I hate it here
I’ve only been at Michaels for about 8 or so months, and i’m only part time. I feel like I have made myself too valuable to the store in a way, but I also know they couldn’t care less about me. The past few months or so people have been dropping like flies leaving the store. They only hired on 2 replacements. We have a total of 12 employees with 5 of them being managers, and half of the employees being retired.
It’s just so frustrating they want me to be the bopis/ship, framing, front end, ballon’s, unloader, and the event host. I have no idea if this is normal or not. I still get paid the minimum, and I do everything. I was told we get commission for frame sales, but I am not actually a framer so I haven’t seen a dime of the thousands I have made for the company.
My managers tell me that I am the only person they can trust to do the job with them like opening with them and closing. I feel like I’m getting so burnt out as someone who is also a full time student and even though I am part time I am getting 35 hours a week.
My SM couldn’t care less about what I have to say as they are leaving in a few weeks. I tell them I barely have time to study or sleep well working at 4-5 am due to the truck. I begged them to hire new truck people, as 2 truck people quit. Nooo we have me to fill in and fill the gaps they refuse to hire.
I feel like I do it all, and my managers still tell me I don’t do enough. They tell me to smile more and to start doing things at 100%.
