@1xs we shall see
Older folks can try to ride it out. But if you are younger person you need to look externally for opportunities. Going from 4.5 to 3.5 % is a ~23% cut on 401k match, plus any lost compound interest. Also factor in medical premium increases for next year. Your financial position is now worse, it doesn't make financial sense to continue here (which is obviously what they want so they have to pay less severance). Yea the job market is tight and not everyone can find another job, but financially, you owe it to yourself to look around as you are doing same work for less $. I am not even going to get into bonus and raises because we all know that will be close to 0.
@116 probably falls under trying to avoid layoffs
Does cutting the 401k match via an unsigned email fall under compassion or integrity?
It seems that there have been ongoing discussions about staffing levels, but I would like to highlight that many of us receive emails offering overtime opportunities before shifts, after shifts, and even during lunch breaks. As an hourly employee, I'm aware that working during lunch may not align with labor laws. Could we clarify which department is overseeing this policy? Thank you!
@fh ok what management we need to know
Under what manager?
@fh and where did you hear this from?
@b3 all I heard was that it is all of consumer services under a certain manager.
Over staffed really? We get emails all the time offering us to.work overtime before shift, after shift and during lunch. During lunch as a hourly employee I know is not ok per the labor laws. Please say what department
"trust me bro"
What division?
I would say understaffed is more like it.
