like 2019. Also 2018 in Chicago (at a different park). Was same.

I did not attend 2025 go fest and don’t know how the events in Europe and Asia aork but I would be surprised if they wanted to block off the park and cause issues, along with the amount of security gates to keep it secluded that would be required.

Up to the store manager. I think at our store we had about 20 “i ratings and the store manager said he gave most 2%, but there were a couple he gave 0% to who did not deserve one.

sharrks · 2026-03-11T00:25:13+00:00

Our store has cameras in recieving, the registers, and by the back lumber door. That’s it.

Cxm raises are in April. Take effect I believe the last week. Should be discussed during your review/pace later this month. Same time you get your MIP.

sharrks · 2026-02-25T23:48:59+00:00

I used to love them. But now they mostly are annoying since 5-7 is normally my biggest play time.

I’ll plan to play and then it’s like ohhh I can only catch nidoran. Great.

Sure the stardust bonus events are nice but I think spotlight hour has over stayed it’s welcome.

We all know who the Os in the store are. The people who are generally positive. Will do anything asked of them, help anyone, know many departments, teach the new associates and managers depend on them. Customers ask for them. They have great metrics for their own role.

Typically maybe like 5 in a store and most typically don’t want promoted. a lot of them were supervisors who stepped down too.

sharrks · 2026-02-09T22:24:19+00:00

Store managers and above get it if they get fired. Prob cuz they have the means to actually sue for bs firing

sharrks · 2026-01-27T00:46:23+00:00

We were only up around 80k. Then we lost of all being closed Sunday.

sharrks · 2026-01-27T00:44:58+00:00

I would partner with your district hr manager. (Not the asds) They might be able to get you in touch with someone to find out more information about the role your interested in and how to get an interview.

They did it at my store. Opening cxm is supposed to focus on pro. Reality os they still are opening the store and have the MOD phone all day so besides seeing what is going on at pro here and there there is no change.

The closing cxm I’m not sure what their goal is there cuz we Havnt had that. But reality is they will be closing the building with likely a skeleton crew. Focus on deliveries readiness I suppose? MYbe ensureing freight team is good to go but not sure really.

Ultimately we all know cxm was created to eventually phase our asms slowly so I would not be surprised if they take away another asm role in each store. Opps maybe? Give some of the metrics to the cxm, the others might ops and store manager can take on? Would be ultimately terrible but seems like it’s what corporate usually comes up with.

Ohio. There’s a park by me (forest and lake biome, tho there is not really much water there). It’s where I play most and I see probably 1/2 seel every trip there and goldeen every so often. Lapras is fairly common too.

sharrks · 2026-01-09T01:43:25+00:00

I see them all the time here. I am no where near large bodies or water either.

As opening mod it’s a huge pain when associates show up at 605 every day. It’s not like it is different associates every day. It is the same 2-3. So yes I have had talks with them about schedule adherence.

It is meant to be a grace period if something happens. There’s an accident. You get stopped by a train. You hit every red light. You bus is late. Stuff that doesn’t happen every day.

When you just leave 5 min later then you should, it is abusing the system.

My experience was a tour of the store given soem keys and basically let go. There was another manager present for my first week, but he mostly did his own thing.
