Archived Starting tomorrow... and ? about possible accommodations

[sharose]

Hey all,

I've got my orientation tomorrow (I got hired as a PT seasonal cashier). So far, everyone at my store seems chill (I actually know a lot of them marginally because I've been a "guest" a lot over the past five years?) I'm interested to see what's gonna happen.

Also - I'm disabled, so I'm not sure how well Spot works with things like that. I'm chronic pain impaired, for the most part. Anyone have any experience?

They could probably get you a tall barstool for you to sit on while you cashier.

Welcome! Make sure spot knows about your condition.

The majority of stores are very accommodating for various walks of life. Don’t be afraid to bring it up to store leadership!

Don't make light of someone's potential bummer.

We have a cashier with chronic pain and we supply her with a not-too-tall stool that works for her. We have another who has frequent medical procedures and he gets a tall stool that works for him when needed. Won’t be a problem at all, just keep HR in the loop.

At my old store, we also provided a stool for a TM with back issues. HR required a doctor's note, but they were absolutely compliant when they received it.

Way to take the high road considering some of the things you’ve posted

Just talk to your TL and HR for accommodations.
