It could be that corporate as a whole is billing the hours for training, not your store, so your store can charge your hours to them. I've had my overtime billed to another store when I went there for support help; not the same situation but it could possibly be close.

To be fair, the packaging is confusing! I just really really hate putting pic labels on actual boxes.

It sucks for them because the workload and expectations is ridiculous and it's not going to get any better...the department will continue to fall into chaos and everyone will sit by and be absolute helpless to stop it. What a miserable experience.

Somewhat unrelated but I just left my job as Market TM, and I asked the former PA about if they were hiring to replace me since our Market team was bare bones as is...she said no. 8 total Market people now and some have very limited availability. The heck...

It's not even a lie...I went to Walmart on the Saturday night before Super Bowl; it was about 8pm? Lots of people in Market; lines down the main aisle. ONE CASHIER. They had like 20 SCO's, though. They'd converted a lot of regular aisle registers into SCO and people were checking themselves out.

I love how they don't care a whit about leaving the compactor and bailer unlocked, but lock up the storage room and electronics stock room. We don't care if you get hurt, but we do care if you steal!

Your own key? Ha. Ours is almost ALWAYS unlocked (Isn't that some sort of OSHA violation or something?). The bailer always has keys in it too.

Didn't hear. Just showed up one day and there was a padlock on the door and only TLs had keys.

One result of bounce back is that our storage room is now locked at all times...lol what a joke. One day in and a cart full of shelves were already left in the hallway outside, and people can’t get to the signing printer inside (which means nobody is going to stand around and wait for someone to...

Either nobody in my key code uses Kronos, or nobody in the store uses it, because I have not seen a single swap shift posted. Our store seems to still rely on the good ol' paper one. A shame, because a fully-utilized Kronos app would be extremely useful and convenient, but it seems like it has...

It makes sense, because Cartwheel is not a general discount but changes the actual price of items, so you're not going to get 10% off of the original price; just what are paying for. And then Redcard comes dead last and it's just off of what you're paying after everything else.

Oh, I know. It's just painful when there's so much work to do and we're put under so much pressure to deliver the same amount of work with half the hours. Yeah, no. People probably think I'm a slacker but I just refuse to run around like my pants are on fire because there's no hours. I don't get...

I work in Market, and I'm averaging 15-20h with completely open availability. MARKET. (and no, we don't have that many Market TMs). Screw Target, lol...

Back before Market was E2E and I was a PA, I liked clopening market because I could set myself up for a really great open the next day. You got to reap all the rewards of your labor and it was so satisfying, and with the time you saved, you could put towards all those little pFresh projects that...

We do all our own QMOS and defectives; it just makes sense because if we're the ones pushing the product (anything in pFresh or dry) then it's easier for us to take care of it ourselves than cart it all the way up to the service desk, who then has to process it and send it BACK to receiving for...
