We are entering uncharted territory. We are literally paying more attention to numbers in Kronos than the customer. This is an all out attempt to show how great the new regime is when earnings come out for Q1. They say to focus on the customer but give literally no support to make this happen.
The amount of freight coming to our store is literally creating a huge accident waiting to happen. They are dumping on us with complete disregard for how much actual free space is in our locations. It's all about to culminate into something I can't quite describe. Get ready to be worked to the bone over the next several months.
The morale in the store is abysmal and when you dig really deep you realize corporate could not care less. They are grinding employees to the verge of quitting in hopes that they do and can rehire at a less hourly rate. War of attrition. The poor ASM's being asked to work 60 hours a week and barely see the outside of the store. It's one of the most unhealthy work environments I've ever seen. We are about to lose some real top tier management at my location and its going to be devastating when it happens. Even worse the less capable ASM's will stay because they can't do better.
As for me? I'm out ASAP. What's happening is pure negligence.
Think that @YLGC96T-1qbw couldn't have said it any better. Great post.
