Unbelievable.

I know the beginning of the year is always pretty bad with hours, but this is ridiculous. A good friend of mine from a different store told me her manager told her that Michael's is doing an "understaffed model" or something like that. Just hearing that alone and seeing how much my store is struggling to have more than the cashier and manager scheduled, it'd make perfect sense.

Doesn't just hearing that make you upset? I can feel it in my gut that if my entire store walked out, we'd all be replaced within days. People only want to work with Michael's for the discount. The company looks cheap and to me looks like they're losing money with all this. Can't pay us, can't give us hours, can't start a single new policy that doesn't make everyone mad. They don't care about their employees one bit, but it's terrible how obvious they can be and be fine.

I really want to hear what people think about all this. It's really important that we bring attention to how poorly they treat their workers. From pay to terrible HR to the terrible managers company wide. If they want to look more "professional", making their employees upset is just not how you do it.
