What's the reason for the bumpy few months?
Seems management has a hard time managing our time. We went from losing a day of work every other week over the slow months to mandatory overtime 1 or 2 days a week. I don't have a problem with the ot it's just when we get the ot day(s) they have us fucking house cleaning which should be a joke. Time and a half to sweep is not bad it's just 10 to 12 hours of sweeping does tend to get to you. When I am at work I want to I want to work. Plus there is a ton of new hires and temps and our daily numbers are maybe a touch more than a few months ago. We almost didn't hire anyone for a whole year and I have to tell you that our team was really starting to not only bond but everyone did their share of work. I don't mind hiring new folks but I am wondering for what. Last year I wasn't even able to get a day of ot past Thanksgiving so our busy time will be done soon and I just hope that they won't cut hours again. There are so many new people tho so I think it's bound to happen. It's s just frustrating I guess. Will maybe next year will start out better than this year started. Oh by the way Happy Thanksgiving to all my co DC workers
From a sales stand point, this time of year is always going to be the busiest I imagine. Are the new hires you speak of only seasonal or temporary? Imagine what it would be like working this busy time without them. Your DC would be even worse off than it is now. I'm sure you will be back down to the voluntary leave every week after the busy time. Good to see you stuck around, I remember you complaining about your departments situation. Did you end up switching? Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, hopefully the mandated double ot is gone soon for you! Hold your teammates accountable and tell them to stop calling out so much.
Hey that’s the one I went to a few years ago, in Milton iirc. They are sending a few of us to the DC in Minneapolis this year. I signed up but not sure if I’ll get to go yet but fingers crossed. I just want to go to Mall of America lol
Sorry I just realized I replied to my own thread lol
Sorry I just realized I replied to you on my own thread lol
How does one sign up for this?
It depends on your building and if they can support. They ask multiple buildings who are in good shape from a staffing and backlogs perspective. If your building is not one of those then your building already responded no and there's no option to sign up.
Sorry I’m so late I forget about the break room sometimes lol. I’m sad that They actually cancelled it this year. I think it was due to needing more bodies in our DC and not wanting to lose us. Last time we did it they had forms for us to fill out. You basically just listed your department, what key you wanted to work, how many weeks, and all equipment you were trained on. Then the forms got turned into the Sr Hr Specialist of your building
