Seems like something they could do, taking into account the schedule changes and the leadership ever present will to cut costs and automate the clubs to the maximum. How probable is that scenario in the near future?

Just a wild guess, but my take on the situation is that, after the shifts on the club management level and new scheduling system the next step will be eliminating a certain number of associates at certain clubs. How possible is that scenario? Seems... — read more 

Managers?

If a tier three club has seven managers and the O/N Mgr. works 2 to 12 or 11:30pm, it does not take a lot of calculation to figure that there is either going to be a lot of doubling up on managers in the building or another manager layoff. Especially... — read more
