BOS single handedly destroyed my store and management turned the place into a complete hostile mess. Anyone else?
I honestly don’t even know where to start with how bad the BOS rollout has been at my store. We’ve lost countless long term associates, people who had been here for 10 to 20 years and basically ran the place. Ever since the shift happened, management completely gutted the workforce and the entire culture flipped overnight. All our experienced long term department managers were pressured into stepping down, and management handed all the lead positions to new foreign coworkers who barely know how to do the job and have zero experience running these departments.
The double standards are getting completely out of hand. P.A. pages are routinely being made in foreign languages over the store speakers instead of English, and store celebrations, catered food, and holiday decorations only represent one specific group now. The breakroom appreciation board literally only features pictures of a select group of associates without a single other employee on it.
When assigning roles under BOS, management told most associates they couldn't pick their spots, but let their favored foreign group choose whatever preferred positions they wanted first, leaving all the brutal physical labor and heavy lifting for everyone else. Meanwhile, management is constantly pulling select group of associates into closed door meetings all day just to yell at them.
The worst part is our Store Manager and ASMs are actively letting this favoritism and hostility destroy the floor. Morale is completely dead, the store is physically falling apart, and all the institutional knowledge walked out the door. Has anyone else’s store completely fallen apart like this after BOS, or is my management team just uniquely toxic?
