External TL hire questions

Hey everyone! I’m an external hire and just accepted a position as a Produce Team Lead at Sam’s Club.

I do have previous management experience from Walmart, HR experience, and some food/service experience from Starbucks, but Sam’s Club itself is completely new to me.

I’m genuinely excited for the opportunity, and I’d really appreciate positive tips, tricks, or advice from anyone who’s been with Sam’s for a while.

I know it’s easy to joke about the negatives or vent about work, but I was laid off in April and I really need this job, so I’m trying to go into it with a good attitude and set myself up for success.

If you’re currently a Produce Lead, or have been one before, I’d especially love an average day-in-the-life rundown. What does a normal shift usually look like? What should I learn first? What separates a good Produce Lead from a great one?

Any advice for a new external Team Lead would be appreciated!

Can someone help me figure out how much to spend? I’m confused. Wincredit $350

Since it says reward confirmed did I meet the total to get $350 or do I need to spend more? If so, how much? I’m so confused lol.

LGBTQ friendly city. Please read

Another “looking for a city” post… I know.

I’m looking for a new server to call home and really want to get into LEO RP. Looking for a city that’s currently hiring PD.

Population doesn’t have to be huge. I’d rather have 10 to 15 solid, consistent RPers than 50+ people who disappear after a week or don’t take RP seriously. I’m mainly just trying to avoid another ghost town.

A few must-haves:
• LGBTQ friendly. This is non-negotiable. I’m tired of joining cities or Discords just to see slurs being thrown around.
• Currently hiring PD.
• Steady population throughout the day.
• Serious RP, but not so serious that nobody can have fun.
• Active development and staff that actually care about the community.
• A PD that has room to grow instead of being completely full of command.

If your city checks those boxes, drop it below or shoot me a DM. Appreciate it!

Looking for a new city to call home. SERIOUS RP & 18+ only.

Looking for a new city to call home. Pop doesn’t have to be super high as long as there’s enough consistent activity to keep good RP going. I’m mainly looking to get into LEO RP.
Must be:
• 18+
• Whitelisted preferred
• Semi to Serious RP
• No 100k or die
• No gang-advantaged or gang-run cities. Balanced is best.
• No childish drama or pay to play.

I’m looking for a community that values quality RP, respect, and realism. I don’t want to get screamed at by a 12-year-old or deal with gangs that can do whatever they want without any consequences.
If your city checks those boxes, let me know. I’d love to take a look.

Looking for server for “newbie”

Looking for a server where I can settle in and grow.

I had to take about a year hiatus from FiveM, so I’m just now getting back into it and relearning things as I go.

A few things I’m looking for:

• Consistent RP. I don’t care if it’s 20 players or 200 players as long as there’s enough activity to create meaningful RP opportunities.
• LEO RP. This is honestly the main reason I’m coming back to FiveM. I’d love to find a department that’s willing to hire, train, and help a returning newbie learn the ropes.
• Lore friendly vehicles, but with some personality. I understand the limitations of lore friendly fleets, but I’d prefer something a little more exciting than the same basic stock cars everywhere that haven’t been somewhat tuned/customized.
• A welcoming community that likes seeing new faces stick around rather than treating them like outsiders.

If your server sounds like it might be a good fit, drop it below. I’d love to check it out!

Looking for a virtual recruiter.

I’m 30 year old male, live in Michigan. Good shape physically. Looking to chat with someone from recruiting. I haven’t heard anything from my local recruiters when I reached out via the application online.

I have a few questions about my work experience, medical background (nothing major) etc. and want to see what the process looks like.

[Michigan] UIA fact finding, employer fighting claim

I was let go on 4/10/26 after being out sick with Norovirus and providing a doctor’s note excusing me. Before that, I also had a death in the family (my father) and communicated everything including the obituary, updates, etc.

The termination meeting was maybe 5 minutes long. They brought me in and basically just said I was being let go due to “discrepancies.” No prior warning, no write ups, no verbal coaching, no explanation beyond that, nothing.

I filed for unemployment with Michigan UIA that same day and uploaded EVERYTHING I had:

  • doctor’s notes
  • emails
  • texts
  • HR communication
  • proof I kept them informed
  • even an HR email thread where I asked about an extended LOA due to mental health
  • Any paperwork UIA requested and I have certified every week.

UIA called me today and said my employer is claiming I submitted a fraudulent doctor’s note. I absolutely did not. I gave UIA the doctor’s name, license number, address, everything they could need to verify it.

I also uploaded my employee file that my old employer sent me and it literally shows I was never written up, never given a verbal warning, never disciplined, nothing. Being fired completely blindsided me.

The UIA rep said she’s forwarding everything to the claims examiner for a determination.

What are my chances of this being approved in Michigan? And if I get denied, what’s the appeal process actually look like? This is all new to me and I feel like I’ve provided every piece of proof possible showing I communicated everything and followed the proper steps.

I just ordered MT-1. I have type 3 skin and a decent “base” tan currently. I don’t want to get SUPER dark or look fake. Would it suffice to keep tanning 2-3x per week in a tanning bed and doing MT1 only once a week at 0.5mg? Or do I need to be more frequent with it?
