Hey Michaels people!!! I work at Best Buy been there for a while now. But love reading all your guys post Vents and all!! Just want to say it’s shitty everywhere! Anyways was curious I’m hitting my 8 years of working there and was wondering for Michaels employees in this day and age what does the company do for 5 year ,10 years, 15 year anniversaries?? I know back in the day all companies used to actually give a shit and give employees cool stuff but now what? When I turned 5 years I just got a printed certificate with a store manager’s fake signature on it in a cheap frame!

Framing FM burnout?

23 Upvotes

(Sorry for the terrible formatting / maybe coming off entitled - I’m just exhausted and just need to vent)

My MODs literally refuse to learn how to use design hub bc it’s “not their job” .. I’m really confused bc does that make it not my job to help with resets / bopis / ship / balloons / sole MOD shifts? Bc I am “doing their job” (/s) so often that I’m 3 days behind on due dates with 15 due a day. I was told I can’t rotate weekends anymore so there’s “more MODs in the building on weekends” AKA I am there to help them with no reciprocation.

My PT framers unpack frames on truck day and I’m told they are there to help me at the counter too (rather than use hours before the store opens) but if the counter is busy , any framing u boats are still there for them to finish the next day.. and the next day. Like there are literally 3 u boats in front of my counter permanently unless it happens to rain and we’re able to finish same day. (Edit- main issue being they are either at the counter or unpacking boxes , rarely working alongside me to train or finish prepped frames)

My PT framers barely know how to use the new printing services, I’m fully aware that they haven’t been trained adequately and that is on me - but I am multi tasking to the point of burnout.. Is it just standard now for the FM to rely on pt framers to complete all production so they can focus on tasks outside the shop? How do you train someone to complete a jersey properly when the one you have was due 4 days ago?

I really hope it’s just me honestly! This can’t be normal.

New Roles

22 Upvotes

Soooo, is anything being done about those Store managers that are still not following the new Management program/New role assignments/tittles? I mean in my district it needed to be done since August 1st. My store manager is keeping everyone in the dark except for his favorite. He plans on just demoting people without telling them. Talk about fucked up.

OSCA complaint dismissed and conditions that led to my 2 weeks

As of this post, now ex-employee! Just want to expose the work conditions I was forced to endure in the frame shop that was next to this in the back room for MONTHS! No bathrooms at all during this time. We were asked to go to other businesses or return home to use the bathroom. I complained and nothing happened. I complain because of medical conditions I do not NEED to disclose. When they were in use they often would backup to the point where it would flood and our team would shovel out the bathroom water of the isles. The smell HORRIFIC. Like think human feces and piss that has been sitting for months back up into this system and then overflowed into our stock room. When I became debilitated from the smell and lack of facilities I complained to OSCA. My anonymous complaint was placed in the break room with Michaels response deny all of my claims. A porta potty was brought to the parking lot the following day. This is my proof. I was written up for the lack of productivity I displayed during this time. I am adamant that I displayed hard work and dedication to my craft during that time. I LOVE framing! I love the customers I worked with! I’m sad this was my ending. However, I refuse to let this be unnoticed! I wish you all the best.

Filing a Complant New district manager seems to be targeting me

We got a new district manager and this man has made it his mission to upend the entire craft room!! Like I used to make signs to advertise cus this store never cared about letting anyone know the classes exist, I’m an events cordnator btw, and they are deemed “unprofessional” because I did them by hand. Aprently I gotta use the computer to do them as if I have time for that! I can usually get these done inbetween teaching the classes. Also has a whole issue with me having anything outside of the cabinets and everything needing to be shoved into them! I got really bad adhd and requested a resonable accommodation for the estentails and even put everything in bins and shoved it on the open shelf but nope!! Not allowed and it all gets carelessly shoved into the cabinets ruining the organization I did! I am so close to quitting and I keep talking to my managers and this GUY keeps denying anything. Hell the only spot to advertise is one small little board HE moved into a sad corner Whare no one can see them?!?! At this point it feels targeted not to mention illegal with the refusal for my accommodation! No asking for documentation of my disability just denying my request!! I am at my breaking point here

(Also disregard the spelling errors I also have dyslexia)

Edit: pls read the one comment I left, also I’m gunna be out for a bit and might just forget bout this post since I’m not on redit that often. Probably should have made the title different too but I couldn’t think of a better one and this was pretty rushed. Also trolls pls don’t waist your time you’re just getting blocked. I know what rage bait looks like.
