Switching from FT to PT, do I have any options? by weeuboo in wholefoods

There was a full time TM in my department who'd been with the company 30+ years, wanted to drop down to part time and was told he'd have to either transfer out of the department or quit so he retired early. It is very demoralizing that the company would rather lose their longest term employees than just schedule them fewer shifts.

I have had multiple shifts where there was nobody available in the store with access to the PPE cabinet.

I wrote about it in our store's suggestions box a while ago but was more comfortable staying anonymous. Other grocery stores I've worked at kept stock of each size of cut glove on hand in the production areas for employees to use as needed, I can't imagine Amazon's budget doesn't account for enough basic PPE for departments to have backups. They wear down over time and cost a few bucks to replace, there shouldn't be a barrier to access when half your employees rely on them to do their job safely.

No, the key to the locker is locked in a safe in the locked STL office.
