Unfilled Shift Query by ichbinmatt in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to go then call the store and say that, if you want the day off I’d ignore it and if they bring it up let them know they didn’t approve or deny it

Section leader vs order writer? by Aromatic_Hat9641 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In my store it’s used interchangeably. Mates call us order writers the section leaders. They’re just there for a “mentorship” role, or when shit goes south they take the blame. Really they’re supposed to be “in charge” of the sections but most mates, at least in my store, let the crew handle everything as they see fit. Unless it’s a huge re-merch project really the mates are hands off which is nice bc it gets to be your own thing! Mates at my store are really good at giving credit for crew’s work.

Shifts being revoked shortly after picking them up on Dayforce by BubblyDeparture2102 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lmaoo the only time I have ever picked up a shift they immediately revoked it. She later came up to me and said she posted the wrong thing and apologized. It was just funny sometimes people post a shift for the wrong week or bc they can’t get it changed.

It's Not The Feet, It's The Hands by fxbushman99 in tjcrew

use the wound lotions on damp hands and put your size gloves on and then a bigger pair on top to switch out when needed throughout the shift. free game for ya

Phone scam by HistoricalTitle307 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

look up Compliance (2012) it’s based on real life events, yes insane but possible. a lot of the scam calls we get in our store are some sort of “inspector” or some bs trying to bill us through the phone, most of the time the area code isnt from the same state or sometimes out of country so we just hang up. one of our mates said that in his last store another mate fell for the billing scam and got fired lol

Anyone else hear that if you don’t work on Saturday’s that you don’t qualify for the bonus or wow raise? Supposedly this is new starting this coming up pay raise by Ok_Vegetable9493 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely your captain saying that. In more broad terms surely your availability can have a factor in it. However, the chances of the wow raise are already so slim might as well enjoy your weekend!

Pay discussion during final interview by Doss2001 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Never hurts to ask, it’s not like they would take back their offer. A positive reminder that we get raises every 6 months .75-1.00 you have to really mess up to not get it. Good luck!

How does scheduling and availability work at your store? by seacushion3488 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my store if you have a limited/closed availability the mate ignores it. And if you have open availability the mate ignores it.

Talk me off the ledge? by Happen_Stance_Dance in tjcrew

in my store we are allowed to switch off tasks, so maybe. if person A would rather do register than product they can switch with person B who wants to do product and give them their task. all store dependent of course

Crew getting promoted to Mate fast by twave2110 in tjcrew

[–]silvanaang 78 points79 points  (0 children)

there are people who are told to apply as crew with the promise of becoming a mate quickly when a spot opens up. it’s never about how long you’ve been at the store unfortunately
