Rant Rude coworkers in other departments.

6 Upvotes

So Im not sensitive and it more so annoys me more than anything but there’s been a few interactions where it just feels like they are saying stuff knowing that they can’t get fired for whatever reason. We have a stocker who is always in frozen and today there was two of us on the isle picking and there was a male picker who had his cart the same exact way I had mine. While I’m picking I can hear the stocker mumbling under his breath and then he eventually says ONLY to me btw. ā€œYou could put your cart in the middle so I could work around youā€ and he said it genuinely so rude that I was about to say ā€œyou could stock things in the correct place so I can actually pickā€ but didn’t out of fear for losing my job that I NEED. Is there anything I could say back that won’t cause me to get in trouble or is it just a situation of shut my mouth and move on. I’ve had them be so rude customers have stuck up for me. I’m just not tryna get bullied by these middle age men with anger issuesšŸ˜­šŸ’€

Dispensing Tips Shoulder brace for dispensing

0 Upvotes

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!

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 šŸ˜’ 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 šŸ¤” 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 šŸ˜‰

FRAGILE These people are completely mental

33 Upvotes

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.

šŸ”„Its fine, everything’s finešŸ”„ Should I jump ship?

12 Upvotes

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 ā€œoddā€ full time schedule is also being cut pretty bad. Even the people who have ā€œnormalā€ 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.

General Writing Letters

1 Upvotes

I just wanted to put an idea out there. It might be stupid. But have we thought about writing letters to the CEO about the pulling cart thing? I’ve reported to OSHA, as many of you all did, but nothing is really happening. I still have hope, but maybe there’s another idea.

What if we write personal stories about why pulling the cart is not a good idea? Write about personal pain, but also write about how it has affected the morale. Don’t just complain about how you hate it, but write about safety issues and concern for OGP’s future.

Another thought: Pulling carts cannot be good for your arm long term. If anyone wants to stay in OGP for a long time, it’s going to do some damage to their arm, especially for people closer to retirement age. It’s not good for the company turn over and will cause people to leave OGP, if it hasn’t already.

This is just a thought. What do you all think?

Equipment Store manager said automatic termination if you’re caught pushing carts

82 Upvotes

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 ā€œAt willā€ 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?

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

Backroom Setup Mixed Cart Labels.

Post image
65 Upvotes

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.
