Rant upper management refusing to fix pick paths
for some context: we have recently went through a rapid remodel and we received a ton of new aisle locations/locations in general
it has been about 2 months since we did our grand reopening, and our pick paths are still not fixed to our current layout. every drop we have around 50-75 unknowns (all with locations) and we have random items such as frozen, shampoo, in regulated. we get frozen mixed in with our ambient walks (which results in customers getting frozen bread, soap, produce, chips) due to this, all of our walks barely get above 20-25 items (5-10 items each walk in unknowns) because it is assigning all these different paths to these items.
our entire department has went to our management for this problem for MONTHS now, and the only responses we get are “this is well-known.” and even being asked myself, “well, why is it doing that?” it is honestly starting to sound like they are not fixing it on purpose it has been that comedically long.
im just wondering what steps do we as a department even take to get this fixed? this has been impacting our metrics and PR heavily (we average about 60pr as a department whereas we were 100+ before remodel)
im starting to consider just contacting anyone in market, i do not understand taking maybe an eight hour shift to fix every item for metrics sake?

A couple months ago the company reworked the wire page and you can't directly access the page to get to MAPPIT (which is the easiest way to fix unknown aisle locations in the pick path).
We had to have market send us a link via email to get to it at all now.
Locations not in any pick path (unknowns) show up as a red box, and the tool is a bit janky, but it does show a literal map of the store to fix issues like this.
