Our hours have been cut again.

I’ve been with this company for 5 years and it really feels like things are coming to a stand still with employees. This new review process has really gotten under my skin and for the past 2 months I’ve only been allowed 35-37 hours a week as a full... — read more 

Next restructuring

Aren't we due another restructuring? That seems to be the main tool management uses when they need to pretend they're doing something.

Macon store

Is pretty bad when they conserve full-time 37 hours or less. To me full time is 40 hours, and the management sucks they expect one person to do everything & know everything! Everyone that’s good has Already left or plan on leaving. In micromanage... — read more 

Sears

Keep cutting back the full-time hours to encourage to them to leave. Eventually a part-timers ran store will turn off customers looking for experienced help. I think the company is not getting the best corporate decision makers. Something something... — read more 

Calling it quits after many years.

Bass pro shops

You would think a Multimillion dollar company would up the pay for all of it’s employees with cost of living going up. But no they haven’t and probably never going to, this is why the company is loosing some many people.

I feel stupid for staying here

Pretty much all my colleagues who left now have higher pay. Staying here means totally underselling yourself. Now that I've started applying for other jobs, I feel pretty stupid that I didn't do it a long time ago. It seems really difficult to... — read more 

The real reason your hours are being cut

The real reason is the off cycle pay increases that every hourly employee received in 2021 to stay competitive with the minimum wage increase is eating through the payroll because they did not give any stores any more payroll dollars to compensate... — read more

I wish we had more leaders

It’s nothing but a good ole boys club up in here. At the store level there is no direction - no leadership to be precise. There is no such thing as lead by example. Only managers delegating away but won’t do follow ups or coach. He-l, most of the... — read more
