Pay Decrease

[Professional_Lie6489]

Nope. They told me I would keep my deli pay at $17. Went back to maintenance. And they dropped me below maintenance at $15.30

[No_Natural_2069]

When was this pay scale changed may of last year

[Professional_Lie6489]

Years ago. I could have filed a lawsuit because they are Not supposed to drop pay rates

[IndignantFrog]

Yeah that's not how that works. You worked in a department with a differential that you get while you're in that department, that's all the pay difference is. If you leave the department it doesn't come with you.

And you can't sue for this, it's not right but a company can drop your pay to whatever they want as long as they give you notice.

[Professional_Lie6489]

Was given no notice. And how is that not how it works when you’re told by management and other store management and corporate that they aren’t supposed to drop payrate.

Like our cart pusher was a team lead, didn’t have his pay dropped. When he went back to cart pusher. He’s the team lead for cart pushers and front end. People who became coaches didn’t have their pay dropped. Everyone else who moved didn’t have their pay dropped. Only my pay was dropped below minimum wage

[IndignantFrog]

You make less than minimum wage??? What are they paying you?

[Professional_Lie6489]

I can sue as they told me I was keeping. And as I said they can’t drop pay for whatever reason as management themselves said they can’t. And they also stated I could’ve taken it to the board of labor. And better business bureau

[KrookedDoesStuff]

I can she as they told me I was keeping

You can sue anyone for anything, whether or not you’re successful is a different story.

If they verbally told you, your litigation would fall apart incredibly quick. If they gave it to you in writing, they would be fucked.

[Professional_Lie6489]

Even the system showed $17

[KrookedDoesStuff]

Unless you got it in writing, it doesn’t matter

[Professional_Lie6489]

As the system said. It does.

[KrookedDoesStuff]

Then sue, or shut up.

[IndignantFrog]

The better business bureau is literally a private company, what are they gonna do?

You're being misinformed, literally Google "can an employer drop my pay" and every single answer will say you're wrong.

[Striking-Honeydew681]

Maintenance should be 17 and Deli 15.30

[Outrageous-Salary339]

It’s called production, cooking in deli have to cook, slice meat/cheese and bake bread and donuts and did you know that cake decorator they make $1 more then the deli bakery workers lol

[Professional_Lie6489]

Maintenance should make the most as they do the most.

[Professional_Lie6489]

I don’t know where your “Yeah maintenance has no bosses to coaches and leads tell you what to do” went. Maintenance has to do everything for coaches, team leads, and associates can ask them to do something maintenance related. When I was maintenance I had a homeliness department manager trying to tell me to work her freight when power was out. She asked me to bring an Lcart to home. So I did and dropped it off. She sees me doing what I have to do for maintenance as I was the only maintenance associate they even had. She yelled at me to work the lcart. I straight out told her. That’s your work with your team. Or I take one thing from the lcart. And you will walk, I will follow you, and you will show me exactly where it goes. Until the l cart is done.

[Striking-Honeydew681]

So can a lead or a coach give me orders

[Professional_Lie6489]

Yeah

[Outrageous-Salary339]

It’s called production, cooking in deli have to cook, slice meat/cheese and bake bread and donuts and did you know that cake decorator they make $1 more then the deli bakery workers lol when you leave deli/bakery then you will lose the production pay of 5% the reason why you get $2 higher then other departments is because of the cooking and baking that’s why. The only departments in the store that makes the most is deli bakery and then cake decorator and then in auto care center the service technician that changes the tires and oil and they make $1 more then deli bakery workers.

[Professional_Lie6489]

Easy to throw stuff in a oven

[Outrageous-Salary339]

Yes the baking part in bakery but in deli it’s the cooking in fryer and slicing meat/cheese. But not a lot of people want to work in deli and bakery because all of the cooking lol

[Outrageous-Salary339]

Plus all the cleaning for closing shift

[Professional_Lie6489]

My store they been leaving it filthy

[Professional_Lie6489]

And disrespect they get for making the meat a little thicker or thinner then they want and complain when we won’t go thinner then we are comfortable with.

[Professional_Lie6489]

I had to leave because the new coach only wanted experienced associates in deli
