My club has been undergoing a big reduction of the backroom associates. That segment has been cut to the bone, and to tell you the truth, I really don’t know how they're handling all of the work. Has something similar happened at any other clubs?

I WAS a manager (last day yesterday) and things are NOT going to get better. See the light at the end of the tunnel and stop holding on things ARE not going to change for the better. Believe me when I say there is MUCH better out there

Anyone else having trouble getting vacation approved. Over a month and it just sat there till the week requested and its still pending.

Anyone else having a meeting with the backroom?? Details please.

Does anybody REALLY think it’s a problem with Workday? It’s probably HO’s attempt to get more people to quit. Work them so short handed so they’ll quit. I don’t trust anything they say or do. Doesn’t make any sense. Its been going on for well over... —  read more

Is it actually true that managers and supervisors can't date people beneath them or is it just generally looked down on? Looking for an actually policy, I don't see it at all

Just wondering how many Marketing Team Leads have been encouraged to take the assessment and apply for a COS position?

Just wondering if any clubs are doing well with block scheduling.Do any clubs have enough associates??

One fresh one manager from each market picked to go to Arkansas...hmmmmm

At least this is the case at my club, and I’ve been there for 10- years. There were some hard times, but never have I seen associates turning on each other in the way they do now. Is it the same mess at other locations ,as well?

cue excuses and non-answers about how being a fresh lead isn't worth the headache or how you were constantly looked over for a promotion... meanwhile all you can do is obsess over how much fresh leads get paid
