#bc shifts are 8-4 and store opening special projects are heavy manual labor

[punk-pins]

obviously no need to specify what company u work for or anything but why do u need to travel so often for work! i hope ur getting compensated for this aaaaa

i’m a field merchandiser for a retail company, so I work at my home location day to day, but I travel to help other stores in my district with special projects on an as-needed basis for a few days at a time. other stores can weasel out of sending their field merch on a project on account of their store sucking so bad at the moment they absolutely need that extra body, but in general my store is the best in our district, so I’m almost always on the list lol.

I also travel to help with new store openings in my region, which is usually a hateful month long process. store planners tend to lack souls due to being on the road mon-fri every week of the year; there’s a sort of glazed look in their eyes that gets stronger every project. this makes it easy to commit wage theft on driving days <3 and yes I do get compensated for all travel work, they cover my mileage and hotel on top of of my regular wages, plus a food budget. it’s designed so that I do make a little extra when I travel to incentivize me to not quit on the spot when I start losing it in the hotel on week 3.
