So there is a tiny voice in the back of my head saying "what if you haven't heard anything from work because they are going to let you go". But I'm trying to distract my self from it. I also made the mistake at looking at my metrics for work online, some how I have the worst sales per hour for the whole store at almost -$2000/hr. I she no idea how that happened. Sales per hour is something I'm evaluated on and I know that it's just some kind of store closing weirdness and won't be an issue because I'll climb out of that.
It's just really odd.
Anyway if I'm let go I keep drawing unemployment and find another job and people are hiring so it will be ok.
I'm...the only person left alive, with the possible exception of your aged Aunt Erma, who still uses Woot!, aren't I?
I still check it most days, although Woot-Offs no longer excite me. You just have to remember that it's now Amazon's equivalent to the clearance aisle at Walmart. I did buy a 3D printer there last summer.
Headcanon: Aunt May and Doc Ock used to date.
I mean, it happened in 616...
I go back to work on Monday. This is what I know:
Our work hours will be 10:30-6:30 for the forseeable future. Store hours will be 12-6 but employees will help out with recovery, online orders, pick up orders and wherever they are needed as well, so a lot of cross work to help out with various things and be more flexible over all.
The store is providing masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer for employees. Before each shift we have to check in and answer questions about if we have any symptoms of covid 19 and have we possibly been exposed and if we've traveled anywhere.
Commission has been suspended for the 2nd Quarter at least. They are taking someone's average effective hourly rate for Jan and Feb and that will be their pay. I don't know how that will work for me since I wasn't commission in Jan and Feb but the HR manager said they have a spreadsheet with what people's hourly rate is so he can let me know on Monday.
Full time employees will be working 37 hours a week. They will be limiting the number of customers in the store and practicing social distancing for employees.
I am not exactly sure how that will work with the break room since it can get kind of crowded. I guess we will find out
Well, it's good you know there's a plan, and have a good idea of what the plan is
I am torn because now I'm like "but I don't want to wear real clothes and leave the house"but I know that the change will be good. I keep coming up with questions - how will lunch breaks be handled? I think if people are 1 per table (we have round tables) that will keep everyone 6 ft apart - as long as they are not sitting back to back -but is that enough seating to accomodate everyone who needs to take a break at the same time.
How many people can be in an elevator at the same time? Will we be allowed to change our gloves after every customer encounter?
I also know htat when I get home from work on Monday I will be tired and possibly over stimulated after a month of just being in the house and not having as much activity. And then once customers start back it will be a matter of adjustment.
Timelies all!
I need to get away from Mr. S. He's been behaving badly for quite a while and I'm not handling it well. I know I can't go anywhere (aside from maybe going to get dinner take-out) and it's driving me buggy.
I'm sorry Sheryl. You must be exhausted from dealing with your little monster. I get tired just reading about all his antics. May he take up an interest in meditation, reading or gaming so he will sit quietly for awhile.
You are a super hero of patience and parenting as far as I'm concerned.
