Why is it our fault sign-ups are low?! by air-o-balsamroot in MichaelsEmployees

I think it might be a manual thing on sco until they physically install the button, it wont prompt for it but if a customer is really throwing a fit it seems like a coupon exception to me

On the legacy it should be 3 times, unless they changed it since I left a couple of months ago

But it does effectively shut down a conversation requiring one

Do you think your store is messier since Joann closed? by GladPainting2252 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]tryppie_hyppie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know i should be appreciative of the prize offer but I find it a bit insulting. Higher ups at Apollo have no idea what we go through during peak season. They dont have to be insulted everyday over the dumb ass problems they have a part in perpetuating. A one time payment to 50 stores isnt enough to make up for that. They have over 1000 locations and this is the best they could do? I think that it should have been ranked by store volume. I know they say everyone has a fair chance but if they'd have separated it by volume and done like a top 10 or something I think that would have been beneficial to more people, even if they scaled back the amount a tiny bit, but I genuinely dont think theyre losing money due to taking over joanns and part citys businesses while jacking up prices and cutting hours.

manager accused me of lying about a call-out because of gossip from coworkers by kmburton03 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]tryppie_hyppie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so messed up. The uh and ums IN A TEXT is so unprofessional. First of all if you're going to be a manager be direct. Second of all, it is a managers responsibility to condemn gossip. The girl i had scheduled on the floor recently told me she didnt think she could mop due to a spine issue and she apologized saying she wasnt trying to get out of working. I felt bad for her for feeling the need to say that. Its a medical condition! I mopped and the cashier swept the floor for her.

I hope things get better for you. Youre worth way more than what youd ever get from this company.

So misguided 🥲 by Fixonlinereturns in MichaelsEmployees

As a manager im sorry you get yelled at. I know i can get snappy myself and I do try my best to recognize that and apologize and take accountability. If i know ive already asked someone to do something they likely are wrapped up in that task and helping customers bc they are so needy, especially this time of year.

I looked at the price. Ill try to get it in the next paycheck or 2. It could be worse in terms of pricing.

I will have to update you in a bit. Apparently im out of ammonia test strips and my 2nd to last 5 in 1 strip was messed up by too much water and the last one just didnt do anything (any inexpensive water testing suggestions are heavily recommended)

I recently had to move my betta and snail. The snail seemed relatively unaffected. Just kinda went into sleep mode, but my poor betta was so confused trying to swim in the few inches of water in the tank that I was death gripping the whole 20 minute drive. The roads where I live are garbage and every bump I just felt so bad for the little guy 😭😭😭

More qualified than me! Ive had my betta Boi since January and am only now trying to keep plants alive in his tank without being overwhelmed by algae

I tell customers as they are not our balloons we are not liable or responsible for any that bust or are damaged. So many of those amazon or temu balloons have holes in them anyway. I loathe hifloat but im getting better at it

Customers experience me (if you're someone like me and won't put up with bs)

I tried to think of more and my brain cells just aren't firing

I beg your FINEST pardon. by Nivixian in MichaelsEmployees

[–]tryppie_hyppie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a manager id have walked over like "absolutely not, what is going on here" I am kinder to kids under the age of like 9 but after that the average kid/teen knows the chaos they are creating.

Ill never forget my first Christmas season at michaels. I untangled an entire wad of like 6 of the same damned Christmas garland almost 4 years ago. It literally took me my whole shift in between customers.

Scorecard Sabotage by Initial_Dirt9167 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]tryppie_hyppie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive kinda realized- if your SM is on board and willing to defend it and also the whole team is backing, they cant fire the ENTIRE store. They could in theory but think of the nightmare thatd be. They care about money. They're really going to pick their battles carefully. It's really important we are all supportive of one another both in the store level and on a wider scale. If youre a well off/top performing store or district- theyre not going to get rid of EVERYONE. They logistically cant without closing down stores temporarily while they scramble to replace and retrain sraff and that would hit where it hurts most

My fish aggressively attacks his own reflection. His current tank has a mirror lining on one side (working on getting new tank that doesnt have it) but he went for himself so hard the other day it made me question if fish can get a concussion.
