I had two compliance issues in two weeks...mis-communication and probably my own fault. I have always been salaried (not that I'm using that as an excuse) but have always just done as much as possible to get the job done at hand...didn't even realize I was on compliance until I was called in...

I saw it..thanks! :)

Could you forward the pm to me as well? Thanks so much!

Just because you were let go at that particular time does not mean you are a "bad employee" or any such thing! I was let go after the holidays (started before Christmas and my last day was just a few days ago) and I was urged to reapply after thirty days. If you enjoyed your job, had good...

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement! :) My last day was a few days ago, but I'm told by several to please reapply again in a month. Regarding the compliance issue: I was spoken to by TWO LODs...the second one misunderstood the reason for my "coaching" the first time around, and when...

Okay, so I was "coached" for compliance issues. Once for two separate occasions. Not sure what happened, and I understand I should have looked at the clock. Even though someone gave me wrong information, it is my responsibility to double check (which I didn't). Anyway, if I work a shift...

To the team members who thinks all seasonal workers are "nobodies" and treat them as such: Remember, what goes up must come down. We will eventually be "guests" and will have to be treated accordingly. If you want your seasonals to work hard, then treat them as part of a "TEAM" instead of just...

Thanks much! ;) Have mentioned it to some others and I was told to keep checking back to see if there are openings. I will be speaking with HR again today as well. I do enjoy the work (great exercise!) and the people are all super to work with for the most part. I don't want to take anyone's...

I DO have a question about this...my TL told me my last day would be the end of January, and explained there was not enough hours for people in Softlines, (not like other areas of the store). I immediately asked her if my work was satisfactory, and she told me it was exemplary, and I should be...

From another woman's point of view: I think it shows creativity and initiative--and being confident in yourself! :) If you can dress up your work wardrobe, go for it! I know the guests enjoy going to a store where the employees care about not only their job but their appearance (being a guest...

Thanks everyone for the excellent responses! We also have the cordless handset which gives me leeway to go a little further than the fitting room alone. I agree that communicating is important--vital, even--so when I am unsure I like to repeat the instructions back to make sure everyone is on...

I think I'll just follow orders from the last person who asked me to do something. I keep a notebook of everything I do, so if I am questioned, I can let them know what I've done for the day and who told me to do what. Better to do that than ignore a request at this stage of the game. Thanks...

Most definitely! Even if "all you do" is watch videos, you are being paid, and technically on the clock, so red and khaki are the colors to wear! :)Welcome!

I understand what the core roles are for a FRO, and it doesn't bother me in the least to do that AND whatever else (...yes, I've done pulls from the backroom as well--along with cashiering and helping to get carts)..but when I can't even finish my basic duties, I wonder if this is the "natural...

I agree that "doing what the boss tells you to do" is extremely important, and I have no problem with that at all--however, there seems to be a mis-communication between the LOD (who is also the ETL), and since I was the only one scheduled for the fitting room that day, I wondered what the...
