FTOWs? Like what a joke job title

Come on when is the company going to see they F$&@ed up?

We got what almost 2 dozen FTOWs and maybe 10% of them are fully capable of doing the job

Here’s a tablet, go write orders and run stores, training you don’t need that you have been packing out Right?, you should know what to order/do GOOD LUCK!

I have some amazing merchandisers on my team like 75% of the full-timers are great but being merchandisers who could could write an occasional order, but that dose not translate to running stores and keeping up with everything

We tried this 20-25 years ago it didn’t work, they think it will work this time due to some system that generates dead stock not orders

I’d rather you had taken my car away then be given 33 stores to manage, with people you essentially told to do my old job

"Order Writer" is a condescending, embarrassing job title.

Calling someone an order Writer is basically telling them you are a basic peon, and we have no care or concern for you.

Could this company make it any more clear how they feel about the employees in this company, below the corporate level?

Calling someone an order Writer denotes how low in the company this person is, and is thought of. A bottom feeder position, like a co-k ro--h.

At least back in the day there was some respect calling the position a territory manager. But now, an order Writer?🤮

I know the 1st comment will be “don’t worry the car or you are next” I would say great I’m looking fwd to it until then there are 3 FTOWs on my “ territory” who need jobs and outside of mine or there control are put in this cr-p situation, I don’t work for the company anymore really I work for/with my co-workers still as we all need a paycheck I guess

We all believe this “mission 1” will only last 1-2 years like every new “thing”

If I’m lucky I get the boot next time to retire or collect 6mo severance + unemployment
