Cutting Corners, Cutting Costs, and Cutting Hours
Just in the past week, all of us who work at a store in Mississippi were told that as of now, only day and peak time shifts were going to be cutting hours. That was no surprise they have been doing that for a couple of years now. The we were told that if the over night shift keeps getting over time…even 1 minute, they are going to cut ours. I am sure they had planned to do that any way, but here is my question…we are heading into the heaviest time of year for Wal-Mart, example, back to school just a few weeks away, then inventory right after that and then it is Christmas. The managers want all this work done with less people and less time….i don’t see that happening. If we are not there to stock the shelves then there will be nothing for the customers to buy and then sales will really fall more than they have been. I am very thankful that i do have a job, but what they are doing is not right for any of us.
