They did give the lump sum bonus for those maxed out without a raise last year. At least that was something, I guess. Although merits get a raise and a bonus every year, even when on CA

All I know is our building hasn’t received any increases over the past 3 years.

Heard something new on this, wondering if it’s correct. No LWW roles will be posted until entire building is at the right headcount. So does that mean one key could potentially run down 3, while another continues to be over? Or will they possibly force LWW to change keys to fill vacancies...

Wait…..aren’t they moving problem solve position to icqa and adding more headcount there? Our building just posted to add to this team 1 per key in addition to the 6 icqa and 2 problem solver they already had each key. How many does op building have per key if they are over this new headcount?

Who is doing your actual job then? Why would one merit need to cover for another instead of using a backup? Then they put a different backup into your role? or your job isn’t covered for that day? If moving you means someone else does your job, that makes absolutely no sense. But if moving...

They could drop to one in every department the way they use backups. Same with ICQA. Our DC, least on my shift, has just as many backups in role as scheduled LWW and ICQA On the daily. Why pay a level 2 or 3 when you can get away with .50 higher than WW rate. Some of our backups actually...

Well, they have to find ways to continue to justify all the LWW and ICQA in each building. That’s why things are so different, some buildings got out of control with merit and backup merit headcounts, and now they are having to find extra work to keep them busy. or give off the appearance of...

You can’t compare merit level jobs with hourly progression, pay scales are drastically different. The trade off is merit is much less physically demanding as a whole. Hourly progression Increases are built into the scale, where merit increases are annual based on performance. One benefit to...

So why would they stop you from being able to resign then? I’d think they would be more than happy to see you go rather than start playing the loa game - can we count on them to be here when we need them, or not? The people in our building constantly using int loa and in extending loa create...

As long as your leave was approved, your HR should have removed any acct time. If you4 leave was not approved, that’s on you, and it stands.

Not sure exactly how you don’t own this. Had your permit been up to date, you could have gone to the original orientation they offered you. Your documents were not in order, how is that anyone else’s fault? If you weren’t hired by Black Friday, they probably won’t need you now. By the time...

Job change is not a popularity contest, it runs on where the needs are, and fills are through seniority. Period. Your was approved, good for you. Sounds like by your own admission, she makes mistakes fairly often, which earned her a ca. there could be other things at play, attitude and...

Mandatory overtime at the DCs are treated as a shift, regardless. Maybe stores are more lenient with work/life balance, but at the DC if you’re scheduled on a Sunday out side your usual Tuesday-Friday, you either work, call in and take the hit, or get written up for a no show.

hmmm interesting. our DC constantly has 1-2 backups every day, at least on B1 even when all IVQA are there. i think they are using backup merit as a way to give hours, when IB and OB and MBP are vleing.

Does anyone know if it is required to post for back up positions? Or can anyone just randomly be selected by the OM? I thought I would know the answer, but it seems that lately new random people are training to backup clericals, icqa, and problem solvers without any posting. When I asked, OM...
