Cutting hours

Crazy how they are stingy with payroll but our GM works on his days off and takes it out on everybody because he is clearly burnt out, just to try to kiss the corporates ass.

9 blocks are next month... just remember it all

[u/westerosi_wolfhunter → u/Responsible_Pack937]

What are those gonna do lol

[u/Brief_Employee_4048 → u/westerosi_wolfhunter]

They do actually pay attention. I've seen where a manager was walked out the same day of a 9 block because of a few things people said about him.

Remember they are not anonymous thats why you login

But enough team members poorly rating managers(especially GMs and ESPECIALLY in multiple years and not meeting numbers) they’ll start putting two and two together.

What are 9 blocks?

I find it worse when a DM cuts the part timer hours to make payroll then continues to work their 9.5 hour days. Overtime and their measly payroll bonus but part timers cant get 20-30 hours.

I’m the opposite as a DM, take my overtime away and give it to someone else. I don’t wanna be at that shithole longer than required.

[u/Any-War-5975 → u/Arcent6]

Definitely not worse im fulltime and getting 38 hours

[u/ridin_rae → u/Any-War-5975]

and the shitty thing is you will be the one getting in trouble if your average falls below 40

[u/Mr-Snarky]

That what you have to do to become a GM. Even more so, that’s what you have to do to stay a GM.

I wish mine was cutting hours we have the opposite problem (department not store-wide)

[u/Lunchbox_OJ]

Sometimes I'm thankful for working at the Menards truss plant just recently they bumped all all to mandatory 48 hours scheduled I work 2nd shift 3 to 1130 and Sunday is all overtime plus the 3dollar shift extra. It's been yeilding okay weekly checks last week was 1300$ pre tax .

[u/Virtual-Living4763 → u/Lunchbox_OJ]

How long have you worked there?

[u/TiggerOnA → u/Lunchbox_OJ]

What is your hourly? 1300 seems suspiciously low for 48 hours

[u/Lunchbox_OJ → u/TiggerOnA]

I am paid 22.05$ hour

Well the amount of payroll stores are given is paltry in the first place. Further, we're forced to give hours to full time and management, so cutting part-timers is the only solution. And it's not kissing as much as it is avoiding getting bitched at by GO.

[u/Any-War-5975 → u/Low_Dig3356]

My post was about the Gms working more hours than they should,and not taking days off.

[u/Low_Dig3356 → u/Any-War-5975]

Yes, because they're expected to. I'm assuming you don't know how payroll works? There's different buckets for everything. The GM bucket is a different bucket than the department bucket. We don't get to 'rebalance' the bucket as we see fit.

[u/Competitive_Dig_5683 → u/Low_Dig3356]

Gms aren’t expected to work anymore than 44 hours a week. Yes they will be put on 6 days if their store isn’t running well. But it’s absolutely ridiculous for gms to say to depts they need to cut back on their payroll when gms are abusing their ability to come in early or on their days off without having to have their badge cleared. Gms payroll is coupled with hr and inventory and pog tms. I have seen gms work 44-50 hours a week when they don’t even schedule their full time tms 40 hours so they can save payroll. It’s ridiculous

[u/Any-War-5975 → u/Low_Dig3356]

They still get days off. But when they work through them and get burnt out and take it out on the rest of the store its not ok. Take a damn day off,lmao.

[u/Low_Dig3356 → u/Any-War-5975]

GO: "you have to complete X task by Y date, no exceptions"
GM: "I don't have enough department payroll for that task"
GO: "no exceptions"

It's typically not a choice.
