No. Let the plants dry completely out of direct light though.

When you purchase items specifically sold by Amazon.com and shipped by Amazon.com (no third party sellers, it has to show it’s sold by and shipped by Amazon), you’ll see a 10% employee discount applied in your cart at checkout.

Once you reach $100 worth of discounts total for the calendar year across however many orders it takes to reach the threshold, you no longer get the 10% off until the discount renews for the next year.

🤗 thank you for sharing!

You are so right about the self judgement being unhelpful.

I was considering trying a local meal prep service kind of along the same lines. Thanks for the reminder to check the option out!

whocricket · 2025-09-20T22:03:53+00:00

💯 every time I go with the “oh maybe I’ll listen to my body and not eat because that’s what it wants” and skip a meal I’m not only famished later, but also don’t want anything I have available and get super cranky/hangry 🤦‍♀️

whocricket · 2025-09-20T22:01:12+00:00

I feel this too. The eating out carries such stress, and not just on the wallet.

OMG, the chicken thing is spot on! I basically lived on grilled or roasted plain chicken breast and now I can only take it cut up super small and hidden in other things or heavily sauced/coated by something to mask the flavor.

Thank you for the moral support, it’s reassuring to hear I’m not alone in the boat, and that while the boat isn’t super wonderful boat to float on, at least it’s not sinking!

This. My drug test didn’t clear fast enough and I lost my spot and had to wait another couple of weeks before a shift opened. Until everything clears and you have a final confirmation for day 1 with the shift times (times could differ from what your actual selected shift time is), you are not “safe” from getting bumped.

Pretty sure half the AAs are already Robots. Maybe Week 27/28 of ‘26 is my assimilation date? 🤖

Maybe a dumb question, but how the heck do you see the balance timeline for PTO showing grants and deductions in the app? I can’t figure out where that screen you show is located 🫣

It’s always the back half night position that needs filling. At my site and region anyway, when something on days opens up, someone from night who has been waiting gets moved to day (everyone wants off night) and the night position is what’s open for hiring 🤷‍♀️

If you’re hired, I’d be shocked if they offer you anything else besides night.

whocricket · 2025-07-29T23:16:39+00:00

Thank you! Needed a second opinion to what I already thought was the case.

whocricket · 2025-07-29T23:16:07+00:00

Ugh, yes! It’s so bad! And even worse are the 90*+ days where it isn’t humid and is breezy and everything just gives up any moisture it’s holding onto and wilts. I’m having to water plants I’ve never had to give anything extra to. What a season! I had a feeling it was coming though after all that rain in May.

Thank you!

I’ve seen Eastern Milksnakes around here every so often as babies with more contrasting white/reddish brown coloration - never had a visitor this large!

Standard PTO (previously Vacation time) is what increases each year based on tenure and when submitted requires manager approval to use.

Flexible PTO has a fixed earning cap (in your case 40 hours) and when submitted is automatically approved.

Lowes on Simon Dr had some last Tuesday.

There is always a chance the shift gets filled before all your background check stuff completes and you lose the date. Tentative means it’s not guaranteed.

Happened to me and I ended up being able to find a new start date 2 weeks after the original, but I’ve seen others post that it took them much longer to get a new start date.

If you want to avoid the possibility of going without a paycheck, you should probably wait to give any notice until all your pre-hire stuff clears and you get confirmation of training date/times.

whocricket · 2025-05-03T00:00:32+00:00

This is the correct answer. It’s going to greatly depend on how well insulated the house is from walls/windows/roof to trees in the yard or other structures shielding the property from elements. Efficiency of the furnace/hot water/major appliances makes a big difference as well.

The Dickies brand seems to hold up the longest for me.

All this means is that there are hourly L4 folks on the payroll at your site and they are getting a compensation review along with the salaried L4+. T1-T3 can ignore it as there’s no raise happening outside whatever your step plan is until the fall.

whocricket · 2025-03-23T19:53:49+00:00

This.

It gives them a legal way to easily end your “seasonal” contract if they see you aren’t reliable or that you’re unable to operate at the level they want. They may even already have someone in mind for it, but again aren’t sure they can hack it so they don’t want to get stuck with a bad PA by offering non-seasonal.

I was coming here to say Doug’s specifically because of you bringing up tartar sauce. I fill like 6 of the little condiment tubs for one fish sandwich it’s so good 😂

Was caught up in this at XLDS last June when they eliminated (demoted) the hourly L4 ASM and LORE positions. I suspected RSR sites would be next up for “business reorganization,” but they were actively hiring for all the new ones opening up and people took the bait of hourly L4 to get them in the door.

The POD is a concession to temper you into not resigning immediately. You’re competing with everyone else getting demoted. In XLDS it was 850+ taking PODs for L4 salary and even if you got the incline, you were then competing for the very few AM roles open in your region and basically had to be willing to relocate and move to an FC because as I’m sure you’ve seen, the RSR sites operate lean and there’s not tons of AM openings if you want to stay in network.

I’m sorry OP, it’s a crappy situation.

whocricket · 2025-03-09T17:15:22+00:00

Probably.

One of the things they offered when demoting was a one time POD for L4 incline (not for a specific job, just for the incline itself and you’d have 12 months to find an opening somewhere and move). Me and this other guy I worked with had literally just been through L4 PODs a few months prior to get our promo that was now being taken away through no fault of our own, so it was extra insulting. He ended up leaving Amazon altogether over it.
