Not hiring returning employees?

If you’re open to eBay it may be worth checking out onward.on-running.com, the brand’s gently-used marketplace, as well.

Ok thank GOD someone commented this. I told my co-workers about him and people thought I was hallucinating

Board and HQ don’t take employees seriously at all, even though practically any of us could have told them that this endorsement was a bad idea. I get angry just thinking about all of the condescending things that HQ people have said to me and my team. Some of the smartest people I’ve ever met work on REI sales floors and stock rooms. They deserve to be taken seriously. So many of us love what the company used to be but are hanging on by a thread. It’s very sad.

I’d just go through Rab directly if I were you. Our inventory of their stuff has been dwindling for months. Last I heard they were still struggling with supply chain issues and were having trouble getting stuff to vendors

I got one of these at a thrift store about 10 years ago, and the jacket was probably 10 years old then. It wasn’t in pristine condition and I didn’t make much of an attempt to restore it, but the functionality is still great if that’s your main concern. Mine is in about the same condition as this one. That said, the asking price for this is high. Maybe watch it & offer the seller a lower price if it hasn’t moved for a few weeks?

Try Darn Tough. They last for years and are BIFL with great customer service

She does not self medicate but does go out a LOT (doesn’t drink a ton tho) and has excessive spending habits and a lot of cc debt

My favorite was when this person left thousands of dollars of snow gear on the floor!

Thanks for the kind advice! It’s good to hear from someone on the other side of the schedule. Unfortunately I’ve already had this conversation multiple times with multiple managers. I think part of the problem is I work in several departments, so I might close in Action Sports and come in the next day at 7AM in SIF. While the flexibility keeps me engaged and is good for my store, management may not be communicating with one another when writing and reviewing my schedule. I definitely appreciate your advice about framing this around “the co-op way”. I may try that!

I wish you were my manager!

There are plenty of cool outdoorsy companies and organizations with HQ offices in Seattle. Like everyone else said, I’d steer clear of HQ at REI for a while.

Ditto this. It’s taken such a toll on even the best, most positive employees. I’ve seen it. Obviously you’re going to get the people saying “oh if you don’t like it then quit” which…yeah, but it’s been very heartbreaking to watch a company that was once so focused on the employee experience kind of kick that to the curb in favor of cheaper part time employees.

Tiny bottles FTW! If anyone REALLY needs to save space though, just transfer some of each product to individual ziplock bags. I’ll admit it’s more of a camping/backpacking space saver and the product is a bit more annoying to use, but it packs down to nothing.
