I honestly don’t understand why they resorted to cutting hours for the experienced long-time employees. I’m a 10 year employee and my hours were cut. It’s not like I make a lot more than my newer colleagues, and shouldn’t it be in the company’s interest that an experienced good performer works to the maximum of his abilities. It’s not like me working my full hours is costing them anything more than to fill my hours with someone else.

They cut my hours, one week I had 40 hours and for the same week they changed it to 32 hours. They had some shifts available for the same week, so I picked up a shift. Hopefully everything will work out. If not I will be off for the weekend.
It's possibly because, comparable wages to new hires or not, they're looking to oust all f.t. employees. F.t. are the only ones to get health/dental etc.; if your hrs are cut back far enough consistently enough, you lose your benefits. That's a HUGE savings for this rotten-to-the-core 'comapny'.
My prediction: In 2-5 years, WM employment will be nothing but a fat temp service staffed by temp service agencies. This may include management. They've tried this before, years ago, in the St. Louis area, with results unimpressive enough to not 26push forward with it. But that was 20 + years ago....so who knows about now?
You should have just let us have our unemployment insurance home office
I've seen them do this at different stores. For example, the overnight team is being phased out by home office, and they are hiring tons of people for cap 2, but not letting overnight workers transfer on purpose. It appears they don't want to pay out unemployment so they are reducing hours trying to get people to quit. Just work 2 jobs my friend AND MAKE EVEN MORE THEN YOU DID BEFORE muhahahaha. Reverse the situation and change it to your advantage. If they start giving you only 2-3 days a week get a second job working 40 hours a week, because they are trying to avoid unemployment insurance. Then you end up with 64 hours a week muhahhaa.
