marketwatch recently posted an article about how BBB is shortening store hours and turning air conditioning down (or would it be up?) in stores to save money. i also just saw a notice on zipline reminding us of the confidentiality agreement and not to talk to the media about business practices. sounds like employees are getting sick of 90+ degree temperatures outside and no adjustment to in store temps to save some cash, and are reaching out....or maybe it's just a coincidence

What everyone is missing here is one of the great questions of humankind: Do you turn the AC up or down to lower the temperature?
Just hit the override.
What is with the coloring pages anyway??
I just don’t get it!!
This just blows my mind
Never I’m my 36 years of retail experience have I seen coloring pages in a place of business break room
Could someone please explain this childish kindergarten aspect
Next we are going to receive scissors with the rounded tips
SMs have to parrot what corporate tells them to. That is part of the problem with this company you are only allowed one truth the one that they is given you in the kool aid or should I say popsicles and pizza oh let's no forget the coloring pages and events calendar.Wonder what day will be marked as ligidation starts?
Hysterical! Go find another job! There are retail jobs paying $18 hr to pack out groceries and you get time and a half on Sundays.
Wow. That article is kind of embarrassing. Shows you how much they care about the workers.

No wonder why I’ve be sweating
Now we all know the true answer
First you take away our hrs
You take away our livelihood so that we are struggling to make a living
And now you take away our comfort working environment
But you want to give us mental health
Because you care
Wow!!
As I lay on that couch and spew out all the things you do to us you seriously don’t care
And we have to wear an apron which adds another layer. I’ve been walking around sweating for the last 3 months as well as my entire store. No one cares if we’re hot and uncomfortable.
Confidentiality went out the window a long time ago
When BBB isn’t transparent as they say that are
BBB likes to keep things under wraps until the end, just look how they treated the store employees that lost their jobs due to store closing
No warning no retention have to beg and plead to get a transfer and stay till the end
SM’s are just as bad they copy and paste everything that corporate tells them to
