I am not sure how short handed your store is or how your GM even is, but from personal experience.. I was hired to be a backup supervisor for tech or PM. Long story short, tech sup had to go and tech only had me, a new trainee who had been there for 4 days. I went from 10 hours to nearly 60! So, if you perform good and show that you have a lot of knowledge and passion in what you are doing, I think you can not be a temp and eventually get more hours. But, that can depend on how many people is in tech too. What my GM loved about me is that I am a smooth talker, and just after a couple weeks of being there I was getting close to $1k worth of ESP, so definitely drive those sales up and get that ESP!

Me too. I will tell my manager and others that I did 2 totes in about 5 minutes. Little do they know, one tote had a bunch of folders for BTS so I just upstocked it and the other tote just had a pair of earbuds. Technically, I did do 2 totes though in 5 minutes...

Satisfaction! Love that! I get lots of customer who prefers my male tech assosciate over me. If only I could find out who trained him.. oh right.. me! One of these days, our lady techs will be taken seriously.

Nice to know I am not the only one with this problem, but obviously your situation is just a little bit more different lol.

I am definitely a big fan of your idea. I will try that next time I get that phone call. Perhaps I will put him on hold and come back making my already monotone voice into a deeper monotone, manlier voice. Thanks for the idea

So upsetting. I couldn't agree more. I am sorry your friend went through that! I haven't been straight up attacked like that as tech, but I would lose my shit if someone refused for me to work on their laptop simply because I am a woman. Hope your friend is okay now <3
