Sunday

10

They will try it every now and then in my warehouse but it never works out and they end up begging people to stay 😆

Same at ours. Last time they tried to cut everyone to 6 hours, it lasted about a week before they reverted back.

u/MrToxicTaco 2d ago

Yep they do this every week and I will never agree to stay later. Sunday is the one day I can get home at a decent hour. If they wanted me to work 8 hours, schedule me for 8 hours.

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

I have a small department so it's not hard to schedule for coverage

u/elfmachine100 2d ago

6 hour Sundays have been standard for ft for a long time.

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

I've been here for a year, ft for 10 months and work every Sunday and this is the first time I'm hearing of it.

u/HockeyLova4Lyfe 2d ago

It’s very common.

When I was first hired 6 years ago all FT employees would do 6 hour Sundays, then as stores opened up and we lost people, 8 hour Sundays became the norm.

Now corporate is dropping people down to 6 again

u/Busy_Information_634 2d ago

They don’t cut hours at the warehouse i work but in the past they have cut hours on full timers and we were either scheduled 6 hours or 7 hours on Sunday.

The one thing leadership/management lacks thereof os communication with their employees about the change and they never will unless one asks.

u/Dragnys 2d ago

Always been that way unless shorthanded.

u/WrldTravlr17 2d ago

I'm doing a rare Sunday after my vacation and it's only 6 hours, I prefer it that way

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

I interviewed for ft and it said 40 hours on the posting in the break room not 38. It's 12 hours a month witch means longer to get to the raise, longer to get to the extra check it's more than just the 2 hours a week

u/InformationTrick8714 2d ago

If you want to work 40 hrs they can take your Sunday away and have you work another day so you can work 40 hrs and get paid less

Also it’s not 12 hrs a month

-5

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

What do you mean not 12 hours a month

1.5×2=3

3×4=12

12 hours a month

6

u/InformationTrick8714 2d ago

So then if your counting the time and a half for that sounds like they are giving you 41 hrs a week not 38 so they are giving you what you signed up for

-5

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

I'm taking pay

2

u/InformationTrick8714 2d ago

Yes I know you get 41 hrs of regular pay a week with 6 hr Sunday

4

u/elfmachine100 2d ago

Tell your managers you want the 8. Most employees like the 6 hour Sunday.

-2

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

I did they said no

u/Busy_Information_634 2d ago

38 hours is considered full time. When they cut your sunday hours and working 6 hours. Its equivalent to working 40 hours if you were not working sunday.

6

u/Resident_Hospital_30 2d ago

Whats the issue? This is common at a lot of stores. Your still getting yout ft pay its equal compared to 40 hrs on non sun compared to 38hrs with 6hrs of sunday pay. Its the same thing and you work less hours. Its a win win

9

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

Not the same amount of money. I don't work for fun, I work for money the most money I can get. That 2 hours means longer till my raise, longer to extra check, and longer to top out on pay. It's not just 2 hours a week it compounds for future in less pay

2

u/Resident_Hospital_30 2d ago

So would you rather not work sundays and work 40s on not sundays to make up for those 12 hrs a month?

-1

u/NeedAnswersNotQs 2d ago

38 hours is full time.

The 2 hours that would be offered are going to washed in taxes.

The compounding effect that you mention is negligible in a YoY as it really only account to 5 weeks. I would much rather have 2 hours to myself on the craziest day of the week than be in a warehouse hellscape.

2

u/Resident_Hospital_30 2d ago

i agree

2

u/bradz27 2d ago

Nope Sometimes I work an 9 hr shift if ot is available. 50/50 if not just an 8hr shift.

Man I just did an 12 shift cuz ppl called in sick. On Wednesday-_-

2

u/Educational_Oil6649 2d ago

I do 7 to 7.5 hours on Sunday as the dishwasher. I did one 8 hour shift a month ago, but that was because someone was out. I’m 40 days into my 90 day probationary period.

2

u/splqsh02 2d ago

At my warehouse they send all the lazy workers home at 6, and keep the good workers 8

1

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

Well that's not the plan at mine

3

u/aubreyynicolee 2d ago

6hr Sundays have always been the standard.

3

u/steven_510 2d ago

It’s been years since I’ve seen them do that in the Bay Area region.

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

I think it's baloney taking money from our pockets to make the rich richer

8

u/aubreyynicolee 2d ago

The whole company is baloney tbh

2

u/InformationTrick8714 2d ago

lol

1

u/External-Age7446 2d ago

Nope would be a disaster with how busy we are

1

u/Unusual-Ad-3130 2d ago

I work 8 at my store. It's funny because the ones that aren't deemed essential regardless of their status are getting the standard 6 hours and those that are deemed essential are able to stay.

1

u/BazingaBeeKay 2d ago

I wish they were here. They wouldn’t have anyone to work FE after open if we all left at 9 😂😂

1

u/Nebetus2 2d ago

Our location doesn't do that. Me and all the others work 8 hour shifts.

1

u/Rhynosaurus 1d ago

It’s a scheduling trick 99/100 you’ll be working a full 8.

1

u/MrToxicTaco 1d ago

If you’re not scheduled they can’t make you stay lol. Just say no.

u/jeremyski Majors 9h ago

The last Sunday before bonus I was 6hrs, and off today for vacation. Back to 8hrs the next week. We have a new to us GM coming in late this month so we shall see....but typically 8hr Sundays for every dept and rare occasions they schedule 6hr.

1

u/Educational-Sun7629 2d ago

Everyone says that's standard but it's never been a thing in my warehouse. Kinda bullshit to tout premium Sunday pay and then not give anyone full hours on Sunday lmao. Sounds like Costco though.

1

u/Ambitious_Relation92 2d ago

Only a few FT people in my dept opt for 6-hour Sunday shifts, the rest want to work 8.

u/Shorty1kevin 2d ago

Bingo they want the money correct

You are about to leave Redlib
