  • Costco evening employee here:

    Yeah, we check those at closing time. As well as behind the mattresses, the bathrooms and anywhere else someone might reasonably hide. There are generally people stocking stuff for 3-4 hours after the store closes and from 5 hours before the store opens in the morning.

    There's a small window when the place is completely empty, but it's only from about midnight to 4am.

  • AS a bystander in all this, could all of you... CITE YOUR DAMN SOURCES! If you have proof of your assertions via studies or research papers, LINK THEM!

    Why?

    Because this topic is of interest to me and I want to be informed with actual scientific data. Not by a person, but by peer-reviewed studies.

  • 'Breaking point': Quebec premier asks Trudeau to slow influx of asylum seekers
  • Malfeasance

    Malfeasance is an act that is illegal and causes physical or monetary harm to someone else. Malfeasance is intentional conduct that is wrongful or unlawful, especially by officials or public employees.

    And yes, I see a great many good things done by Trudeau. But, you obviously disagree with me and I doubt anything either of us say will convince the other so we'll just leave it at that.

  • 'Breaking point': Quebec premier asks Trudeau to slow influx of asylum seekers
  • Much as I do like Trudeau compared to Harper, it's far past time for Trudeau's actions to stand or fall on their own merits.

    That said, the right-wing of Canadian politics is never going to beat Trudeau if they keep going with the insult and belittling route. They've done it in every election they've faced Trudeau in and lost every, single, time. The Conservatives should have won they last election, and blew it because the didn't think Trudeau had the savvy or skill to come back from the blackface scandal. The truth is, Justin is an excellent political operator and usually one of the best there is in working social media.

    Polievere only has a solid chance now due to a combination of voter fatigue (almost no PM makes it past 10 years) and some serious missteps by Trudeau. As far as malfeasance goes, you better have some solid proof, like in a court of law level proof, and be able to make it stick, without you sounding like a raving lunatic who is best ignored.

  • Oh no ...
  • Used Ubuntu Linux for a year back around '08-'09. Didn't have a great experience and went back to Windows. Since then I've never had a reason to try it again. That said, I've nothing but respect for those that use a flavour of Linux or Mac OS. At the end of the day doing the things you need done is what matters and if a different OS than mine gets you there, that's awesome.

  • 31-year-old teacher quit her job. Now she works at Costco—and boosted her income by 50%: ‘I've never been happier' (these are not feel good stories, this is sad)
  • My ASM showed me his contract. It was for 55k/year. He expected to see a 6k bonus as well. That's it, and yeah, his hours were and are shitty. He works 10-11hrs per day on average, 6 days a week. One stretch he worked 23 days straight.

    At Costco Canada, and I'm reading this straight out of the Employee Handbook right now, my wage will top out at $28.45/hr, as a front-line employee. Every 1,040 worked (26 weeks @ 40/hrs per week) I am getting a 1$/hr raise. Those amounts are set and not discretionary. There are 8 steps from starting wage to topped out and I'm at step 3 atm. This means that in roughly 30 months I will be making $28.45/hr.

    When I reach 12,000 total hours worked I also start getting a payout of 3k every 6 months. I keep trying to convince my ASM to quit Walmart and sign on with Costco...

  • I work in a Costco. They treat me very well. Far better than the Walmart I worked at prior. Pay is far better too. As an example, I helped run the night shift as an Overnight Support Manager at Walmart. My topped out pay in that role was 50 cents an hour more than my starting pay at Costco. Now, 18 months later, I make more as a frontline grunt at Costco than I did in that management role.

    3 years from now, as a frontline grunt, I'll be making more than the Assistant Manager I worked under at Walmart.
