I'm jealous of people who can work from home or have a relaxing job somewhere quiet. Or don't have to work. This job is exhausting and I'm not sure how my e-commerce skills can transfer outside of retail. Maybe I lack confidence or something. It's actually a good job but not enough to live off of alone. Feel like a failure in all ways lately lol Headspace doesn't help either.
Are Sundays ever a good day for e-commerce? I've been thinking maybe super early mornings would be okay? I don't think I've ever worked earlier than 8 am. Every Sunday I've worked has been chaos. Super loud and people everywhere. There are always shifts available for Sunday though and sometimes I want the hours. But lately I just avoid Sundays.
I made a good connection with a guy for the first time and have enjoyed talking to him but I have some concerns.
He's several hours from me so I guess meeting in person would be hard. He's also a lot older (50) and I don't know if he'd ever want children at his age. For me I am still open to having kids (35). But when you have never even met someone it feels weird to bring up serious topics.
So far we just talk about random stuff and our conversation flows really well and we have similar interests which made me feel more close to him. Is it ok to just chat with someone for a long time? I don't know what to do. lol I'm getting attached and I don't know if I should. We obviously both enjoy talking to each other but where do we go from here
Does anyone else find metrics really annoying? I literally am doing well and then every once in a while leadership will talk to me about my uph being a little low today or some other weird metric and it's like seriously?!
It's not my fault the store is super crowded because I was willing to work the weekend, I am helping tons of customers who stop me with questions, have to scan every item including in produce and I had to chase down people to INF like 20 items today.
E-comm is draining and demoralizing. Amazon expects us to be robots. It kind of leaves me on edge when leadership watch me or stare at metrics on the computer.
Some of the team leaders have left so maybe they hated it too...they're probably expected to bother us about metrics because Amazon complains to them about the numbers
I switched departments and got all the training but still feel like I want to leave and go somewhere else. I even applied to some new jobs. I feel guilty because they took the time to train me. At the same time I would like to find something with better pay and explore some other fields because I've never loved working in retail. My question is how shitty is it to do this lol
I am in a smaller department so it's just me and a couple other employees and it would probably be annoying if I left. But I feel I do not want to wake up 1 year from now still at Whole Foods. I've only been in my new role a few months so I feel guilty. The pay is criminal unless you go into a leadership role. But the people in leadership seem even more stressed and unhappy. I also want to be able to go back to school and my schedule allows little freedom.
I'm just curious where 20s & 30s singles are meeting people. I've noticed the singles groups I've joined are mostly people who are 40s, 50s, and beyond. I am in my early 30s and could pass for being in my late teens or early 20s. And no I'm not necessarily against dating or hanging out with people 10+ years older but I just feel a bit out of place.
I hope I'll get used to it but yeah I feel like Innerview is way easier to navigate and is aesthetically more pleasing too
I am an in-store shopper and debating whether to switch departments. My choice would be grocery, produce production, whole body or prep foods in the back. Whole body has no openings but the others do. Part time hours that require weekends.
The thing I'm concerned about is being stuck with a shitty schedule or job and not being able to get out.
Part time shoppers seem to go on vacation easily, pick up shifts whenever they want (well, take what we can get and may have a chaotic schedule) and easily offer up shifts if our schedule changes. No one cares if we call out either. If we want to change our availability it's easy and no one cares. If we get another even full time job it's possible to stay a shopper too.
Not sure how much freedom there is in other departments in comparison.
I'm just curious are you happy with your pay or do you think it should be higher?
I've noticed a lot of people think others are bots now. People accused me of being a bot which was a weird experience. It's kind of sad we even have to worry about that now. It used to be all real people
Hi guys I was unable to go to a full-time medical assistant school because I didn't want to sacrifice not being able to work at my job and now I'm thinking I still want to get into the field. I'm just wondering how you guys did it because I don't know what the best way is.
I wonder if I could start as a receptionist somewhere if that would help me at all. There is also another school I could go to that does night classes I'm just nervous to invest in it. I'm also interested in medical billing and coding. My biggest worry is lack of experience in the medical field and maybe I don't know what I'm getting myself into
I'm just curious for anyone who works here full time do you think it is worth it? There are so many jobs online I am debating what to do
Honestly I'd like to have better health insurance (is the insurance good for psychotherapy?) and a better paycheck than part time working in e-comm
Some of these guys look nice and interesting but I don't know if I'd really want to kiss or have sex with them. I think I'm demisexual or something as well so it's kind of hard. Don't have dating experience. I think I can become more attracted to someone if I like their personality. Some profiles also include "friendship" in their looking for section so I'm like...maybe we can become friends? Advice? :/
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
Sorry if this is a super weird question but I went rafting for a few hours as a newbie and my guide made a dirty joke. I'm wondering if this is common in the rafting community because to me it was just really gross and inappropriate. I don't mind humor at all if it's clean. I'm glad I hadn't brought any kids along because I don't want them around that.
Obviously from the drama over the years people get triggered by each other, so why not let us be able to block each other in the game? Imagine how peaceful it would be.
I started questioning if this is the field for me and dropped out of my class after the first day. Teachers made us do class introductions where we share our greatest failure in life and other random things. They said we need to come out of our shells. I got nervous having to talk about myself to the class and share my answers. I felt so out of place but thought I really wanted this. I don't know anymore.
I'm wondering if anyone else has struggled with fear of managers? It affects my work career because I'm scared to put myself out there and ask about other job opportunities in my department or other departments. I assume they think I'm a lousy employee and would say no. I'm scared to even ask them questions sometimes. Every once in a while they have joked that I am bad at my job in some way (I think it is a joke because they laugh and I've seen them jokingly criticize other employees too). Anyway I keep seeing other employees even newer than me advance to higher roles or more hours, get rewards, train in other departments, etc. I feel lame for being scared of the people who are supposed to be there to help me.
I noticed mine dips down and it's already a few points below the 80 goal as it is. Between the crowds in the aisles and the staging area, stuff running out on the shelves, prep foods and others being behind on orders, and the exhaustion of shopping orders in a loud and busy environment, it is a bit challenging. Now that the ice cream sale is over I think that will help somewhat. lol
