anyone know if they will cut back on orders? we dont have the staff and all the new people they are hiring are already talking about quitting (at least we have been hiring a lot). With that being said, how the fk are some busy stores going to make it through the next 3 months? Legit want to know because my store is on its last legs

There is a soft underbelly. WFMs' sox compliance is non existent. There are like 20 people at a time with their hand in the cookie jar. Use a set up right out of Office Space paying off a data team member to create a duplicate fake instance of a vendor in IRMA and have them flip the export number to an non real bank account briefly right before accounts payables are transfered out and them flip it back and watch the money pile up. A reNCgion has been doing this unchecked for years. Houses, cars and European vacations every year...and a nice room with bars
Truer than the North star but I can't see anything from here in big fo0t country roughing it in a yurt so yeah no not so much. It does though remind me of the time that I believe it xas Churchill (or not) xho said it best: a stich in time saves nin9 something like that.. look it up and have it on my desk at zero six hundred manana
Nobody cares what happens at store level one item means nothing to the people up top, it's ONE item. You need to realize your complaints are insignificant they're nothing . The big problem is the issue you just dont see it you fool.
Every time I reported problems on M.o.s.s.t. Nothing happened even when we gave items away . Who the heck do we pay for no action and only the illusion of reporting problems?
It got worst and sss know it say nothing and do nothing.
I'm a foodie amateur too Is right.
All the regional people at at specific reNCgion survived the re-alignment but some were promoted and still in charge under the most unpopular reNCgional president . All store leadership and regionals are turning their backs on him. We know what they did and they are still around why? They will probably be moved to another region as protection since it seems to happen frequently the pbs’s in this region are in on it too. Pbs works for wfm and amazon to get rid of you and protect the company.If you see pbs as a friend you are drinking the cool aid d-mb d-mb.
I remember the good old days when the executives would divert cap-ex account money that was supposed to go to improving stores or the regional office and would purchase personal property with it like a custom food kitchen on a trailer ($100,000+) and truck to haul it ($20,000) that got a custom graphics paint job. The B2B plan was to motor this into the parking lot of Tesla and schlep baloney sandwiches to the tech workers. Plan fell apart only after a year when we realized the commissary at Tesla is 5 stars. On well! Think about it this way: we were able to pay 3 twenty year olds for a year to memorize the enternet while coming up w this failed
pLan. And the real takeaway is how we washed clean the kitchen and truck purchases that ended up in someone's backyard free of charge w a big fat right off too.Shameless corporate theft right under everyone's nose. I wond tell you which reNCgion...you can prolly already guess
the self checkout registers are a nightmare at my location....we have a lot of foreign tourists who dont even know english so how are they to locate the items in register??? and a cashier would have rang them up at twice the speed...lines back up really bad due to this fact....and if they are supposedly saving money on cashiers(which they are not because we still need two cashiers overseeing the self checkout) why didnt prices go down??? savings are never passed onto the customer??
A 24 hour ordering window is going to ki-l stores. Better have a great order/inventory system to keep track of things….haha! I really feel for the TMs that will have to deal with the BS. An operational nightmare….no f-ing clue or care.
For reals. At one of the lowest volume stores in the company and lines are still backed all the way to the dairy and people abandoning baskets. We probably even have more than 13 CS Tm's. ASTL's and STL ring for 4 hours a day. Super d-mb. Worst part is the store is 90% foot traffic with people buying one bag of groceries so they can walk and they won't consider self checkout. If we had self checkout the C.S. TM's could help out in other departments and probably enjoy their jobs more. Not to mention we are staffed well above staffing guidance but have a labor surplus of tens of thousand of dollars. Bring back gainsharing maybe retention would be a thing.
Lmao we're a diamond store with 13 cs team members. We cant handle the lines we have NOW. Cart abandonment is aplenty here with wait times usually 30 minutes or longer. Cant wait to see the shitshow november WILL be. I certainly wont be working harder or doing OT. THEN regional as the AUDACITY to send "lets stay safe with the increased customer volume :)" emails out. Fu-k you. I will prob end up walking out to never return.
Just laugh at the madness. Don't ki-l yourself so amazon can make extra money. Maybe when they see the worst holiday sales during a time of peak consumer spending they will realize they have to change their policy.
Sit back and watch it burn you owe them nothing. Don't stress over anything nobody at the top shows any concern why should any of us?
Northeast here. Those guys lay it thick on us on our holiday call last month. 24 catering window all the way to Thanksgiving Day, jaw-dropping expansion of platters and appetizers despite the regionwide lack of labor to execute, waste-of-time holiday Hot Bar menus for the weeks leading up and (post-Plainville recall) a simple one-sentence assurance that "we'll have turkeys, we promise!".
Meanwhile, last week's WBR listed nearly every store in the region in the red for severe levels of understaffing.
There's that blind arrogance and removed from reality stupidity that I've come to expect from regional.
omg i hope the last reply is wrong... this doesnt make any sense! full steam ahead with no crew and holes in the ship? what is the end game here? to get everyone to quit?
Judging by the call i was on the other day, the global/regional plan is- full steam ahead.
This will be an interesting holiday. Not even considering the growing warehouse, truck driver, shipping issues that are increasing daily.
