Team Leads No Longer Set Schedule

Just got off conference call and they are changing the way block works for team leads. You will no longer be locked in to AM or PM. You can be scheduled on either throughout the course of the week to cover days off and vacations across the shifts.

This is a terrible update for everyone involved regardless of where you were previously assigned.

Shows that the company has gotten strong reactions to the change and have no idea how to deal with it.

Applies for both Sales Floor and Fresh.

@Z5WMJsu-1bnd its not a set schedule. All four fresh leads will rotate, and managers will have autonomy to plug leads into unfilled shifts due to vacations I think

Wow. They managed to make things worse somehow. I can’t work such drastically different shifts. What happened to set schedule????

Merchandising leads are not on set schedule. They will be flipping from one to the other over the course of the week.

I was on the call with my club manager.

FLOOR LEADS .....It's still a block schedule for leads ! If you were an AM before you still are ! Same for PM! YOU WILL NOT BE SWITCHING FROM AM TO PM !!! The only thing changing is you SET days off. You will now get A Saturday and Sunday off each month. Fresh is the ONLY area SWITCHING back and forth AM /PM

Although I knew it was not going to work in the long run this is effing ridiculous. School is out in 3 weeks for my children she I have already had to not only have my husband change his availability at his place of employment but also had to hire a daycare provider to accommodate my schedule. Now its all changing? Before it even started? Are you kidding me. I've been with this company 17 yeara and never have I ever seen such a mess.

If this happens in fresh, do you think it will be within the departments, or between the leads because of some misguided reason they may think the leads are interchangeable?

Did any other clubs hear this? I didn’t hear anything around it today. Sounds so fake. Completely opposite of what they just rolled out.

They don’t have to give you 8 hrs rest between shifts. I’m sure that something you signed when accepting a job that you glossed over waives them of this.

Our manager said he would be making the schedules and would be sure that it didn’t happen where you close at 11:30 and open at 4 am. I think we know how that will end up going.

Regardless it is a horrible idea jumping around to such different shifts.

This is the most messed up part yet.

I thought there had to be 9 hours between shifts? How can you work until 1130 and then work at 4 am?

Prepare to be wrong when your GM pulls the rug out from under you. This is happening. Was your GM on a call at some point today? That’s what it was about.
