Thread regarding Follett layoffs

Everyone is stretched thin...

I know CM3s are beyond stretched thin with the workload that requires working at least 30 hours a day. As a CSL, should I tell school staff that CM is not my department? If they want an email to complain, give them Emmanuel's email. Even if text information is loaded into CT, soda is probably not working to process the sales. Less than a year into this experiment, and we all know how it is going.

I once aspired to be a CM3. I no longer have that desire.

My friends, I am so sorry. I understand how overworked and unappreciated you are.

It will be better if you leave. Believe me. It's hard and scary to let go. But once you do and can look back, you'll be much happier.

CM3 here. I don't remember the last time I worked less than 10 - 14 hours a day. It's been months at least. I know I feel like I'm failing my stores but I'm trying my hardest. It's not their fault this setup is unmanageable. There just isn't enough time in the day for what we need to do to support our stores properly, and now they're going to give us MORE to absorb the work load of who got let go today. I spend so much time all day in all of my different inboxes replying to complaint emails trying to fix things that got missed or went wrong and doing general damage conrtrol, I have to stay logged in all night just to do my tasks. We're all so very tired. Maybe they're doing this so we wont have the time or energy to job hunt and leave.

I am glad I was converted to hourly employee. They over work the salary staff. Want me to work...open your pocketbooks.

CM3 here- there was a part of me that wishes I hadn’t been in the “you’re not getting laid off” call. I don’t know how many more stores they’re giving me, my workload is already unmanageable. I was planning to give myself a break before restarting my job hunt to decompress from rush but I think I’ve finally broken.
