Thread regarding Advance Auto Parts Inc. layoffs

Hey! These spreadsheets look even better when you flip them upside! I think I will do my bedroom wallpaper using period 4 printouts.

CAMs and DMs are brain washed into believing whats said in these conference calls. Bull $hit Gurus.

Don’t give excel and analytics a bad name just because these idiots don’t know how to use them lol

Can't wait till the numbers on the spreadsheets don't add up anymore! Of course, 2+2 equals 5 to over half of these fools.

And that my friend is the issue ! Our customer , our employees, our teammates are all numbers! As long as these spreadsheet Gurus run our company thinking only of all these people as a number the company will never succeed in the business. The thing about commercial customers is that they can quickly choose to no longer be one of AAP ‘s number on a spread sheet!

Napa is far better at making those customers feel like they are much more than a number.

Everything is a number with this company, one of the reasons customer service has been so bad, not enough people on shift to service customers, and not enough knowledgeable people either as they cost more to retain. Numbers, only Numbers

Morons.... face time with the customer is what sells parts. AAP does not appear to even understand the industry they are in. Now go sell some soda and candy.

Pretty sure my DM invented the spreadsheet. "Live or die by the spreadsheet" is his motto.

Well said. Cams are spending the bulk of their time with busy work. In addition, most of the Salesforce reporting is fabricated.
