Hire vendors, hire inexperienced people. Get vendors permanent job. Make the work environment feel less inclusive and more corrupt. And tada, you have your formula for discouraging talent and making them hate your company more. I know walmart is... — read more

Anyone think with the new "Store Lead" "SM In training" position with the 18-24 month training plan that's it's because they are going to get rid of some very high paid SM's in the near future?

If you’re not happy then find another job
Let me preface this by saying this isn’t one of those ‘just quit’ posts. In fact, it’s the opposite. We know this company doesn’t care about any of us. All it cares about is the bottom line. Anybody would be smart to look for a way out. But with the... — read more

Are there any APMs AP ASMs out there that also think 4% raise is a joke?
Are there any APMs AP ASMs out there that also think 4% raise is a joke? The coaches start out higher than us. The leads aren’t far behind us in pay. Yet the amount of responsibility, expectations and pressure we get is astronomical.

Oct 1 call ins
Interesting that this policy change comes with GWP-Workday. You need people there not calling in to make it work. you have to eliminate social distancing to work in a team. Coronasvirus coming back in round two. Layoffs and not enough people.
