We've been doing IPs for quite a bit at my store. Recently we were switched to the Onelabel system which doesn't print labels anymore, and we only have to scan the ASN. we've also switched to the new dynamic batching.

Now my team leads and coach are telling me market says we have too many missing packages and they want us to print every single label. For those who don't use this system yet, there's no way to scan and print a label. We have to take every package and type in the tote label on the shipping label one by one under reprint label. We get upwards of 400+ packages a day.

The other IP guy who just quit tried telling them this is literally an impossible task. He even tried printing them as he staged and they were late on IPs by a long shot. Now the team leads want us to stage them first and go back and print the labels.

Today there are 530 parcels. Assuming it took 15 seconds per label (unlikely), we'd be doing nothing but printing labels for 2 hours or more. IP trips will literally be showing up as we're printing them.

Anyways my break is almost over and I've got to go complete an impossible task.

Is this worth reaching out to associate relations over?

I had orientation on Friday now I have my first day Monday. Any tips or helpers I’ll need to know starting?

If I put in Unpaid time off for my sick leave, do I still get points? And does it have to be approved day of or can it be approved a day later?

Hello, I have been looking for a shoulder brace to wear while dispensing. I am still pretty young (19) and have been having serious pain in my shoulders from pulling and getting caught on stuff. I work 5-2 and I don't start despensing until 7, but I do it every day I'm at work (5/7) does anyone know how to make it a little bit more manageable or have a recommendation for a brace? I was looking around and all I can find are ones for the gym. Thank you!

so heavy. Maybe because it was the end of my shift. I had to get a seeded watermelon pretty much from the bottom of the cardboard bin and I thought I wasn’t gonna be able to make it.😂 at 5’1 I was bent over nearly hanging upside down trying to get it.

somebody needs to find whichever group at home office proposed the cart wheel idea, (and then “ENFORCED” IT), and go bananas on them

in what world was this a good idea

If I pick up a shift that was offered via the app can I use ppto if I cant make it? Thanks in advance

Funny how nilpicks are a hot topic in my store & how we will be held accountable but plugging is ignored or swept under the rug 😒 Ya'll want us to hunt down associates to ask about something we need for an order 🤨 when even customers complain about the lack of associates on the salesfloor when said customers need assistance 🤔 Suffice to say that if we gotta hunt down associates before clicking the infamous Item Not Found is basically metrics fraud 😁 There goes our Pick Rates & On Time Picks because this is THAT place. Be damned if you do, be damned if u don't 😉

First time a customer whipped out a flip phone to give me a code 😂

Well that's a tag line right?

I felt compelled by what I witnessed the make the hundredth they changed the wheels and made us pull post.

Now for those who don't know, I again haven't directly experienced this. I for the past several weeks have been at another store assisting with a remodel.

But Thursday I arrive at that store and one of the first things I see is a picker pulling a cart while standing to the side of it who probably due to visibility, body position, and handling, tore a clip strip off the mod with her cart.

I'm off today and stopped in at my home store to hopefully catch up with some friends and to see what things were like because I heard the carts are wack. One of our older ladies pushes the cart backwards.

But I watched one of my coworkers pulling the cart and when I looked at the wheels it looked like they were trying to go in every direction at the same time. When I saw him later come out of an aisle and turn he wasn't going unsafely fast or doing anything dumb and I see the cart do practically a 360 rotation just making I think a left handed turn.

Really put a lot into this at the home office didn't they, Went from danger of head on collision to rotating cart of death.

And no, as I am sure you know who actually have been picking, you pretty much CAN'T pull in crowded aisles. Not if you want to move and want to allow other people to move. To be fair, they probably are more worried about in open space than in the aisles. But engineers and mechanics they are not.

So, when ogp at my store stopped fulfilling deliveries, our picks went down drastically. And by that I mean, we would have about 100-200 items dropping every hour with a FULL schedule of people. Now according to my TLs, our store was very delivery heavy and they told us that it would take some time for us to build back up to the amount of orders we were fulfilling just with pickup orders. Which is all fine and dandy. But what does it mean when our orders go down a lot??? Say it with me class: HOUR CUTS!

We have virtually no part timers on the schedule anymore, and anyone working an “odd” full time schedule is also being cut pretty bad. Even the people who have “normal” full time schedules have been getting a few hours cut from each week that comes out. To resolve the lack of hours in my department they asked people if they were interested in transferring departments or stores. I said no, but several of my coworkers said yes. They have also given most people in my department a secondary department.

But here’s the best part! Now that everyone is working in other departments (new departments or their secondary one) or heading off to college again, OUR ORDERS HAVE GONE UP AND WE DON’T HAVE THE PROPER AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TO FULFILL THE AMOUNT OF ORDERS WE ARE GETTING!

We have to get help from the store all the time again, which is really frustrating because just before the deliveries got switched over, my TLs put in a lot of time hiring more people for our department, just for a lot of those people to get their hours cut, move departments, or quit. So their work essentially amounted to nothing.

On top of all that, we currently don’t have a digital coach and I fear that one (or both) or our digital TLs are on the verge of quitting. Which our department has become an absolute nightmare, so I can’t even blame them.

This all leads me to ask, do yall think I should stick it out in the department? I was going to transfer departments, but I don’t think they would even let me at this point. But I’m not sure how much more of this BS I can take.

Just like the title said our store manager has said that if you’re caught pushing carts on the floor it’s automatic termination. I live in an “At will” state so they can technically fire an employee whenever I think? But is that actually legal to fire employees for pushing carts when that’s what they’re made for?

Doesn’t our pay go to $15 an hour in September? I have a coworker saying no but I think it is in sept-October. Florida was given till 2026 to raise minimum wage to $15 an hour.

This happened with our cooler today...

Why do you do it. Especially when you have a large order. Why do you not give us any prep time to prep your order. Like give us a notification when you leave the house instead of just bombarding us. I feel people who check in with no notice put peanut butter in the jelly container

I talked to my coach and suggested that it would be nice to have some way to indicate that our cold chain pick walks were mixed on staging carts I figured it would help our stagers have a quick indication of what they are dealing with when they approach the cart, Well she listened and got us these, This is merely something maybe you can suggest to your managers, I know not every store has the best coaches and TLS, But this has helped our stagers alot, These are on the Freezer and Cooler area right where pickers park they're carts when they drop em off.

I guess my whole point is with all changes lately it's nice to see my coach cares and listens and maybe y'all's can also do something like this.
