The next time you are at a store meeting bring a copy of your stores recent P&L. At the bottom of your P&L will be the store profitability. Before the meeting ask your scheduler what the store % to payroll is. This is a number of what % of your sales as a store you can use for payroll. Armed with that information ask in your store meeting why do the associates that cover on average 3000 square feet of warehouse only get a 1-3% increase? You will be mortified by the answers. Let me translate for you: You are the "them" and the 1000 people that run the company are the “us”. This group in the US category are living LARGE!!! They are out of the office by 3PM. If they work 30 hours a week that is a long week. They are waited on hand and foot and care less about anything other than having their nasty rears kissed. In the “us” against “them” contest you loose. If you were in a union you would have a fighting chance at some degree of fairness. Get informed or get walked all over.
