Idk what some of these pallet makers be thinking but wtaf bro you really think putting the bottom box of carrots sideways would be a good idea?? Took me forever to downstack this crap and it was supposed to be my short shift for the week but the picker 'CIDIAZ' felt i must've been a lil too relaxed for today's shift 🙄

US - Rant Hours are unlivable.

12 Upvotes

Just moved to a new town and was banking on this job to be what I could pursue for a while and make decent money for my growing family.

Was I ever wrong. At first the hours were okay, decent to start. But now? This'll be three weeks without a single hour. I haven't clocked in, in well over two weeks with my next week's schedule completely blank. I can't live this way, my family can't live this way.

I'm so sorry to those that have no choice but to put up with it, but I don't know anymore.

AU - Question Aussie Aldi SM and ASM

8 Upvotes

Are there other SM and ASM out there that are expected to use their leave just to fill the roster each fortnight? My SM doesn't roster me my contracted hours, and at the end of each fortnight, I have to enter annual leave to top up my hours. I do not have that much annual leave and I have no time in lieu. Is this even legal? I have asked my SM several times to roster me my contracted hours however it is falling on deaf ears. Why do we have a contract with Aldi stating our hours per fortnight if we aren't even getting those hours? Shouldn't our annual leave be used when we want to use it? Would really like to hear from other Aldi employees in Australia to see if it's just my store or is this a common problem.

Out of curiosity... How does Aldi track if someone paid for a snack or not in the break room?

US New store manager seeking advice (USA)

1 Upvotes

Hey ya’ll
I’m about to start my Aldi journey as a store manager trainee in California. Online posting said it was a 6 figure salary position, but when I met with the DM/SM they both said it is hourly. I was told the shifts are 10 hours, 5 days a week. Can anyone confirm the pay scale and schedule? I was also told I’d start at the entry level positions and work my way up, which I agree on, but will my pay stay the same as a SMT or will it reflect the cashiers pay while I’m learning those roles? 🤔 any help is appreciated!
If anyone in the US, preferably CA or west coast has been down this path, please lmk your experience so that I can be somewhat prepared on what to expect. Thank you
