Archived annual merit raise

[shortstuffishere]

I got a .30 cent raise

 

[Kartman]

New socks!!!

 

[LolOmgOk]

It happened to everyone that is maxed out... You won't get a raise unless you get a DEO

Makes me wonder if I didn't get a DEO if I would have gotten a raise. I was told last year that I was almost maxed out.

 

[HardlinesGuy]

57 cents!

 

[CeeCee]

Still have't gotten reviewed lol.

Waiting lol

Same here - in fact I have heard no mention of reviews at my store by anyone.

 

[vendordontmesswithme]

I just got my review today and I am maxed out and didn't get a raise. Has this happened to anyone else?

I was a victim this year.

 

[SuperTL]

Been maxed out for a decade. Never below an excellent so got pennies at least. Not this year. Store numbers not there so no DIO's in the store. No raise. First time.

 

[Marcellow]

Turns out everyone who got a review gets a free shirt? My team lead asked for my shirt size lol.

 

[Kartman]

Fuck a tee shirt.

I want a substantial raise!

25 cents a year? 25 CENTS A YEAR???

 

[HRZone]

Fuck a tee shirt.

I want a substantial raise!

25 cents a year? 25 CENTS A YEAR???

Haha, classic video

This, exactly.
For the first time since I've been with spot I won't get a raise.
Granted, the past years have been nickle & dime but it was something.
Now, it's like "You did a good enough job that you didn't wind up on the bottom! Here's a free tee!"
I'm so underwhelmed.

 

[Kartman]

Is there ANY retail job that pays halfway decent wages???

 

[redeye58]

Apparently not, since 'most of our jobs can be done by trained monkeys'.
They just haven't figured out a way to make that legal yet.

The point often missed is if it's such an easy job, why can't they retain people to do said 'easy job'?
Because there aren't enough people desperate enough to put up with the verbal/mental abuse at such a low wage.
So it's an unskilled job but, if you want people who will show up (reliable), do the job (strong work ethic) & be there when you need them most (loyal), you'll have to pay extra for that. And that's the bottom line.

Is everyone getting a shirt? I want one! At my store it seems they hardly ever hand shirts out and you have to be really well liked to get one

 

[Ahem]

DIO with 28¢.

I laughed a lot during the review. I'm not mad about it. I didn't realize the vml was considered to be my direct supervisor. Her name was on the sheet but my sl TL delivered it. I got ion on positive attitude and accepting feedback. I accept feedback from everyone except the vml but I'm gonna work on it and then still get the same dio next year lol. Her leadership style annoys me. She delivers criticism in a mean way. My tls aren't perfect but everyone agrees the vml is a meanie. She was nice when I didn't have to work with her.

My ions were accurate but I didn't get deo on things I should've.

There are people in my store who worked 5 months of 2016 and their raises weren't prorated. Is this a new thing? Or is it just because the store could afford to give those raises in full or something?

 

[Kartman]

put up with the verbal/mental abuse

None of that at my store. If it WAS like that I woulda been long gone. I actually enjoy working there... I just don't enjoy the pay.

 

[redeye58]

I'm talking about from guests, not just leadership.

 

[Noiinteam]

Deo .60 cent raise

You can stop by my tshirt shop and I'll print one for you.
what do you want it to say on it ??

 

[Marvin Martian]

I know the reviews are done(or the major majority are) but have not had the one on one yet.

 

[BigEyedPhish]

Haven't gotten mine but was given a Dunkin Donuts Merit Badge ($10 Gift Card) from my ETL and TL telling me how much they appreciate me.

Probably means bad review.

 

[BeelzeBecky]

I got 2.9% and have to admit, it's more than I expected. I spent the beginning of last year being a complete brat. The past 6 months I've actually started taking the job seriously.
If I last until next year, I should max out, so they tell me. Just gotta keep venting here so that I don't go postal. LOL

 

[desertcoyote]

Had my review yesterday, DEO with 5% increase. Easily my highest increase. I have a really good working relationship with my GSTL and it was a good conversation. We've both been with the company for more than a few years so we know how these things go. No worries on either side.

 

[Kartman]

I'm talking about from guests, not just leadership.

Guests that try to fuck with me amuse me. I've been locked up, shot at, sunk on a ship, and been married.

Pissy guests?

LOL

 

[squirrely]

As a TL, I can tell you that we give the rating we think our TM's deserve. Then HR has a call with the DTL & HRBP to decide what we can actually give. They then give you your actual rating and we have to write the reviews based off that. It really is BS. Especially when you have to tell someone they're getting 6¢. Yes, there are some TM's that deserve lower ratings, but so many deserve at least DIO. It sucks for us too.
