Has anyone had success asking for a raise increase?

I am in FE Management and looking for ideas from any other stores for Front End IPM incentives. We have a wheel currently that the employee with the top IPM for the week can spin for a prize, but I am looking for something new. Any ideas welcome! Thanks!

hi all. i recently started at the distribution center as sanitation general help. the job is really good for the most part, the pay, pto, the people etc. the only gripe i have is how they treat newer employees. first off, i really hate the bid system for the different jobs as i find it unfair if you haven’t been here for that long as its seniority based so newer people (like me) or people who’ve only have a few years under their belts are essentially locked out of ever winning a bid job. i’ve only been here for a few months now so i know i wont get as much as people who’ve been here for 10+ years. but the higher ups dont seem to want to train anyone on anything. i’ve been asking to learn some other stuff thats a little more time consuming and more moving parts but nothing is happening. im still getting stuck on small jobs that take maybe only 4 hours so i have to really stretch out these jobs or walk around wondering what to do for the next 7.5 hours. is this common?? what should i do and how do i go about it??

any advice/answers would be greatly appreciated

Rant time..

So the quality of the prepared foods that I've tried is reasonably ok..not necessarily reasonable for the price but thats been documented plenty. Especially that small Mac and cheese for like 15$ who in the world is buying that?? But I digress..this is not my complaint today.

My issue is the damm lids on any container from prepared foods never stay on..the bowls..forget about it im pretty sure the only thing securing them is the price tag. Sushi. Same problem..some of the chicken or dinners same thing. How hard is it to find a lid that fits snug enough that it can survive the trip home in a bag. I actually have to keep the bowls on my lap driving otherwise half of it spills out..

Anyone else or am I out here on lid island by myself??

Anyone else ever experience a new store manager coming to your store and next thing you know every single manager that was under the original store manager is fired or pressured to the point of quitting??

Yeah sure we don't know what these meetings look like behind closed doors but this store manager has treated every original manager like complete trash from day 1. Before anyone says report this behavior many employees have and nothing has been done. The VA division especially southern has changed so much.

Im so sorry if this is stupid to ask. Ive been at wegmans for about a year. I like it here and i would like to stay with this company. My living situation isn’t ideal. Im looking to move out hopefully within the next year. I would love to stay close to where i am currently, but i don’t know how that’s going to work out. However there is quite a few wegmans locations around and im not opposed to starting at a different location, if i end up moving further away. My question is, how exactly does transferring work? Of course i know i should speak to an employee advocate but since nothing is happening yet I thought i could come here and ask other employees who have have been through this. Im just trying to get an idea of what could happen. Thank you

hi im trying to apply as a cashier but i havent seen any updated info on this except from a year ago, do part time team members or cashiers get pre employment drug tested or drug tested for things like marijuana, regardless of the state its in? im talking legal and illegal states

I was in the Wegmans parking lot and this car pulls up two rows next to us and then about five more cop cars show up and then I heard this guy get out of his car and they’re telling him to stay down. They have guns and everything and then like 20 more cop car show up.

Why do you all seem so miserable all the time? I am a food lion man but I swing in to wegmans once a week for the sliced hatch chili cheddar cheese and to take a look at the train. All the employees at my local wegmans seem grim.

I’ve always been curious about something regarding Wegmans. I’ve been told that they do not do background checks or drug testing for part timers. Let’s say, for example , a part time employee works for the company for 5-10 years. They apply for a full-time position and are offered it contingent upon background check and drug testing.

Drug testing is not to be worried about but there are some past charges that might be iffy (no theft or shoplifting). Could they screw themselves by doing the background check? Not only with the full time position but their part time position as well? Even if they’ve been a good employee for 5+ years ? Me and a friend always thought about this. And the charges aren’t insane (like murder, arson, sex crimes, etc) and the charges are over 5 years old.

Would they just not give you full time and you remain part time, or would they discharge your part-time position as well?

This post isn't to disparage Wegmans, in fact the store near me is clean and the employees are very helpful and quite friendly. I'm just wondering, and this is coming from someone who's primary responsibility in the household is not grocery shopping. There was a time in maybe the early 2000s where my local Wegmans seemed to be the premier, upscale grocery experience. I walked in a few weeks ago to get a few things and just by memory began gravitating towards the areas that I remembered having the items I was interested in. What I noticed was that the side station with cuts of smoked salmon and other fine cuts of meat on display was replaced by a cheap looking pizza section. The fresh fish and seafood section and meat sections were still there in an opposite corner, but seem to have a little less of a selection. Finally, I was literally looking for English muffins and could not for the life of me find them. I must have walked around for 15 minutes. I haven't been to Wegmans for so long because it seemed way out of my price range at the time, but now that I can afford those things it was kind of a lackluster experience. Feel like I kind of missed the window.

I have an interview tomorrow to work in the grocery department. What are some of the tasks you have to do in this department? I'm just nervous that I won't physically be able to meet the requirements as I do need accommodations due to a genetic disorder. (im mobile and able to lift and bend but only to a certain degree) I'm just curious on if it's very physically demanding. I'm nervous to say anything out of the fear of them not wanting to hire me.

How does this compare to Wegman's employees?

A friend's kid is looking for a job and DeCicco's is opening up a location nearby but Wegman's is also hiring.

If you are ordering a Cart to Curb pickup, for the love of God, please pick a preferred replacement for your items or indicate that you would prefer a refund. If you don't select either of those options, you are probably going to get an item that you don't want. Shoppers will do their best to pick a replacement item that is as close to your original item as possible, but they are not psychic. They would prefer not to ruin your dinner plans because you were too busy to make a proper shopping list. Also, if you are submitting a cart to curb pickup on Monday, be prepared for a lot of replacements. The associates are doing their best to restock the store after the usual busy weekends, but it is dependent on when and if trucks arrive with items to restock the shelves. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😂 (Please don't say that you don't have time for that. If you don't have time to shop for yourself or even make a proper list you need to reevaluate your life decisions)

I have worked all over the front end, excluding maintenance. I’ve also cross trained in Customer Service and the Accounting Office. I’m 18 and will be graduating in a few weeks and I’ve been considering stepping into a FE Coordinator position over the summer and while attending a local state school for college. I just wanted to ask for some advice about how demanding the position can be, what the responsibilities are like, and if it’s even worth stepping into.

I just recently started working in the pizza department at Wegmans, I don’t mind the environment but one of my team leads is awful. Today I was talking with the other one and brought up some issues that I had with him including, disregards for food safety, poor treatment of employees, and just generally being pretty disrespectful. I have experience in management and I could immediately see that he was causing everyone in the department a lot of stress, I was honestly going to just find another job, but I felt for all the college kids too scared to say anything. I do feel bad because obviously I don’t want to put anyone else’s job at risk, but he makes everyone uncomfortable. Anyways after talking with my cool team lead I was asked to talk to one of the chefs, and now tomorrow I have to speak with the head chef. I’m just not sure what to expect to come from this but hopefully some positive change for the department

Can we get some of the store jams playing through the bathroom speakers? It’s like a funeral in there with piss and shart sounds.

Bought a few four packs of beer today and instead of the usual punch the DOB in they actually scanned the back of my License. I will never buy any beer at Wegmans ever again. Sure they will tell you it is only to verify your age. By scanning the ID they have captured all the info on the license and probably the photo as well. This is BS they already admit to facial recognition being used. Who are they going to sell my info to? They will say no one but really we all know that is a lie. This is just another step towards digital ID’s and them having control over who might be allowed to shop at thier stores. If you need beer find a local Brewery that cans and sells it in the tap room. They will appreciate you for it.
