Is it bullsh**? Will any conversations happening Monday be only about the Customercentric deal and the new attendance policy? What can specialists expect when they go to work on Monday?

Sure terminations at end of October. Where did you get that information?
The terminations are coming at the end of October and it won't be just specialists. That's why the hiring frenzy now for part time.
Sorry I'm referring to the Specialist position going away. Since the topic is Specialist Rumor and the post says "bye,bye"
the announcement was made at today's morning meeting. Computer will be generating schedules and approximately every 8th weekend off.
To the person who posted "bye,bye". When is the announcement?
Within the new policy, it basically says that if a Specialist does not want to work the hours mandated, you are free to step down to CSA or go elsewhere.
Who cares...
so with the new customer centric hours, what time should we tell the shoplifters to come by when you are short staffed
to my knowledge this has nothing to do with specialist and no one is losing their job monday. they will just let the new schedule sort this out company-wide. a lot of ppl in the test stores didnt like the change and have slowly quit. those who quit just wont be replaced if they do in fact reduce specialist headcount or headcount of any other position affected by CSC. as i see it based on customer centric scheduling the goal, sure, will result in a sizable turnover, and those who replace will be hired in at lower rates, but ultimately the goal of this scheduling is to squeeze hours out of the stores. thats really the big goal with all of this. part timers are guaranteed no hours. if you dont have open availability you may never get scheduled or at least not what you want. plumbing, electrical, cabinet big time, and pro specialist are all specifically listed to be treated with special treatment....the other specialist will be working mid-day shifts. if youre a specialist that services pro in a big way...i dont see you going anywhere....
Bye, bye
