[DoWork]

Nope. I did not. I will leave it where it's at, though.

Wow.
Misjudged you.
Won't be a repeat.

 

[GSAhole]

So anyways I think Jack can come back now, sooomebody just one-upped him.

[Loki]

TTOTM thanks for peeling the skin off my sunburned forearm without me even having to ask. You're a team player and I see a bright future ahead of you.

 

[lovecats]

The lip broke on one of the coffee ones so they'd stuff the front bag down tight 'til a guest pulled it out.
The others launched across the aisle.

Well, that was my LOL moment for today. I didn't realize that I was so far behind. Haven't read any of these since the end of May.

TTO Sr. GSTL: i wish i knew alot of different langauges so i can say FUCK YOU in each one. We have been red for the past two weeks because of your dumbass performance out most of our good cashiers and my best GSA. Im so glad the other two moved up to TL i wish i can help my last two out but the bullshit you been telling our ETL about them sigh I should have accepted that backroom TL position when it was offered.

Ttotm: you are a very good friend. You're a great person and a great coworker.

What you don't realize sometimes is that when you don't call off when you're in a bind (this time because you were still very low from being sick) is this. When you come to work, the Flow equation counts you not only as here, but also at 100%. As soon as I saw what shape you were in, I knew you were probably at 20%. I know you feel guilty when (once in a very, very blue moon) you call off. I know you feel like we won't survive without you, and partly, that's true. But then it's actually noted and accommodated (to the best of everyone's ability) in our section because we are physically one man down.
You were dragging our time down and it almost certainly would have been taken of had you not been here, but it wasn't because we 'had everyone there.' When you can't work, don't be a hero. Please take a day off.

It's a shame spot doesn't give their employees sick days with pay.

 

[CartinalCopia]

^ I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Do they? Because if they do I will happily inform my coworker.

 

[redeye58]

Spot pays sick days in states where it's mandated.
I live in a "state of denial" so no sick leave for us

 

[commiecorvus]

States with paid sick time.
New Jersey
New York
Alaska
California
Connecticut
Hawaii
Maryland
Massachusetts
Minnesota
Michigan
New Hampshire
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Vermont
Washington

 

[FlowChick]

I live in MN and never got paid sick time ever.

 

[commiecorvus]

I live in MN and never got paid sick time ever.

All of these are based on how many hours you work.
You only get it if you are counted as a full time employee, you earn X amount for working X number of hours, none of them are the same or consistent.
Compared to 22 other countries that offer paid leave, we pretty much suck.

[Produce Queen]

I live in Michigan and average 39 hours and don't get sick time.

 

[commiecorvus]

I live in Michigan and average 39 hours and don't get sick time.

Sorry, Michigan is still in legislation.
Apparently the Republicans blocked the bill.

 

[Produce Queen]

Ok thanks

 

[CartinalCopia]

So no, just based off the list, we do not get paid sick time.
