This reminds me of when I worked in a different industry, also generally low-paying and with high turnover, but I was part of office staff instead of on the front line. (Think a TL level instead of TM.) The company I worked for had a reputation in the area of treating our employees really well...

Seems like more TMs complain about too few hours than too many, but I wouldn't mind have fewer hours. Sometimes so exhausted by the time I get to a day off that I get nothing done. I know of at least one TM who'd like more but a new TM in the same dept. is getting them instead. The new one is so...

Thanks. I was beginning to think that no one in this group belonged to it! Since I posted my question, another problem came up where one of my paper checks was returned unpaid with an "account closed" notation. The new C.U. said it was never presented to them for payment. I've had an account...

(Decided to delete a snarky response to @Hope4Future's comment. Snarky toward CP, not Hope.)

How are who or what not ready? If you mean the empty shelves, they're empty because they were full of candy that's sold. So much candy it's crazy. We're flexing in other Easter stuff there (probably cleared out the back room of all of it yesterday) in anticipation of everything going clearance...

I live in a state that has a pretty high obesity rate, so maybe that's why we have so little candy left? (That 's not meant to be sarcastic or mean. Just referencing a fact of life here.) After making my comment a few days ago, I noticed yesterday that there are some empty shelves now where we...

Noticed our supply of Easter candy has sold down a lot in the last week. Didn't notice today even though I walked through that area a few times. Goes clearance on Monday. Can't remember if it starts at 15 or 30, but candy is usually less discounted than the other stuff.

My small, neighborhood-based credit union, which I've really liked for quite a few years, was recently acquired by a large, non-neighborhood-based credit union. And I'm not happy about it. I've already received a letter sent to all, I assume, the members of the small C.U. about a mistake made...

My store sorta kinda does this, but I wish they'd do it more. Have to say I agree with @happygoth about having my days off split up. Not so tired after working 5 days in a row so I seem to get more done at home on days off. But I wish we'd go whole hog with what @Lights's store does. We have...

Nope. It can happen during 4th quarter when things are pretty crazy that a TM can end up having a shift 8 or 9 days in a row, but that's not scheduled - more likely happens when shifts are open and need to be filled. But it's really not healthy to work every day. We all need a break and time to...

Uh, no. Depending on what state you're in and because you're a minor, it might not even be legal to schedule you so many hours unless your school isn't in session. No matter what state you live in or how old you are, your ETL shouldn't be telling you to prioritize work over school.

A no-call no-show is definitely not good. If you did that at my store, you *might* get away with it if you've never done it before and you're an absolutely fantastic TM. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you'd be written up and do you really want that? (This actually happened at my store a few years...

We are, but at least two of them are former TMs who moved away and recently moved back to the area. Both are good workers, so I hope they'll be asked to stay on. I'm hoping that those of us who are reliable and don't need training are given more hours. Probably not enough of us to soak up all...

Haven't seen similar signage at my store or heard anything about premium pay for any shifts even though early morning would affect me. Is this company-wide or just in certain areas?

At my store the HR ETL approves the requests some time after 10 a.m. (That's when we have to have our requests in.) In the MyTime app, there's a "my requests" option in the menu. Choose "new request" and use any day of the week, pick a time, and add hours. I add hours to Saturday just because...

Doesn't matter if the store is low volume if TMs call off. We had a good stretch where the reshop, both on the floor and behind Guest Service, was minimal and late pulls were pushed. Now we're back to mornings where the reshop bins are filled to overflowing and three-tier carts are staged in the...

I understand this point of view, and have even done this myself in the past. But that's taking a good work ethic too far, imo. Being even mildly sick with something contagious can expose co-workers to germs they don't want. Going to work when you're sort of sick with something non-contagious...

I'm with @rd123 about liking a consistent schedule. Now, my start time is the same every day and the end time is mostly the same. There have been times in the past when the end time changes a lot and I've actually clocked out an hour early because I was thinking it was a different day. "Business...

Can you back to Tech for those other hours? Or cross-train for another area where your store might be short?

I'm in one of those states where paying out PTO upon separation is at the employer's discretion. And thank you @SigningLady for clarifying this - I'm going to start putting in for a few hours here and there to use up some of what's banked. I'd rather use the money to pay off bills than have the...
