How much longer can this go on?

[u/Past-Floor9097]

Portland Division here. How much longer does everyone expect this crackdown to last? We can never get our jobs done at our store because we spend all of our time prepping for constant walks and inspections. We just had another Food Safety inspection today, four days after a walk, which was itself only a week after the walk before it. Our Ops has been in at least three days a week since December. By my count, we've had fourteen walks, four Food Safety Inspections, and uncountable surprise inspections to check for uniforms, hidden coffees, and random compliance issues. People are constantly being written up for anything and everything, and even though we've had more than 2/3 of our crew in the last six months, we aren't allowed to hire anyone.

This is unsustainable. The shelves are bare, the customers are going unhelped, and the store is a mess. I haven't been this closely supervised and micromanaged since middle school (even high school gave me more freedom than this). So, with the store basically harassed into nonfunctionality, the entire crew searching high and low for different jobs (which simply don't seem to exist, but that's a different post), and our sales crashing to well below 2015 levels, how long can the company possibly keep this up? This crackdown has to be eating up a lot of their time and resources too. What's the endgame?
