The new system is ridiculous and shows whoever came up with it has no clue that stores are never fully staffed. If we only get one two day off (weekend) in 8 weeks and the rest of the time are subject to fluctuating schedules and may often have to work 6 days straight then people will quit, call out or collapse. Full time CSA's get to pick a time frame based on seniority but what part time or other full timers will want to get stuck with close every time? Part timers are only allowed to work max of 24 hours and no guarantee each week they will be scheduled. What part timer will want that unknown schedule? Specialists have to work between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. No selection based on seniority. How is that any good for specialists? There are usually only one people scheduled to work in departments and often that is all for a day so who is going to fill in? It is true slavery and shows upper management does not value people in general much less their employees. They are trying to drive employees out so they can further destroy Lowe's. It seems they are put here to destroy Lowe's and make Home Depot continue to pull ahead. Where is the leadership in this? Also, how can a computer model determine the high times for customers? If it is based on sales data then that is not true reflection of the need for employees because many customers come in to browse or ask questions. No one will be there to help them. Also why was the system down on Saturday which is the weekend and a big sales day? You are making the wrong type of changes here and destroying what was originally a c-appy job and now it is a true sh--hole place to work. Marvin and his cronies should try this and he would collapse the first day being on his feet and lifting appliances plus loading stuff into cars by himself since there is never any help. Get a clue man.
