Archived New record

[insiteful1]

Our payroll allocation for the schedule we are currently writing, broke our store record for LOWEST sales floor hours......EVER. 8 for softlines. 11 for hardlines. Sales floor is allocated 68, BUT those are all for Sr. TL LOD shifts. Love it. HA!

For the week?

 

[walruses]

lol what?

 

[CartStryke]

In other words, the CA will probably be covering half the sales floor?

8 and 11 HOURS for the whole week?? Thats not even enough to schedule a day...

 

[itsthefiveofus]

Wow. I don't even know what to say its that horrible. What if you were to have a call off on one of those shifts. Lets face it it does happen! Just yesterday we only had 3 people to close salesfloor with and one guy called off. Fun times.

 

[commiecorvus]

I'm sorry.
That's just wrong.

 

[Ask Alexandria]

Ouch. Our SrTL LOD shifts use inventory hours.

Hellooooooooooooo...........
Anyone out there......?

 

[talan123]

I had a guest get so frustrated at something that he put his hands on my throat and then tried to joke it off. I was the only person on the sales floor and our LOD was upset that I didn't call anybody over the walkie while he had his hands on my throat.

It's been weird.

 

[insiteful1]

Yes, for the week. Ridiculous isn't it? Makes the schedule easy to write :mda:

 

[GlobalTL123]

Do only 5 people work in your store?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

The roller coaster continues! Then they ask why guest scores are so low..
We got busted in electronics, because Tm's were talking to each other & not the guest! I got a hold of newbie & said to them, stay away the boat & ask every guest, cihyfs, no matter what! He's done it & help sales on slow nights!
Gtc to him! His tl has no clue on what he does for the team. But I do!

 

[itsthefiveofus]

Why are there barely any hours? I feel like we have been freaking booming these past few months! This is usually the "slow" period of the year but its been non stop! I just don't get it!

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Over projection of sales by your Stl compare to last year sales.

haha. trust me, in a store like that, there is no CA except for maybe a couple days a year.

 

[insiteful1]

We have a CA on week nights from 6-10:30 and weekends from 12-10:30.

Then your store is allocating payroll very strangely indeed my friend.

 

[Logistics Monkey]

our STL had to go get carts the other day, she went out in her fancy high heels because no one was scheduled :wacko:

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Red pumps, no doubt!

 

[Barcode]

oh ULV so glad i dont know you lol

 

[MisterLogistics]

We were $500,000+ over sales for March, then had a "huge visit" last week, and used way too many hours to make the store look "perfect". So, now they have to cut 200 hours over this week and next.

What a crappy way to treat the TMs that helped get those sales...shit like this is what makes people start talking about unions.

 

[walruses]

yeah uh for some perspective .. we get about 300 hours a week for softlines. :|

 

[redeye58]

You know hours are bad when you copy your schedule on a "Year at a Glance" calendar.

 

[insiteful1]

...shit like this is what makes people start talking about unions.

LOL. Everyone in my store knows better than that. Can't price freedom!
