Managers were paid on these days if they did any work at all, even from home. Now what? I feel like nobody is telling us the expectations, rules, typical of Follett to roll out a new plan with no info.

They [Follett] manipulate labor law changes and cut my actual wages. I am one of those middle managers that was salaried and now cut to hourly. Follett basically forced me to quit my job because of what they expect for me to get done and what they... — read more 

Just curious to see if people are choosing lower benefits packages because of the paycut? Another way for Follett to lower their expenses.

I'm recovering a topic that's now hidden under all the anger, betrayal, angst and disapointment that comes after management messes with the rank and file. While they were planning your pay cuts, management was celebrating at a football game. That's... — read more

Damn, Follett is so bad it makes hard core Republicans want to join a Union. THINK ABOUT THAT RAY! You don't realize the insurrection you've created.

I cannot believe this. How have they not declared a winner in the Hallowen Costume Contest yet! I don't have to stand for this kind of treatment!

Their idea of fixing things is by having stupid contests and making us jump through hoops. I promise you, you show the stores an ounce of respect and give them the control back, they will fix the stores. You want to transform...then knock off the... — read more 

Actions are louder than words. We just moved you from being a professional to an hourly employee. And cut your pay doing so. But hey we just recognized you on the quad. Public recognization doesn't pay the bills A--WIPES!!!!!!

Glad to be gone. Really sounds like a true pit of despair.

This new law was meant to increase the pay of those making under 47,000 that were exempt employees, not change some management positions (no manager3 or directors-why?) And cut their pay $2.00 an hour. Now, to get the same pay weekly you have to work... — read more

Highly compensated executives minimum went from $100,000 to $134,0000 per year salary and the people in the stores who generate the income get pay cuts........ yep seems fair and in true follett fashion.

We have to get it below 40 by 12/31. Bet they start taking away weeks of vacation. Work 25 yrs, get 5 weeks vacation? Bet that is next to go.
