Wait until week 10 to see more changes released..
Company is continuing to put a big divide with departments. Fresh earning up to $7.00 more after completing the cbls
How many years do floor associates have to work to get the same pay.
No wonder Costco is beating us.
I can tell you right now that I'm not asking a Sam's club meat cutter how to cook and to what temp any meat needs to be cooked to. But if that makes them feel better in justifying their little pay raise, so be it....
Start forking every fresh truck that comes in when you go on the truck. See how long it is before they start having a “fresh receiver”
Stack stuff on top of pallets that can easily be crushed that make a mess.
There are no cameras in coolers.
When I was Meat Lead 20 years ago we unloaded our own trucks to avoid this kind of stuff. Maybe you new entitled overpaid meat leads who have 1/4th of the responsibilities can at least learn to drive a lift to drop your own pallets.
It is quite apparent that all of you complaining about “Fresh”, have
never worked in the depts. their training is not CBLs. It is an 18 month program. You need to pass
all requirements. When have you worked in bakery during the Holidays? Or helped in meat during
their busy seasons, Memorial Day -
Labor Day and then the holidays?
When have you helped produce
rotate stock, pull what does not meet our standards? Floor associates work hard regardless of your area (. f/e, h/l, center, etc). But the fact is MEMBERS BY FOOD !!!
They are not buying a cell phone , tv, jewelry, or tablet everyday.
Look at your sales for your area.
Probably spend more on payroll in your area then you did in sales.
Everyone works hard, but you need the focus on the most income producing area.
PISS ON FRESH
All departments added together in fresh don't compare anywhere close to 18. 2 Mgrs 4 leads and a ton of payroll for less sales than 18.
anyone can be trained to sort fruit too ! or bake cakes or clean pizza ovens..............fork driving in most companies is considered a skilled position.............
Seriously people? Anyone can be trained to drive a forklift. If you are so unhappy, LEAVE!!! You are the exact reason long term associates get a bad name. You get a paycheck. You aren’t doing the company a personal favor by coming to work. Get over yourself. Go out in the real world if you think you have it so bad.
To the poster who says ask your pharmacy and optical associates how much they make well I can tell you that with this program fresh will be making more than the health and wellness specialty departments and in some cases as much as the optical manager if not more. That isn’t right that fresh would make more than a health and wellness associate. Not just anyone can do those jobs or have the willingness or aptitude to learn them and fresh doesn’t have to constantly worry about following HIPPA laws or dealing with the crap storm that comes from management and other associates when you have to fight with them about not coming in and using your computers or fax machines because it is a HIPPA law violation and then being told you aren’t being a team player. So yeah their new fresh program is bull sh--. If they are going to take care if one department then they need to do the same for all departments!
we have to be certified to drive lifts !!! where is our extra money !!!....20 plus years I Have had to re certify ....where is my extra money?? Driving forklift is a SKILL sorting the fresh trucks and throwing damages in no way compares !!...............
Those from the floor who complain about fresh certified pay, have never worked in fresh nor have felt the pressure of 24/7 neck breathing from your FAM CM and FMM. Also if this certification concept is new to new. Just ask your Pharmacy techs and Optical people how much they make. Better take a seat
It’s not cbls. They have to be certified with a vine rep. The details aren’t even out there yet.
