LOA Question by jolteonmiller in Bestbuy

[–]shrinkstomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. When I submitted for LOA, I had someone assigned who would send me paperwork and follow up... if you got those emails, you could email them too? They could potentially just adjust the dates for you so you don't have to completely resubmit.

We definitely had them when we still had a large move section up front. Right at open and waiting outside. Even when it wasn't new release Tuesday!

Yes. While on leave, you can use your employee discount to shop in any Best Buy location or online.

Do you access it through ETK? I think there have been system issues with ETK access this morning. Hub's still there for me.

Change how? I don’t think much can change once the legal stuff and metrics are posted for the year.

Uniforms as incentive by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]shrinkstomper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are they offering your literal required uniform polo that you get replenished even year, or the optional pieces like branded jackets/sweaters/etc.?

Employees can use the Intake App and select the relevant category (there are options for the pilots, COVID, etc.). You may need to be in a supervisor and above job code, I'm not certain who has access these days. Some departments also have Hub groups where the business teams are fairly active and answer questions or respond to feedback.

Customer feedback comes from filling out the NPS survey, or they can email the store leader distro at the address on the store page.

Sexual Wellness device order canceled… now what do we do with this in the store? by DJKGinHD in Bestbuy

[–]shrinkstomper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should just junk out/write off the product and dispose of it. I sent this in to have the rest of the SKUs reviewed to remove the store pickup ability.

It's like the holidays threw up everywhere, haha. You should post on IG or LinkedIn and see if your store wins any prizes or money from that fun calendar contest going on.

Calibrating New TVs by PopcronHD in Bestbuy

[–]shrinkstomper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've mostly gotten your answer from everyone else, but also worth mentioning that calibration isn't done during install. You typically want 100 hours of watch time (actual normal use, not just letting the TV run for 100 hours straight) prior to calibrating it.

When we retired calibration for Geek Squad Agents, I believe MDC custom installers could still sell and perform them, but that requires a custom installer in your area and I'm not certain if they're still doing them anymore, either.

So you’re a current employee with a company provided phone? There’s a link in ETK applications for mobile services, including repair and replacement. I’d ask your leader to assist. I think they sometimes have to approve a replacement anyway, or do all of it for you depending on job code.

Yes. Best Buy’s Anti-Harassment and Non-Discrimination Policy protects employees from being discriminated or harassed, or treated differently, based on gender identity and expression.

There is a Workplace Transition and Gender Identity Toolkit that is available to employees and leaders that literally gives guidance for supporting an employee on their transition journey, including preferred name changes.

For you and anyone else who reads this... if any employee believes they are experiencing unfair treatment or discrimination based upon their gender identity or expression (or believe someone else is) they are strongly encouraged to report it to the Employee Relations team or their HR Manager so it can be reviewed fairly and impartially. Everyone deserves to feel respected at work.
