So a few weeks ago I interviewed and was offered a retail shift lead position. I was immediately taken aback by the low starting pay. I’m a supervisor where I’m at currently making $19.50 in VA. I’d take a pay cut still even after negotiating. They settled at $18/hr to bring me on. BUT I have to be willing to transfer to surrounding Loves around me if the need is there. Some of which range anywhere from 29 min away - 1hr away. I’m supposed to call the SM tomorrow to either confirm or deny the offer. Would you all run and just keep looking for something better or is there a silver lining with the company? Thanks everybody!

Edit to add: My current job is incredibly high stress as I manage anywhere up to 56 folks / day counting staff and clients together, and I feel like I’m mentally crumbling as I work with folks with intellectual and physical disabilities. Would Loves put me in the same down hill spiral?

Hey y’all, my crew and I saw Amy from 1,000lb sisters is supposed to be at Salem civic center for pride and we looked to buy tickets on the civic center website, and saw absolutely nothing on the website pertaining to this. Do yall have any info on this event?

Yall, I’m so burned out and haven’t even been doing this job a year yet. Management held an opportunity for staff to nominate (2) floor leads and I was one of them. I only kept the nomination because they bumped my pay to $19.50/hr but management does not communicate shit to us, upper management maintains a “better than you” attitude, clients AND employees stay hollering at me all day, our PTO accrual is only 4.62 hr every 2 weeks and that’s supposed to be your vacation AND sick time. This ain’t the job market to jump ship rn but I just wanna go back to driving a forklift, do my job, go the hell home. At this point I’d rather go back to being a supervisor in retail. Anyway, there’s more to it, but that’s the gist just for me to vent my mild infuriations. Thanks for reading!
