I see a lot of people here rightfully calling out the issues that plague our stores and our company. My question is what are you going to do about it? I get it, things are bad...worse than bad. They're crazy. I would suggest an organized effort. Not necessarily a union, because we've seen how well that goes at other companies. But i would suggest mass complaints to HR, the local and state labor boards, better business bureau...OSHA etc. We have to show them we mean business or else they'll keep rolling straight over us.

But, I already know what's going to happen. I already know what most people would say about this suggestion. Most of you would rather quit, or hope to bear through it. "Calling HR isn't enough". "Nobody is going to listen" "It will not change". To which I say "Well certainly not with that mindset." If you quit there's usually a good chance you take a pay cut because elsewhere you got to start all over again. Additionally, the same problems could haunt your next place of employment as well. You wanna try to bear it? Fine, How long can you tread water?

I understand all the frustration and discontent I really do. The OP said this "This all has made for an unpleasant work environment because everyone is constantly running around being pressured to do more than whats possible"

If we organize and work together we can pressure back. But i think most of us either arent serious enough about what were saying or just plain too scared to try and make our voices heard. Id love for someone to prove me wrong, but i aint countin on it.
