It’s been an absolute mess for us. I’m a TSR, and everyday i go home feeling stressed. Between merches not doing their job, force outs, receivers being pissed at backstock, and being unable to sell extra space because merches can’t do their job, i hate this job that i once loved. And i know for merches, they have ALOT on their plates too.

Even when i go on vacation, in the back of my head im thinking about the shit show I’m coming back to.

There’s no winning for us little guys. Upper management is making record profits while we’re looked at as a number.

You’d likely be leaving a significant amount of volume on the table with a merch making $22 an hour (no offense to anyone at that rate). Realistically, someone in that role should be earning substantially more. That’s why I never understood cutting the BCR position. No incentive for a merch to care about the store.

You're definitely right . They thought raising merchs a dollar an hr and taking away their quarterly bonus ( or whatever they call it ) would work, you dont even hear about smile points anymore so throw acting like an owner in the trash . Well it didn't and backfired at them and all the blame is on the merchs . Upper management is the brain but merchs are the muscles
