If you request FMLA (which you can do through the LeavePro portal via eHR), nobody at your store can deny it to you, Q4 or not. Decisions regarding FMLA leave are handled by an outside team. If you can get your doctor to fill out some paperwork attesting you need time off work for your...

It's really come to the point where we might as well station "courtesy carts" around the store where lazy hurried guests can drop off things they've decided not to buy. Maybe that would cut down on stuff being discarded in random aisles or clogging up Guest Services...or not...

I imagine they'll have you do fulfillment regardless of where you're scheduled "on paper." It's not unlikely someone thought they were being clever stacking the schedule for fulfillment using other workcenters' payroll. In which case, you're going to be one of many, many TMs digging through...

As far as being kind-of-guaranteed full-time hours goes, I can't say it enough: join Presentation Team, weather the oft-sinusoidal learning curve, and become Irreplaceable!

Yep. Multiple times daily, all over the store. Something about lipstick and pigs comes to mind.

The "lulz, I'm not printing all that" issue seems to affect labels for DPCIs with multiple locations on the POG. Happy hand-batching from the line listing (and hopefully you're lucky enough to be allowed to back-button to the line listing instead of getting dumped to the Scan screen and having...

Me, too. I've invested far too many years in honing the skill of mentally rotating images about the Y-axis to accept its obsolescence! Damn kids today, won't know what it was like to set a POG uphill both ways...

You edited crucial information out of your OP. I guess that means you want wrong answers only.

In the long run, encouraging people to get an advantage over their rule-abiding peers by essentially doing unpaid volunteer work for the company doesn't help anyone. It does inflate corporate's expectations of what can be accomplished within its own rules and budget, though. ...said the...

I'm pretty sure you can't download MPM on your personal phone. Working off the clock, confidential information, and all that.

This. I created and consecrated Aisle BS99 for this purpose. ;)

No doubt the higher-ups will blame all their woes on social conservatives, black people, and any other group they managed to piss off when they thought it would be cute and trendy to come down heavily on one side of a complex, nuanced issue. Anything to dodge responsibility for refusing to...

I would be shocked if anyone with any experience (and the ability to learn from it) did NOT habitually print peg/price accuracy labels en masse going into any reset. Corporate, please just admit nobody up there has any idea what setting POGs actually entails and leave those of us who do alone.

Thanks for that belly laugh. I’ll need it to warm up for another day of heaving sobs.

This no longer works as of yesterday. You just get a message that says something to the effect of “cannot batch labels until POG is tied.”
