Tomorrow is the big day. Y'all ready? I keep going over scenarios of what it could be and can't figure it out. I can't see the stores reopening but I'm also going to be angry if they lay some people off and want others to come back in to work at a store level. This pandemic is far from over. Good luck everyone.
My store, one of the few largest stores in my area, is being used for cds, we are seeing a substantial increase in orders. I suppose a furlough or maybe not for me. No barricades needed here, store is being used for warehousing/shipping. We do have a clean store!
Some bed bath stores with harmon and personal hygiene items will remain open. They'll barricade section of any non essential departments. Limited amount of employees will be required to work store but many are furlough.
It's going to be some bs if they're willing to keep full timers but not continue to pay while stores are closed and they're off work. This whole thing sounds shady AF.
Don’t really know maybe same thing or limited pay. Probably going to keep sm
So what would they do with us full timers
DM very tight lipped think company wide furlough at least for pt. Full timers they are not going to want to pay unemployment.
Gut feeling says that the part timers are going to be toast.
Looking at what has happened with other retailers this week, I’d guess we are all being furloughed. We sure aren’t reopening.
The 4th? Is that like an April fool joke??? The President just extended shut down thru April. Ain't a thing at any bbb that's essential so much to reopen. And nobody but id–ts would come shopping. I'm guessing that is not the news coming.
Supposedly to reopen on the 4th. I dont see that happening.
Ugh. Anxious.
I was told to expect an email Thursday afternoon around 3pm with conf call phone number and pin.
No clue on layoffs. thats my guess though. apparently our DM was very tight lipped about what the call would be about. wouldnt be the first time they hid something
Should people be expecting to be laid off?
our ops manger said it will be for everyone and your MYHR email will get the info on how to listen in on the call. i have yet to recieve email but they said the call would be on thursday at 330pm EST
I believe it’s for all employees. Everyone will be receiving an email through email given via myHR
When is this conference call? What layers of management are invited to it.
Hobby lobby termed everyone via email. Not a good sign.
Well I guess "the fat lady is getting ready to sing"
Can't be good news. Look at Macys, GAP, Kohls, JCP.
