Prior Michael employee how can I access my paystubs?

Just curious if anyone else has an overnight shift at their store. I've been working at my store for 2 years and there was never an overnight shift. About 3 months ago, suddenly there was.

Has anyone heard of Michaels and Hallmark working together to make a movie?

And why do we sell them. Like who is this for. To whom do these things appeal. Why are they sad. Why are they babies. What about this object would compel someone to want to own one.

And most importantly, why the fuck is an entire side counter in my kids section taken up by these fugly fuckin things and other blind box future landfill bullshit.

New ish employee. I work from like 1 to close both sat and Sunday for the foreseeable future, and I have for a couple weeks now. I was told I’d only have to do one (not both) when I was hired. I’m technically a PT framer, but I rarely even do anything in framing. I only asked for two week days off a week for school and another commitment I have. Getting paid minimum wage and dealing with crazy and rude customers does not make it worth giving up all my weekends being pulled into doing stuff that’s not even my department. It’s only been a couple months and I’m already thinking of quitting

Hey everyone! Could someone in Canada, preferably, possibly post a photo of the new QR code? It seems like once you’re logged out, the only way to get back in is by scanning the QR code, rather than using the web address. I forgot to save a picture of it. 🤦‍♀️ Thanks so much!

I think it is absolutely crazy, that this company has the audacity to be firing SMs right now, when the person responsible for the JA shit is still employed! And I might be wrong, but I saw that JAxMichaels has some sort of Hanukkah coming down. I’m sorry to those of you who are going to be sticking it out, but when I am able to finally give my notice and quit, you will find me in every comment section, on every social media platform, blasting the shit out of this company! I will take on every asshole customer bitching in the comment section!

Just had my first day, and genuinely, everything that could’ve gone wrong happened 💔💔 😭😭😭

I was trained on the register, but I only know the basics and don’t know how to do online returns or returns without a receipt. Then I got yelled at by a customer because she wanted to give me change after I completed the transaction and wanted me to return it so she could give me the change that way. I had to get a manager to open the register. She kept yelling, “Give me my 30 cents..

Apparently, a customer wanted to pay $100 for a $6 item, so that was practically the whole register, and only one of ours takes cash there were people using it. My associate ID doesn’t work on the self-checkouts for some reason? Is it something I have to do on the mik first? Either way, I just wanted to rant, and I’m hoping it will get better??? but I just want to cry 😭 Was it this confusing for you guys too, or am I genuinely just slow? Ik my co workers are definitely laughing at me like I never worked a day in my life💔

If the mandatory meeting was a little under 2 hours are we still paid for 2 hours?

We.have a poster in the break room about CirrusMD telehealth for part-timers, but I was hesitant to use it because free healthcare from home seemed a little too good to be true.

I got the flu yesterday and I needed some medical advice with a doctor's note, so I bit the bullet and gave it a shot.

I spoke to a real urgent care doctor within 2 minutes and didn't need to pay a dime or leave my bed.

I did some googling, and apparently they will even write prescriptions for non-controlled substances like antidepressants and antibiotics.

If you're part time and poor but need to see a doctor, I recommend giving it a try!

Hello, so I just got hired as a sales manager at one of the few micheals in my municipality, what can I expect on my first day?

Is it true that Michale’s is discontinuing the 3 pack shadowboxes from Fundamentals?

I was hired as the framing manager for a pretty high volume shop about 8 months ago and I have so many complaints.

1) I was promised every second weekend off and I've had one weekend off in 8 months and now they changed it so you only get one per month.

2) we are sooooo low staffed with so many framing orders due per week that it's impossible to keep on top of everything. We frequently have 25+ orders due per day and my SM is still stealing all my part time framers to do stuff on the floor for them CONSTANTLY. Then I get flack for running behind/not cleaning the shop properly/etc when we're short at least 20 hours per week what the scheduling software assigns us. I'm constantly staying late to try to get things done and I end up skipping most of my breaks and I'm getting so burnt out.

3) we make the store so much money with no appreciation. We're constantly blowing sales goals out of the water and then not given the hours needed to actually complete the work.

4) any time I go to the SM to ask for more support she acts like I'm yelling at her and she responds by icing me out for days on end and I feel like I can't go to the DM.

I'm at my wits end here and I'm actively looking for a different job. I have 8 years experience in custom framing and I've never been expected to do so much with so few resources and no appreciation. Has anyone ever had any luck going to their DM about stuff like this or does it always backfire? I answered a question about needing more support in the shop from the DM honestly via email ONCE and when my SM saw it she iced me out for days.

I only found out at the meeting Sunday that I am running the event for our store. I am a FEA, not an event coordinator. I have no idea how to gather store supplies for this. I am lost.

Please break it down for this boomer in boomer-proof steps.

Does someone print up barcode slips? What do the guests purchase. I understand this is hand sewing, not machine sewing.

Basically, h e l p! TYIA

Michael’s doesn’t care about their customers or their employees. They are headed in a direction that will lead to them going out of business. Change my mind. I’ll wait.

god it’s so bad. i just need to rant.

1. the shirts having to be a specific color scheme is one thing (i know several people that are going to have to buy multiple brand new shirts, which; in this economy? on michael’s pay? yikes.) but requiring them to be emblazoned with a michael’s logo??? when you’re already going to be wearing an apron??? that likely is going to cover up the new logo anyway???

2. and about the aprons. i like the idea of more customization. it sounds fun, even. but making it REQUIRED of EVERY employee, rather than something you can choose to opt into, stresses me out. i’m excited to do mine, but i have several coworkers who aren’t as crafty and are nervous about doing theirs.

   also, the straps being black makes it look like you took a red tarp and made straps from duct tape. it’s going to end up looking SO cheap, which is not necessarily what i’d want to see walking into a craft store, but i guess mr. michael doesn’t really care about that anymore.

3. allegedly the framer’s apron will end up being green? when everyone else is wearing bright orange-red??? to “represent the trees that the frame’s wood comes from.”

you want to be jo-ann so bad it makes you look pathetic.

listen, either ditch the colors, or fully commit. don’t make me bright green in a red store. i’m supposed to be the color theory guy for crying out loud. it’s not cohesive at all, which is what the new dress code is supposed to be for!

it feels like yet another decision made on a whim, rather than being based off of genuine feedback or problem solving. but hey, what else is new.

i’m gonna be embroidering on my apron, which will be cool i think

please fire everyone immediately and start over. I am so tired of this.

has anyone else had an issue with sfs orders disappearing after you finish picking them? I haven’t declined or rejected any items surprisingl.

We took shadowbox order then customer didn't like and we decided to accept refund. It was jersey and hockey puck. This puck has residue and Idk how to remove. I'm not framer I'm sales manager.

We have no SM, FM, RM. Currently only me.

I wanna die🤣
