The call will not be a whole co call. They will break it down into smaller groups. And whatever it is the SMs will be told to execute the plan. Whatever that may be. We will find out this week if anything. ASM 50s signed an agreement to work 50 hours for a pay. They cant just change that. They can let them go but cant breetch a contract.
I’ve heard that New England stores have it at 7am. My SM doesn’t usually come in till 8 due to child care but will be in with the rest of us at 7 now.
Soooo...tomorrows call.....is it to k–l ft asm of both???????
Hey corporate people working from home...how many hours a day do you wear your mask. We at store level wear ours from8-11 hours a day depending on our position. Oh and it is allergy season and we all get that death stare when we sneeze or cough but you wouldn’t know that because you are safe at home working. But that’s ok. Tomorrow when the big news is out we will all be home , wait not working.
Seriously. Without the asm and sms they will go down so fast. Whoever is advising them at corporate never worked in a store. Most of the previous leadership team aside from ST worked in the stores and know the business.
They can’t blame COVID on this folks just greed.
Totally agree. But they dont care. If they give us severance, I'll take it and cuss some and leave. Be better off in long run
I am an asm 50 who in the last few days has stopped several shoplifters saving the company a lot of money. But you don’t see that or all of the other work I do. But that’s ok just eliminate my job tomorrow like you have for so many before. Keep hiring those $10 am hour kids who steal you blind.
Great work MT
If tomorrow is the day I will go out in a blaze of glory that BBB will truly regret.
I see multiple class action lawsuits coming.
Enough is enough. We, the loyal stupid employees who gave everything to this company will prevail. We gave up family, family functions, holidays why...because we cared and for what to get thrown away like yesterday’s trash. They were always greedy cutthroats. Tomorrow will prove it true.
Asm 50 gone. Please we are the ones who run the stores. Someone has to unlock the doors. I can see them forcing us to take a pay cut w 40 hours though.
Yes max freight coming in at 500+, 1-full time receiving lead and 1 to 2 part time help process freight - put away team is all part time maybe 3 people max then passing the rest put way to hard side & soft side. Some cages and U boats are being pushed back to receiving and carry over for the next day but now freight will not be every day. Receiving and put away were alway Monday- Friday no weekends but now all that has changed. Mandatory weekend day now has to be worked for both receiving and put way. Mgrs are ordering Pull and Corp is ordering regular freight.
PT has no interest in helping the company. Especially with what they make. A lot of FT will quit if they make PT. ASM 50s will be gone for sure. And most of them are who run the stores.
Heavy loads of freight coming thru the door.... are they pushing it out while they have FT to do the job and deal with it ????
FT to PT. other companies have done it in the past. Linens n things, Bradlees, Caldors, Pergament, ... going back many years ago, Alexander's, A&S, Korvettes, Orhbachs, S Klein, Gertz, Gimbels even Woolworth's. Soon Sears and JC Penney's. Look at where those companies are today.
Have they been giving severance like last rounds?
I'm a SM , and was told to be on the call for 11 AM
9am to 10:30 is what I heard?
What time is the call
At what time is the call taking place?
Horrible to think you can be full time forced to part time. You lose half your salary and benefits. How can people that rely on that salary and benefits survive.
Oh no its SM company wide. Probably several different calls to avoid call fiasco from furlough
Looks like the call is only for the NE. There are 342 invited to participate. There are no loss prevention or operations listed on the call. It can’t be a good thing
Glad I am no longer a part of the madness.
Sending positive vibes to all of us as tomorrow is gonna s—.
someone always has the inside on the "BIG" news but never knows what it is is lol good info right there waste of time
My store isn’t a fulfillment store and my SM has the same call
The call is for SM that are fulfilment stores only. Changes will effect those stores.
Way too many employees in this company
So they will be letting everyone know which stores will be closing and who will be let go because of it?
But they won't tell us until Thursday. All the big sh– happens on Thursdays.
I think the full timers will be forced to be part time and the 50 hour asms will be 35 hours. Just a thought
No ops or LP on invite for the call. Doesn’t look good.
Big lengthy conference call on Monday. Should be interesting.
Last time I was on a call like that, we were told we were letting 900 department managers go...
Bonuses for everyone?
Margie ASM will go down on anybody
