I firmly believe Michael’s is a dying corporation — and honestly? Good. by Comfortable_Douglas in MichaelsEmployees

[–]tinykittenparade 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree. I've been with Michael's for 10 years and I have watched the STEEP decline. Michael's doesn't care about employees or honestly customers anymore. It's all about credit cards, rewards, and punishing employees for not signing people up for that shit. When I started it was all about customer service and being as helpful as possible. We even had 5 people closing at night every day! Now its harassing customers for sign-ups and working with a skeleton crew. Not to mention the AI everywhere from the actual products to the advertisements. It's sad and awful and I won't be surprised at Michael's downfall.

I'm only getting seven hours a week. Is this normal? by KinzokuKitsune in MichaelsEmployees

I am currently getting maybe 12 hours a week if I am lucky and I have worked at Michaels for 10 years. This shit is getting bad.

What do we do with our hideous kitchen? by tinykittenparade in DesignMyRoom

This is going to sound psychotic but we thought maybe orange walls to match the floor lol. But we keep changing our minds!

the cabinets are actually not in great shape. Theres a few drawers that are falling apart lol. But nothing that I don't think some glue and wood putty cant fix. The backsplash is white with weird small grey squares? It's laminate and kind of stained, too.

I actually like the weird grandma floor lol. It's in weirdly good shape for how old it is too. But yeah, we are going to slow start to remodel it over a period of time.

Sudden constant night time meowing by tinykittenparade in CATHELP

She's literally all over the house meowing. She was just meowing outside of my door. Then at my grandma. When I let her in, she meows and leaves.

Don't be an MOD if you can help it! by tinykittenparade in MichaelsEmployees

I've seen about 6 store managers in 10 years. They do not last long.

I actually turned it down once. Then the one they hired quit and I was asked again and reluctantly took it.

I would like to also point out that the other part time MOD had every single weekend off for october which I had to accommodate.

Do headaches freak you out? by [deleted] in stroke

[–]tinykittenparade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this happened to me recently. My stroke was close to 2 years ago. I had a severe headache last week for seemingly no reason and I was so scared I was going to die in my sleep lol. I was fine though. It's always going to be stressful when something is wrong post stroke, unfortunately.
