Yep, we're volume 3, busiest store in our district, we used to have hours, now we've got the same hours as a nearby volume 1, who for the week did 7 thousand dollars? we did 5 thousand our last Friday.

I am getting real tired of scheduling people like...4 hour shifts. Especially for me, I live an hour away.

this is one of the reasons why they're having SMs run multiple stores. multi-store SMs can distribute hours between their stores. my SM tends to save somewhere between 8 and 18 hours from her low-volume store and throws them into the schedule for our store.

Agreed. I was so excited when I heard bonuses were coming back. Today on my shift I read through the memo and saw the line about only SMs and above being eligible. Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed.

Don't get too excited. If I was told correctly, it's only if BBV as a whole reaches a certain goal.

And SMS...don't get me started. How many stores have 3 managers besides to SM anyway? What usually ends up happening, the SM works more than they should and they lose pay for all the hours worked, or you need covering managers from other stores who MAY hit OT and god forbid that happens...

Are you serious? As if we do no work?! If it was management only I can see it being a cost effective way to do that, but if it means they laugh in my face for a raise? And my SM gets a bonus?! My SM is a good guy, and he does deserve something for all his hard work, but so do all of us!

I guess I should feel lucky then.

I'm getting 4 and a half hours next week.
