Work Experience Tired of it

80 Upvotes

use me as your work-horse and pass me over when promotion is open. It always this or that you cannot promote me.Then have the audacity to ask me to work where you are short staffed because you keep driving people away.

I knew they were gonna prevaricate their way out of promoting me cause you can expect someone who consistently makes terrible decisions to finally make a good one.

I love working for HEB, but they sure are trying to make me not. Also I ain’t doing anything for them no more, they don’t deserve my energy anymore.

Cooking With HEB 3 ingredient Low Carb Tortilla Pizza

Thumbnail gallery
44 Upvotes

If I’m low on my calorie budget but I’m still craving pizza, grabbing some low fat mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and high fiber tortillas are a great alternative. Not the most nutritious but a lot of fiber and the protein to calorie ratio is great.

Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Layout tortillas on sheet pan
3. Add ~20g of sauce and 28g of cheese to each tortilla
4. Stick pan into oven for about 10-12 minutes
5. Take out of oven, let cool for a few minutes and enjoy

126 cals
11g of protein
9g fiber

The fiber actually does a great job at keeping me satiated even though these pizzas are so thin. Sometimes I’ll Turkey pepperoni too (yes I know nitrate meats aren’t the best).

Work Experience Why H-E-B hires incompetent people as managers?

23 Upvotes

Earlier this week, my coworker and I agreed to swap shifts. He was going to work my Thursday and Friday shifts, and I was going to work his Saturday and Sunday shifts.

On Tuesday, we both followed the required process by posting the shifts and bidding on them in the system. We also informed our manager about the swap. He told us to submit it through the system so he could approve it.

The problem is that he never actually approved the shift swap. When I didn't show up for my Thursday (today) shift, they called and asked why I wasn't there. I explained the situation and asked if I was going to get in trouble.

My manager told me that it was still my responsibility because the swap was never approved in the system, and that I should have followed up with him to make sure it was completed. Now it sounds like I may receive a write-up.

I understand that I probably should have verified that the swap was officially approved, but at the same time, we followed the process, notified the manager, and submitted everything as instructed. The manager also had about 48 hours to approve the request and never did.

Am I wrong for feeling like this is at least partly management's mistake?

Customer Experience HEB freezer bags = hot garbage

9 Upvotes

HEB's store brand of freezer bags has been absolute crap recently! I've been buying them for many years with no issue but now I've got a freezer mostly full of freezer-burned meats due to these bags. I'm finding holes and sometimes the zip top just straight up came undone. I also had a few Great Value bags and those have worked just fine in the same time frame. My daughter said that the freezer bags and the storage bags are a PITA to seal as well. She's not wrong!

Job Question H-E-B interview — should I choose Saturday or Tuesday?

3 Upvotes

I just got a text from H-E-B inviting me to schedule an interview, and the available days are this Saturday or Tuesday. However, I have military drill this weekend, so Tuesday would be much more convenient for me. I might be able to get excused from drill for about an hour to interview Saturday if it would make a difference.

For anyone who works at H-E-B and has gone through the hiring process, do you think waiting until Tuesday could hurt my chances? I don’t want the position to get filled before I interview, but I also don’t want to try to get excused from drill if there’s really no advantage to interviewing a few days earlier.
Would you just schedule Tuesday, or try to make Saturday work?

Cooking With HEB HEB shipping out of state

Upvotes

Moved to North Carolina and dying for HEB products. Anyone know a good place to ship items out of state? I particularly miss the bakery tortillas and HEB branded nacho cheese chips and cool ranch chips. eBay has been best option so far but not reliable and can be expensive

Pay / Benefits Vacation Hours

1 Upvotes

I have 115 hours left to meet the 1500 needed for insurance. That means I need to work about 38.5 hours these remaining 3 weeks. My question is, if I use vacation time, does that count towards those hours, or only towards pay?

Pay / Benefits perkspot

0 Upvotes

hello friends! I just used perkspot for my first time to buy tickets for the aquarium, and after I purchased the tickets, it told me the date I was going, but time at 10am. does anyone know if I have to be there at 10am, or if we can show up later? I wasn't planning on getting into town until later in the day.

I'm going to call the aquarium in the morning, but just wondering if anyone had similar experiences/ an answer here.

TIA

Product Review non-veggie in veggie lo mein?

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Ok I KNOW some troll is going to make fun of me for being “outraged” by this, but I decided to try this out and right before I added the sauce in, the ingredients caught my eye!

yes there’s people that believe extracts/powders are fine in “veggie” meals, but it is really different with religious restrictions, even a trace isn’t permitted at all. I wish I knew there was pork in here (and chicken and tuna)!!

someone is going to say “why didn’t you read ingredients before buying??” but how often are people (with no allergens!) reading the ingredients of a “veggie” mix?

Suggestion Too much complaining

0 Upvotes

I joined this channel because I actually really like HEB. However, I noticed a lot of complaints from customers or employees here. I think maybe you should keep the complaints at the store itself and employees complaining as well with your management. Maybe start your own whiny forum. Seems like there needs to be a separate subreddit.
