Rank and Yank casualties

Anyone know someone that got hit this year?

I heard buyers all got their pay/bonuses cut this year.

Supposedly they were laying off buyers in areas they were getting rid of.

Mod directors hit.

ISD still consolidating.

Logistics restructuring

People group down to bare bones.

Pricing hit again.

Finance down to bare bones

Accounts payable outsourced

Keep hearing mod managers, BA, and replenishment managers are next.

Not sure how much more they can cut at home office. Essential functions already aren’t getting done.

Meanwhile dotcom folks have better benefits, pay, and alcohol in the office on Fridays. And if you ask them if they make money, they tell you it doesn’t matter because it’s the store’s jobs to pay for them.

We’ve been paying for it alright. While dotcom is afraid they might do a little work, the folks that make all the money for the company (store teams) have been cut cut cut. And if they aren’t cutting headcount, hours, and benefits, they’re cutting pay and bonus.

So please add to the list. Who got cut and how many? How much is dotcom really costing us? We should know.

Comment! It's anonymous!

Is it true that they have to cut 500 more people this year at home office?

Leadership will do whatever they want. At WMT, you have to fight for everything. Therefore, if your leadership abuse their power, you must be willing to fight back. Gather evidence and file an Ethics Complaint. When they retaliate, which they will, file an EEOC complaint. If you are unwilling to stand up for yourself, no one else will. It is that simple. Quit whining all the time, and be a man. Quit being a sniveling coward.

Well why on earth would a young person EVER want to drive a truck? If they have half a brain at all, they’d know that the industry is under threat of automation.

So what? You start driving as a young man and by the time you get old and nobody wants to hire you, your skillset is obsolete? I would never tell my kids to get into that industry.

Do you think they’re telling us everything about this transformation they’re trying to do? Hard to trust leadership these days when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder.

The areas not being formally cut are laying people off 1 by 1 as fast as they can. Where the bottom is who knows! Sooner or later all the cuts in the stores and all the cuts for support from the HO will cost sales. Then what Dougie?

On a related note: This whole dot Com paradigm shift alternately creates new job possibilities while exacerbating an existing problem: CDL drivers are in greater demand, while plugging up already congested high and by ways
