Freight Push

Kath and other execs keep saying they want to raise our revenue passed 100B towards 150B in the next few years. I feel like the freight Push is just a ploy to increase sales - every category is overskued with random items, getting trucks with 6-12 of... — read more 

How big is the will to form a union at this point?

To be completely clear I’m not pro or against unionizing and I wouldn’t like for this thread to turn into that sort of debate. However, one thing is for sure, there was never this much union talk at the company. Has the will to form a union really... — read more 

Yes, it is the same in all of the Clubs

Forced to do your old Job...?

Recently left the Backroom and moved to Produce, lost $2.50 an hour going from level 7 to 2. Backroom associate quits and they put me back there. Is there a Policy against this? Or are my hands tied?
