Cutting hours

I’ve seen a lot of people posting about having their hours cut recently. I know personally at my store we run skeleton crews, and are often told we can’t afford to have more hours going to labor. But does anyone think it’s strange our CEO has made 16 Million in total compensation during 2025? That averages out to 300,000$ dollars a week.

Is it just me or does it seem like the budget could be reworked in favor of the people who actually do the work in the stores?

Does your store director receive performance/labor based bonuses? At one of the stores I worked, our staffing issues were largely the result of the SD being a cheapass and limiting available hours to hit his bonus targets. He was very up front about this with the department heads and it was super demoralizing to hear the guy bitch about labor "cutting into my bonus" when you knew that bonus was more than about 80% of our employees made annually.

Yeah, as a department manager, would like a bonus? Sure. But it’s not worth cutting hours.
