This email went out to store who are already actively in liquidation. So sorry for those hoping somehow your store is safe. It isn't. You're all closing eventually.

WHO CARES???????? @Stop worrying about how ASM's are being Paid. That's as critical, as how the waiters/waitresses were being Paid on the Titanic. In 6 Months, all of this will be a moot point. Sort of like a passenger on the Titanic can complain about the menu or whatever but in A Few Hours, all of that was a moot point. Same concept. This is a MORIBUND (google it if you don't Know the word) company. It's like discussing the last meal of a prisoner on Death row. Interesting topic to discuss, I guess, but will be meaningless very soon.

What matters is only which stores are closing and when. How they Pay the employees of a store closing in 3 Months is about as interesting or significant as what The Bar does with my empty Beer Bottles after Closing Time. Not important, in the great scheme of things.........

Bed bath and beyond made this change a year from March.
Fast forward to now when a good majority do not have ASMs, and now only have hourly supervisors, and a salaried SM.
They had a massive class action lawsuit because they were not paying ASMs overtime as they were doing hourly associate functions such as ringing a register and working freight.

Well for those of us ASM's that do work, now we can't be abused and made to work tons of hours.
And if we do have to stay "extra " hours we will get paid OT!
