Im jealous that you got a trainer. When i was on flow i literally got 5 mins of someones time. I was told how to read the pick label and that was it.
It's been that way in every workcenter I've been in except for receiving, which is the only place I've had training and even that was kinda on...
I live in California...I accrue sick time pretty quickly. I have only called out 3 times in 2 years but I use my sick time to supplement my pay. If I only work 30 hrs a week, I will use a couple of hrs to have a better paycheck and to keep my average hrs above 32.
Everyone in my store carriers their cell phones in their pockets. We never have enough walkies so my TL calls or texts us even when we are on the floor.
