It appears they are revaluating the fresh team lead block scheduling. Too many produce and prepared leads are not accepting the schedule offered. If more do the same it might actually get changed.

I’m stepping down from produce lead. The company is making me pick between being a mom and having a job. My manager wants me to stay in produce so I can still do the lead job without the pay. No thanks not today.
Both our produce and prepared leads arr syepping down
They aren’t going to cave this fast. They spent a lot of money(not really) to find a way to trim payroll. Someone at home office is committed to this idea and will go down in a ball of flames when it fails. But they will get rid of some long term full timers first before reverting back on any of it.
They never brought back the audit team. Just shifted the responsibility in a lesser capacity to team leads. Now they are just condensing the night crew, sales floor, and club pick up all into a smaller amount of people.
No one wants produce at my club as it is too much work ! The lead will be the only person in the department and always closing.
Either way you need 2 fresh leads on opening shift and 2 on closing shift. Maybe they will reevaluate, or maybe they will say that those 2 positions of the 4 would be easiest to replace. Meat lead has to have skills cutting and Bakery lead at this time still knows how to prep and bake. While the produce lead may be very good at what they do, a semi experienced associate from another department can put out more grapes and pull anything with mold they see. Meat cutter calls off, nothing gets cut until they are replaced. Try telling the 7am business member that needs his meat cut that they will have to wait until around 9 when someone else comes in, and see where that gets you....
As far as Deli lead, again no offense they know their business and department, but their skill is not more than meat or bakery. Being able to decorate a cake, not just barely being able to write Happy Birthday on a stock decorated cake also makes Bakery lead a more important lead. And let me say that to all the people who may say their meat lead is not a good cutter or their Bakery lead does not know how to bake or decorate MANY CAKES, then Inwould say they have no business being a lead and should be required to learn or step down. The meat and bakery lead need to be skilled at their departments job no ifs and or buts!
Do you actually think they will cave this easily, and this soon? Afterall this whole thing is about flexing. If they will think it was a mistake, it will take them at the very least a year, if at all to admit it. They are using the sh!t sandwich theory. If you don't know what that is, please ask. I would be glad to explain it.
Our prepared food lead is stepping down. She did she isn't closing 5 days a week. Good for her.
ours said she was going to step down because of it..
We all need to step down total bull sh--.
I did not accept the prepared position and told them I am stepping down.
What job, produce lead is pretty much a floor lead and prepared lead just fills in for call offs. Like I said there is 10 people waiting for you to quit.
Whose they? Ur manager? Lol
@cgw you haven't clue 😂
Just because someone can fill the spot doesn't mean they can do the job.
There are 10 people waiting to take your spot...
