What people seem to always fail to understand is that hours will ALWAYS be low. Companies do not pay for what they do not need. If they absolutely need only 4 people on the floor, there will be 4 people on the floor. At $7.25 an hour or at $15. Business do not have people on the clock that they do not need. If you cannot afford labor at $15 an hour, hate to break it to you, but your business has already failed.
I never understood this logic. Why work more for less just for the extra hours? There is so much you can do with extra hours throughout a day, including making more money. Why sell yourself for less, while also sacrificing your time?
it's like a ghost town at 10am at my location as far as employees go. and freight is all over the place in the back, with another truck due in 19 hours
Exactly, as a matter of fact they just asked me if I could extend my availability today. It's already 7am -10pm, but that just ain't good enough for Target!
because if people drive a decent ways to a from a job, it seems useless to do it for a 4 hour shift when you could do a 7 or 8 hour shift.
Using your example, the Target equivalent is saying "We only need 500 associates but we'll hire 1000 so we'll always have 500 trained folks no matter how bad the turnover gets, and we'll spread the 500 people's hours across all 1000 people. Not a biggie if that means the 500 trained folks get only 8 hours a week."
Don’t forget about the bonus checks after 12,400 hrs starting at 5K per year, the amazing medical, dental and vision insurance, the personal/sick pay (72 hrs a year for full time), all the paid holidays that we are closed for and the vacation.
