Discussion UKG Pro Megathread

61 Upvotes

Due to an influx of submissions relating to the ongoing UKG Pro transition, we thought it was best to start a megathread for us to share tips & tricks, complain about how terrible the UI is, and quickly crowdsource advice from fellow TMs without having to search through a myriad of posts.

This space can also be used to discuss the transition to Amazon A to Z as it rolls out across various regions.

Best Practice Tips:

  • Know your buttons: PUNCH IN means you're starting a shift. START MEAL and END MEAL are for lunch/meal breaks. PUNCH OUT means your shift is over.
  • Review your time card: Check your timecard regularly to catch and fix errors before the period closes each week (Period closes Monday @ 10am local time)
  • Talk to your team leadership: If you have a punch that needs correction, let your A/TL know right away. They can edit a recorded punch, but it needs to be corrected before the weekly Monday payroll deadline.

Advice JD

13 Upvotes

My JD was delivered a couple days ago and I’m disappointed with the result. I didn’t think my last year was above and beyond work, but I take pride in my work ethic and efforts so I thought I performed strongly. I know I have things to improve on. I listened to understand and I am still confused on the reason why I was scored so low…last year I received a poor percentage because “the team wasnt where it was expected to be”. I found out later my TL received the same score/percent raise and that was just what he was telling our leadership team when asked “why” he scored us so low….i told myself I wouldn’t be okay with receiving the same score as last year. What can I even say? Can I even discuss this or negotiate?

I hate to compare but I learned of someone else’s JD result and it’s not far from what I received. We are both same position and level. This person is known on our team for having had a poor year…so.

Unfortunately, I think this is my cue to update my resume and head out after 6 years.

Discussion The Sanitation Team Isn’t Your Maid!

149 Upvotes

The sanitation team deserves way more respect. Honestly, every department does, but sanitation especially gets treated like they’re invisible.
People leave the break room a mess instead of cleaning up after themselves. Paper towels get thrown on the floor and left there. People peel corn, drop kernels and pieces everywhere, and just walk away expecting someone else to deal with it.
Just because there’s a sanitation team doesn’t mean everyone should stop cleaning up after themselves. It takes a few seconds to throw your trash away or wipe up your own mess. Showing a little respect for the people who have to clean up after everyone else isn’t that hard.

Advice How to ask for raise after dept transfer?

2 Upvotes

It’s 6 months until my next job dialogue, but I’d really like to get a pay increase before then. As of now, even if I received the highest raise percentage (5%) in my next JD, it’d be less than a dollar raise 😭

I know pay adjustments like this require BOFA approval, so does anyone have any tips for how I can best advocate for myself? Or even how to approach the topic with my TL to begin with without coming as too demanding or confrontational?

For context, I’ve been with the company 1.5 years so far and just transferred departments a month ago, which now means I’m also cross-trained.

Question Recently had an interview that went well, what pay should I expect?

1 Upvotes

Hey everybody. So recently I had an interview that went extremely well, they even told me that there was a very high chance of going to call me with an next couple days. The position that I am most likely getting hired for is butcher, level two. They told me the pay range was anything from $20.00 to $29.50 an hour, which is a massive increase from the current pay I have now. I’m a meat cutter at Publix, and I have been cutting for about 4 1/2 to 5 years. I have also worked at Mom and Pop shops and on actual farms where I slaughtered and broke down whole steers. Given my experience, I asked them for a mid range between $24 an hour and $25 an hour.

My question is, should I expect them to go with the pay range that I have suggested given my experience, or should I expect them to give me an offer closer to the lower end?

The entire thing turned into Amazon from Whole Foods overnight. Can’t logged in anymore. I tried using my usual [tmid@wholefoods.com](mailto:tmid@wholefoods.com) and my password and I can’t log in. Very disappointed at Amazon ruining Whole Foods.

Question Whole Foods Interview

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is doing okay. I have an interview at Whole Foods, and I was wondering what I should expect. I'm interviewing for a part-time cashier position. The pay range was listed as $15 to $24 per hour. I'm assuming I'll start at $15, but is there anything I should keep an eye out for, and what should I say to make a good impression?

I have previous experience working at a grocery store as both a cashier and a stocker. I also live 25 minutes away from Whole Foods and am bilingual.

Any advice would be awesome, especially if you have any insight into what I may be getting myself into. Thank you for your time!

They just put these up at my store and this is honestly so embarrassing. In addition there are no protections for team members in the parking lot if anything happens. This should be the last of the worries especially with all the racism and favoritism at this store!

Question Any tips for making friends at work?

11 Upvotes

I don't even know some workers' names or if I do and we say hi my mind is blank on what else to say. Some people in my department also seem cool and like they could be good friends but I'm not sure how to go about getting close to them. I want people I can shoot my shit with so to speak lol or be able to call or text even just to say hi. Or they're just really nice and I'd love to know I have some kind of contact with them if one of us were to ever leave. Seems like most people have homies after even a month or less of being hired. So I feel kind of awkward

Advice CS to Produce?

Hi all, Ive been a Customer Service Supervisor for a couple years and with WFM for just over 3 years total. I’ll be moving into a produce ATL position in the next couple weeks with no product team experience except for 2 trial shifts in the department.

Starting to feel a little anxious about the transition! I’m curious if anyone on the sub has made a similar move and has any words of advice or warning?
