Grand Prairie
Why send all these boneheads over here. Get rid of all our lame managers, leads. They don't do anything anyway. Half of them said they would be leaving in November anyway.
Good Luck
I left months ago after 20 years. I come here to see if anything has changed. Nothing has. Nothing will. Run while you can folks. There is better out there. To those still there, I wish you all luck.
You have to laugh.
A new coach was hired at our store, she's worked a week or so. Yesterday she went to lunch and never came back.
Hygiene

Ridiculous and absurd things
Among other things, what bothers me the most here are some ridiculous "rules" that do not contribute to anything other than demoralizing the employees. Not only do they make people lose all motivation to work, but in the end they have a destructive... — read more

Masks
Masks no longer required in production areas finally
Paid to wonder
We have a meat guy who clocks in and then wanders around the club looking at various items. Wanders for about half an hour. Later on you will see him making yet another lap.
What team leads make. What salaried managers make?
Can someone share numbers?
Find a policy for me please

Arkansas
I hope the meeting in Arkansas teaches mananagers how to treat associates with respect and stop being so lazy.
Remember when
Remember when they used to do something as simple as send flowers when you had surgery or had a baby or death in your family. They have seriously gone that far from caring about their associates. Oh the better times
Backroom
Does anyone else believe that when they lowered the pay structure for Backroom and increased for the forklift merchandisers, it was to have the forklift drivers run all the freight and unload trucks? It just doesn’t make sense. I’m currently the only... — read more

They will pull you thin to the point of burnout
I'm too tired but I'm trying to somehow endure all this until I find something better. They gradually added more and more work for me to do, but I hoped that my overly demanding manager would know when it was enough. However, he did not. Sometimes... — read more
