So once again I can not access either WorkDay or Compass from my PC or phone. I can ONLY access them from the work office computer, which is ofc not ideal.

Before I sit on hold for four hours on my own time again... is there something more I can do than clear cookies and cache, try a new browser or device, or another internet connection? I have done all those to no avail. Both just sit and sit on login until they time out.

TIA.

Do any of you all have them?

I've TRYING to talk my SM into a weekly or every other 15 minute managers meeting so we're all on the same page. Things she's been telling me to do for months now are not being told the the other ASMs or the MM, and vice verse. I had no idea we weren't allowed to wear black shirts anymore, is just one example.

I mentioned the possibility of a meeting to the SM and she shot it down with 'I don't want to be here anymore than I am.'

So I found a day there was potential for overlap (Truck day) as we are SUPPOSED to work it already (but truthfully it's most commonly me and the stocker that do truck start to finish) but it was STILL shot down.

Why?

What is so bad about a meet up so we can all be on the same page?

Our DM doesn't want us texting each other unless it's an emergency, which is fine, but I spent the ENTIRE weekend post inventory doing the incorrect thing because I was told to do one thing, then the SM and MM were off a few days, and I get back to 'why did you do that?'

Because no one told me the plan had changed. At all. And it's not the first time and I'm not the only one it's happened to. It's not going to be the last if we don't do SOMETHING.

Do any stores have manager meetings? If so, how do I make them happen. This is getting to be a real strain working 16 hours on a thing only to be told it was now the wrong thing to do and 'Sorry, I forgot to tell you. Undo everything you did now and do it right in the next four hours!'

So I've gotta be missing something, but what is the big deal about inventory? My SM had been running around in a angry panicked tizy for a month prior like the world was going to end. We had inventory friday.

It was maybe three mornings of prep....mostly back room because we have no system in place, just boxes yeeted on pallets.

It was, from what I saw, far less invasive than hunting for zero sales, which mean taking the inventory down to palette to find the ONE STUPID BOX. At least with this you just stage to scan and count and you're not in trouble for not finding what you're supposed to.

What am I missing? What's the big deal? Is there some higher consequence to doing 'bad' at inventory? It was boring, but the company they hired really did most of the work.

SM took four days off after. Literally....why? I'm very confused, and I have to assume it's because I don't understand the entire process.

WOW! Thank you everyone. I'm not going to be replying directly but thank you so much for the ideas.

1. Thought I posted this in EastCheapandVegan, oops.
2. thank you EVERYONE. The beans are soaked and I'll be experimenting after work with some of these ideas.

For REASONS, I now have 10 lbs of assorted dried beans. Great Northern, Kidney and some called 'cranberry turtle beans'.

Beans and rice are always a winner, as are refried, but what else do you all do with beans?

TIA!
