Thread regarding Nordstrom layoffs

Reinventing the wheel again and again.

A monochromic one size fits all solution to processing the truck... again!
Racks and full line stores are different animals. The trucks were being processed quickly and efficiently until a new solution to a problem that doesn’t exist was conceived by upper management... who never have done the job.
You slowed things down!!!
Stop reinventing the wheel!!!
Let the individual stores figure out for themselves what works and doesn’t.
I don’t need to be told where to stand.
Upper management....Stay out of the
process!!!

@csa Right. imagine some RS get trucks monday - friday at least 8 pallets. Sometimes get more whence backlog at DC.
Let alone the rack has to do price check !! Upper management does not listen yet learn.

Upper management (Seattle) Is taking the position that what works in a Rack will work in a full line store.
Hey stupid...
A full line store can have 700-1000 carton truck... many days in a row.
A rack gets 400, and they decided 3 people can process a a full line stores delivery just like a Rack.
Hey stupid...
We are overwhelmed by your one size fits all mentally, and putting people in positions of management who never did the job or understand the time it takes to do the job.
Hey stupid.
A full line store and a Rack are very different especially in the amount of merchandise they receive. Duh!
This is a problem “See no Evil’” “Hear no Evil” “Speak no Evil”

If this bo-b squad shows up at your store don’t allow them entry.

The Seattle bigwigs are at 380 to celebrate their new truck processing plan...they decided this plan is a success before implementation.
380 Management hid the pallets so no body Knows everything has been slowed down to a crawl.
Seattle is clueless.
This new way to do the truck is ridiculously slower.

They used the “Your the only store who processes the truck this way.”
They need new material.
I’m in Seattle.
I call shenanigans!

We’re a victim of an end run.

The truck is scanned into inventory as the pallets are sorted off the truck.
That means everything is live in inventory at that moment.
Oops...that means pickers are looking for inventory piled on the dock unable to be processed because they cut labor to zero.
The sale merchandise is flowing in!
S.O.S.
Someone save us!

380
They said we were the only store who is doing the truck wrong.
What????
The new standard????
Or.... 380 is always the guinea pig , they always come into this place and turn it upside down.
Every one has had enough!
