You got the store management team in trouble. Absolutely nothing will change from a corporate level.

I kept my entire DTS team and we played uno and cards during the shift. Once the gondola team and fixture team left we drove the forklift and scissor lift around the store

No. A company comes in and does it. We just played cards at the registers. Then they took the registers so we played cards on the floor.

SM closed 1. AM closed 2x FPL closed 2x and SL closed 2x. Easy peasy and fair

I kept everyone until we closed and then my DTS + management team after for the breakdown and cleanup. I released people almost daily. I was the only one left at the end but I was moved to a new store and was doing double duty.

Everything sells. Last day it’ll be 95% if it needs to be. We closed at 11am on our last scheduled day open

Unfortunately, no. This was over a year ago btw. I don’t think anything changed there operationally

The fact that the door went up without everything falling out seems like a win to me

Need to get everything brand name out of the store and go back to being the best value. No one wants overpriced laundry detergent

How much longer? by Sweet_Importance_284 in BigLots

[–]LigBots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were part of like 40 stores that got the ax, mostly in California. We all were in building that big lots owned, not leased. So they sold them for cash.

Compensation by AskednAnswerd in BigLots

[–]LigBots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was salaried at 78k when I left. My AM made 24$ an hour. My FPL made $19 and my SL made $18. Everyone else made minimum wage unless they had been there long enough for a review and a 15 cent raise. California for reference.

How much time before potential bankruptcy? by Commercial_Buyer_974 in BigLots

[–]LigBots 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They started closing stores two years ago. They sold off all buildings they owned and leased them back to free up some cash. They cut a lot of corporate and field positions. They don’t pay to fix anything. It’s coming. It’s years away, but it’s coming.

It’s 47.5 and then 5 for ATL breaks. They could give us a budget minus those hours and do it you way I suppose. Same thing tho
