When does everyone think the next round is going to hit at store level?

Looked for this today myself. Not that it matters but the SS is shift strategy. Or strategic shift or something like that.
A euphemism.
It is the all in one staffing guide under one of the apps on SHC connect.
"SS" stands for sales support.
We are struggling to get anything done at all with the people we still have now. Freight is piling up in the back, the new backroom associates have no idea what they're doing so very little is being checked in correctly, our claims area is filling up faster than the new claims associate can get any of it out, we're lucky if we have enough checkout operators (this despite our diminishing traffic) that don't just call out and leave some poor floor associate stuck on checkouts all night, the people who try to bring the freight to the floor are frequently putting it in the wrong places or just leaving opened cases (often of food) literally right on the floor after they leave for the day. Everything is falling apart and they want to shrink it some more.
There is a store staffing guide under one of the apps. It says how many employees your dept has right now, how many it should have right now & how many it will have in April & May.
April & May have fewer in every dept. Says SS next to the months with the fewer employees. I assume Simple Store is what's meant. I only know about Simple Store from reading here because nothing is ever said at my Sears store. About anything important. It's a secret.
I agree about the Market Leader. That kind of position is for companies that are well stocked with employees.
They need to axe (Fire) the Market Leader in Pittsburgh and across the country - this level of management was Never needed...too much money for little work
April or May. It's in the projections.
