All stores going down to 1 GM and 1 SM. Team commissions to begin on April 1. More layoffs announced. Did I miss anything?

Whoever posted the team commissions coming in April is absolutely correct (confirmed from credible sources). Plus all the DMs, GMs & SMs are playing DUMB abt it. They’re doing it so people don’t start complaining, having conversation with them or HR... — read more

Anyone hear of any store hours changing?
