Motorola Symbols

How many clubs can’t keep a symbol in the computer because they all get hidden in lockers or people take them without signing them out? Lack of accountability for technology other than TCs. With clubs having inventory and needing them to do... — read more

Expected to do more with less

We knew this was going to happen when they decided to cut so many people in March. We knew it was too many and we knew there'd come a time when we wouldn't be able to do half the things that needed to be done with them gone. Well, we are there now... — read more

Inexperience shows

So much experience is gone from BJ's, employees have tasks that are difficult to perform because they don’t have the knowledge and let’s get real - there’s no one capable to show them or to even learn from. No one takes pride in the work they do... — read more 

Why am I hearing about more cuts?

Is this coming from unsubstantiated rumors by (rightfully) nervous employees or is there more behind it? I don't understand how they could even consider more cuts considering how understaffed we are now, following the last round. I don't think it... — read more 

What changes have you seen

At my store: no front end supervisors, usually one person running self checkout who now has to also help cashiers. When I work a full front door shift, I’m told there is no one to cover my breaks. I don’t understand really, because I was “trained”... — read more

I don't mind that I was laid off
