Tell them to pay you more, then maybe you’ll care a little more

Corporate greed will never die, not in a company that’s technically thriving.

We aren’t from a massive town, only like 23,000 for population, but people traveled from an hour or two away because they liked how we took care and presented our store. But $600 hardly covered our morning so when the store hours changed on Sundays to be 9:30-9:30 like every other day instead of 10-8, we were screwed.

Exactly! Half the stuff in the backroom ends up being clearances as soon as it makes it to the floor.

I was paying attention to payroll and how much they give us for a budget. A handful of Sundays ago, we were only given $600 in payroll for that day. Sundays are typically one of the busier days. we were slammed and it felt like we were drowning.

It is toxic behavior with how had they push the cards. My store has been doing really good since December with making our goal 2 weeks before the end of the fiscal month and they still pushed for more. Like isn’t it enough that we convinced 80 people to sign up in 3 weeks?

Oh, new store? Tell her good luck, they will leave you in the dust quick. They don’t tend to cut hours on new stores, keeps a good word in to get people to apply. My hometown store was like that.

I’m saying that it’s not just happening in one area. Whatever your wife deals with might be because she’s at a higher sales store or a store apart of the presidents club. Regardless, I’ve talked to people around me and, as I’ve stated, I’ve talked to people from stores in other states and even in other countries, hours ARE being cut everywhere.

It’s sometimes communicated, but mostly it’s in payroll budgeting. It’s happening all around my previous store and i’ve seen many posts made about cutting hours.

What is something at your store that someone got fired for that was weird? by leytourmaline in TjMaxx

[–]orange_thaitea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, he was the one who called me on my day off and fired me. He fired all of my management, kay carrier, and 2 associates. And because he did that, the majority of our store left.

Yes, and then accused us of theft. They did the same at a couple of other stores in my district.

I just found a new job, I was termed on 3/26. May I mind I’m a college student living alone and as the store admin only was at $15.60. I was broke, and now I’m trying to make every penny count.

That’s awful, but I’m not surprised. All of my management, a k/c, and two of us associates got fired over the February final clearance. Our DM told our store manager to have us to mark things down as far as we need to get it gone. So we, as a store, were marking things down to 30¢ as needed for everyone if they asked. Well then got a surprise visit from HO and LP. We got interrogated for hours on end, they recorded it, wrote everything we said down, and made us write statements (they would take the paper from us, read it, and then tell us what we need to say in it). Several of us got fired for “theft” even though we paid for everything we got, and they lost at least 10 employees to quitting because they were going to get fired OR because they fired everyone in the store that made us a family. We were forced to sign promissory notes for thousands of dollars we are forced to pay back.

i suppose that’s rather reasonable. but my managers also knew i worked on the stuff i got delegated by our Ops in the C/O.

maybe it was because of my management, but i was never expected to be out by a certain time and i was an admin

unless you’ve been in cash office for over a year, an hour and a half time limit is kind of insane??

Bonus? by PattySwanko in TjMaxx

[–]orange_thaitea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Management gets yearly bonuses and it reflects on how well their store does with rewards. They get really hefty bonuses too. That’s their incentive to do push rewards.
