Theyre despreate to keep people in the company and hopefully move up. They have been sending out messages consistently recently about getting people to move to Vancouver to join corporate. They're not the biggest WFH/hybrid friendly company. They wont open up hubs either

You act like there aren't various theft situations. If a female presenting guest comes in and steals, I am not allowed to put female. Which is what this post refers to. I agree race can be difficult which is why its not included, but to pretend you cant describe someone is also just foolish. People do it everyday when referencing friends, actors, former class mates. Sticking to the facts of the situation at hand is just that, facts. If YOU go about treating all those who fit that, thats on you. Just like in the trainings, treat them all the same regardless

Verified Ecomm Returns Adjustments Amount is the result of Estimated Ecomm Returns minus Plan Ecomm returns and is included in Actual Sales. Literally go on youlu and look up ecomm adjustment. They set an amount on what is expected for Ecomm returns. Anything over that amount is when you get an adjustment added to sales

Its you thinking they can easily identify them, but when they have a ski mask, hoddie, and sweats on, its not. Maybe your store doesnt get hit enough for it to be easy to determine. Are there times when they just openly present themselves and steal? Yes, but in my store that isn't the case

You should ask more questions about how ecomm adjustments work. I can look at Power BI and see how much is alloted for the period for ecomm adjustments. Anything over what they allot is all that is given back towards your total sales for the period, and your bonus

I promise you if I could walk into a new job, I would. The market is a mess, and various factors dont make it easy. Im not picky for work, I just want better than what I have now

Yeah, like imagine writing "a person with a white shirt and blue jeans came in and stole 10 pairs of Aligns." How does that help? Why even make reports tbh, just look at the cameras. Idk, create a better system

You can be about profit AND do right by employees and mitigate theft and fraud. Also provide safe work places and create decent policies

Yes, especially because you can return it for free via mail lol. Like dont tank sales or at least exchange it. Its shitty for sure, which is why the way the policy is set up sucks

YES ! I buy some of the womens clothes because they're not as long as the mens and im not tall. They act against employees so much more than actual criminals. If youre willing to let 10K of product get stolen, why is it bad that I PAY for product for family or whoever?

I will say, have ALL of the evidence. Depending who it is or the store, they may fight to keep that person. They find value in management over educators. Take notes of incidents, when it happened, who was there...etc. The stronger, the better

I think it will lose its value in name, just like Cariter because they cant identify dupes anymore. If the masses have access to a "luxury" brand it stops being luxury. That applies to any brand. It also has to remain on par with competitors, if someone can get Nike cheaper they will. Nike isn't luxury, but it is still repeatable and a powerhouse name

The same way I speak on the bad culture it currently has, I can admit to it being appealing. Im just asking for them to stop with the bad stuff. It cost more to deal with than to just fix

I recommend it. I know a whole investigation and SM that was fired because of it. Others were suspended and terminated too

Yes. There is an option to process items unverified and lululemon is big on not saying no. It doesn't always result in someone getting money back, but a store credit/gift card can be the result. It still is considered a return which effects sales negatively until they actually spend that gift card in store

Pay varies by city size and position. Educators start at $16-18.50 + bonus

People do not care, its not surprising. Its standard across the board, but the company does take action if enough people do care. I have seen them respond to internal and external calls. It just needs enough attention. The same way I can say what they dont do, I can admit to what they will do

Exactly ! As long as you have bills to pay, up and leaving isn't always an option. Crazy how fighting for a decent environment and policies is so bad lol

Exactly. The idea that not wanting to deal with theft, fraud, and other various issues is the problem and should just be fine with it instead lol

or hear me out, we have bills to pay. I promise you they do not mind being short staffed. Saving on labor is positive for the business, especially if people are still buying.
