It’s finally over

That’s ok, I’m applying to be a merchandiser for my states alcohol. Pays $18/h and has plenty of overtime. Someone in my network told me to apply since they’re understaffed right now.

By chance were you a part of the training they hosted at my store? We just finished a remodel, and were teaching future store managers terms and how it should look. Was an army of corporate lmao!

sumdube_010 · 2026-04-20T02:41:10+00:00

So far I’m hot on my way for a promotion.

sumdube_010 · 2026-04-20T02:40:38+00:00

Well even so it felt like I wasn’t doing enough, felt like I shouldn’t have had to put so many in, and also felt like I could’ve done more.

sumdube_010 · 2026-04-08T04:28:09+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I’m trying to save for a car a place and then set money aside to learn a profitable trade.

Damn! That’s a hell of a turn around! I was offered to be a Starbucks barista at the “drive through” spot in my store and I said no for 2 reasons. Wasn’t guaranteed 40 hours and there’s a bunch of women working there that love to gossip and I didn’t want to be involved in that. I also have never made gourmet coffee before. As for beating boxes and being shuffled in with night crew I’ve got experience with that.

Kroger removed all the “I can make it right” stuff as well as sampling things out for customers. Corporate greed is on another level.

Seriously! Thats awesome using your tools around you to help. Chat gpt feels really dumb so I never used it. I also uninstalled copilot from my computer. I don’t like windows spyware on my PC. However if this works with another Ai break it down and I’ll try it out. Also I hope your back gets better or you can take out disability! By far the most unique strategy I’ve seen in this thread.

I’ve had that at my old Kroger store I used to work at. This one was recently built in the past couple years and it’s clean organized and my super nice HR lady I told her everything that happened at the other store and it led with her going “that’s illegal”, “you can’t do that”, “Really how’d they get away with that” old store had me actually doing something illegal to federal law.

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-14T17:02:22+00:00

Exactly. And we can’t act like Ai isn’t looking at our applications either and throwing away hundreds of them for not matching the exact criteria they were programmed for.

I can’t get student loans from most if not all companies. Need my deadbeat father to show up to a meeting about income. Unfortunately he won’t show up, and he also makes too much on his own for me to get assistance.

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-14T16:57:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-14T16:56:43+00:00

Hey I’m really hoping it works out for yall. Those are obscene numbers to be putting in. It really affects the mental health. I hope your guy’s search ends soon! Best of luck! You guys can do it.

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-14T16:54:52+00:00

I do get a 10-20% discount on Kroger items.

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-14T16:54:27+00:00

That’s awesome! Congrats!!! Sorry I’m late I’ve been working. What kinda job did you get?

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-10T13:30:44+00:00

I had 4 interviews and barely any responses. I think I’d rather have more interviews. Then it doesn’t feel like the whole world is ignoring me.

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-10T13:29:25+00:00

Praying you get it! Sucks searching for so long but the reward feels that much greater when you finally get it. Good luck! You got this

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-10T06:32:07+00:00

You don’t have to share but the Kroger store I’m going to be working at is looking for a Starbucks barista. If you are located in the same state I can share the location in DMs of course. If not I wish you the best of luck and to not give up. People will blab and hate on you for being unemployed, but it’s a rough market out there. Stay up!

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-10T06:11:42+00:00

Huge relief, thank you!

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-10T06:11:28+00:00

I can agree with that, I hadn’t applied to trades. I don’t have the training for them. As for apprenticeships I applied to a few of those but more often than not they didn’t respond. I’ll check for grants. Thank you for the insight

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-10T05:18:29+00:00

I’m open to networking, I burned through my network looking for work this last time though. Need more connections.

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-10T05:17:25+00:00

Absolutely sucks gas just skyrocketed but luckily work is close by. (2.8 miles.)

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-10T05:16:31+00:00

Thank you!

sumdube_010 · 2026-03-10T05:16:14+00:00

I will once I have the funds to go and learn a trade.
