Has anyone had someone in their store drop to part time? If so are they getting weekends off and leaving 2 hours every night before we close? We have 2 reps who dropped down and haven't worked a weekend and haven't worked past 6 when we're open until 8.

I went to part time back before COVID hit the US, best thing I ever did. Shifts are 930-6 or 12-8 with 3 days off. No, weekends aren't guaranteed off. Usually the 3 days are off in a row and it's random.
They want tenured people to walk. They know most reps will never get over the individual commission structure being taken away. I agree when people say then look for another job but that is just not realistic at this time. Covid has damaged the economy and hundreds of thousands of people are currently out of work. Look for a new job now ? Take a sick day on the weekends if you want a day off. Want more time ? then say you don’t feel well, maybe you got covid maybe not. How about taking a month or two off ? Try FMLA it works wonders. They messed with your money and now give you the c-appiest schedules because of low head count. Time to play hard ball.
I went part time. It was a huge mistake. I've worked every weekend and have all the c-appy shifts, too. The only benefit is that I have 3 days off per week. I'm planning on taking some classes to finish my degree and then I'm going to peace tf out.
