Rumor has it that all STLs must report to their regional office and then be the opening leadership in the store the next morning for some big announcement. Any STLs know anything about this? Or have any sort of inclination of what it could be about?

it's pretty much self evident that it's an announcement about another plan demic...we cleaned up during the last one or it's something innocuous that everyone swall0ws hook line and sinker like there are now 228 stores in development so all is well and the hammer drops
Seen on interview today that all Store Leaders must have their Amazon laptop onboarded by 9/11. Probably telling them they fall under the Amazon banner and no longer WFM just a guess.
@41m guess I was hoping for the best.
What makes you think it is something else? Have you heard something?
@3yr it's not just anti union stuff. This is a whole other thing
@3xa could just be anti-union stuff
Reddit says TLs have a meeting that same day?
@3mj they’ve done it before Amazon came in to show they were cutting back while having to reverse course. But they’ll do it again.
Well, what’s coming Can’t be good. The team member survey is usually held during the month of team member appreciation. Anyone noticed that they’re making you fill it out earlier? This is so they don’t get so hammered with what they’re about to roll out. More than likely they’re moving to multi team stores. This will get rid of assistant store team leaders, and a lot of team leaders and assistant team leaders. The multi team stores only have one team leader and two assistant team leaders for three or more departments. The only reason I’m saying this is probably gonna happen is every new store that they’ve opened is ran like this.
Keep drinking the kool aid and think that this company gives a sh-t about you it doesnt
And it’s been irrelevant for the last decade
@2y4 EXACTLY
@2b0 apparently you weren't around in 2015 when this site was where we all found out about that round of layoffs
@2x4 September 10
When is this supposed meeting taking place?
Neither does WFM it was always just a way for them to je-k themselves off and pretend to care. If you respond that means you think your opinion means something which it doesn’t.
@2b0 they said its the last year for that bullsh-t because Amazon is taken over and they dont give a rats a-s about what the employees think
This site if just full of people’s predictions I have as of yet to see any come to fruition. Make sure to voice your frustrations on the culture compass so they can be ignored like they have been forever.
Give me a break about “Too many” details. Tls going salary, buyer being cut, sss being cut, STLs covering multiple stores are all rumors in here that have yet to come true.
probably just announcing the sale of Amahole to Walmart cuz AMZ is to busy laying off engineers and AI is where the money is at anyway and the game of the millennia has already begun...yippie
@1ys get out of here with that your probably going to be the first one cut
@1z4 you must be some kind of special there are too many details for someone to just be pullin this outta their a-s
jst wait until it comes down yall are gonna be sorry that you didnt listen there is information here that hasnt been talked about and no one is sure what even is happening but amazon taken over means that people will be forced out that things will change and that yall gona be in the unemployment line because this company doesnt care about you
wrong
Someone find me a prediction market prop for this " September 10th" BS so I can bet against it and make a fortune--- That’s the only real severance here.
This site blows anyway nobody ever posts anything that ever comes true anyway.
@1ts there aint no deal this whole sight is bullsh-t
@1dd I will take that severance deal
All legit #realnews
@1sr who's talking out their a-s?
@1rz this whole site is nothing but someone talking out their ar-e
@1pd seems incredibly extreme this fast. You talking out your a-s?
@1pc Did you even fu--ing read it? It has the same exact information as the first article, verbatim, but has a date of 2015. The first article didn't have a date.
BYEBYE SSS! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YHIS
ASTLs will also be let go. With combination teams, the need for leadership is minimal. It's going to take the form of like a Trader Joe's, but with Amazon oversight. Everyone does everything so they are able to schedule at a minimum. Amazon will continue to push out those tenured team members who are at cap, so they're able to employe cheaper for the same output. Your Honeywell device is mandatory for all shifts, everyone will have one - it will log "time off task" ex. When you go to the bathroom, so if you are "off task" for more than 5 minutes, that is grounds for a write up, and possible termination. You will no longer have a TMS person - it's Amazon now. HR is there to protect the company. Good luck trying to get unemployment when you get fired, because you will. Amazon has the best legal team and denied everyone's unemployment claim, legitimate or not.
@1p5 wrong article, you absolute bucket.
@1p5 it's happening this year - SSS, OW, ATLs, stockers, cashiers, all gone because teams will be combining into "perishable/non perishable" the severance will be one week for every six months worked, capping out at 20 weeks pay, COBRA will kick in and people will be insured for six months after the layoffs, PTO will be paid out, as well as HSA funds. Sept 10th is when the meeting for STLs will take place and all of this will come down officially. Until then, work and bank your PTO. Amazon is cleaning house. SFAs are also on the chopping block. UKGPro is about to turn stores upside down and make it impossible for anyone to request a day off or have a decent schedule. If you are only available in the day hours, expect to get about 15 hours a week, if you don't have open availability, you will be pushed out. If you have open availability expect turn around shifts, and shifts for things that you are not trained to do if you want full time hours. Amazon is here and it will be run like a fulfillment center, be prepared to be tracked on your 10min break - bathroom time counts as "time off task" which you will be written up for. 15% of store staff will be heading to the furloughs. It's a skeleton crew from here on out, and if you cannot get the work done, you will be written up and let go for "job performance" so you're unable to collect unemployment.
@1ne This announcement is from 2015.

Prepare for layoffs right before the holidays.
