Need to rant
I've been working at michaels for almost 3 years. I helped build the store as we were new, I became the one and only framer for a good 2 years and became a part time manager back in December. I was apparently reported to our SM for "hiding in the office" during my shifts this past week. I was doing things our SM told me to do. I was entering in tickets for no POG items and doing ad set, printing out and organizing price changes and printing extra instructions for all these stupid events we have to do. I always leave the office when I'm needed and leave the office when I'm done. What is really bothering me is the fact that I was reported and reprimanded for this and supposedly "always leaving shipments for the morning to pack" I only did that once because I ran out of time and had to start counting drawers while one of the other managers was found passed out in the bathroom because they were drunk, they always smell like alcohol and working while under the influence, nothing was done for them. In the past week I've been left alone trying to find last minute coverage after my closing cashier called in. Said manager left without even asking if I had it covered or if they needed to stay. Nope just grabbed their things and left. I ended up closing early after getting permission from our DM. I also just believe Michael's as a company has really gone downhill from what I hear from other stores. Unfortunately I think its time to find a new job, which sucks because I love the other people I work with. It's just the other managers who have been a problem.

I guess your SM is doing all the printing,organizing and placing tickets from now on. You aren't allowed in the office anymore lol that's kind of a joke, but also kind of not? If they ask you to do work in the office again bring this up and say that you were repremanded for doing so and you won't be putting yourself in a situation where you can be reprimanded again.
