I think every associate who posts on the site is grateful to be getting a paycheck. But gratitude doesn't mean putting up with bs continuously because you need the money. If a company can getting away with taking advantage of their employees they will do it in a heartbeat. At some point employees should say, hey, wait a minute. This isn't right. Belk can do better. It's not the people as much as it is the process of how they want things done. There is a disconnect between what corporate believes is best for the stores and what store associates and managers experience every single day. it's one thing to be at a desk on Tyvola making these decisions and another to have to on the floor unnecessarily shifting the same merchandise around every other day, dealing with super long lines and irate customers, pushing these high interest cards to people who probably can 't afford it, annoying them for email addresses and this stupid app, giving zero hours for any kind of recovery, no loss prevention, shorter lunch hours, more frayed nerves. Sometimes you have to do something to make the executives listen.
I haven't read a better post on this forum in a long time. I absolutely agree, @1wyj+17VznGaG. We are quite apathetic and we have to stop being like that!
