-My store isn't making the sales numbers that corporate likes.
-Corporate is lowering the hours available for part timers (like me).
-Manager has not had any complaints about my work or work ethic. Literally the only thing he has said I could improve on is getting people signed up for our mailer.
-My average of 20 hours/week has gone down to 10, last week I worked 4, I'm not even on the schedule for next week, but I haven't been fired.
-Corporate is making Manager hire more workers within the month.

(Yes, I'm looking for another job.)

I feel like I'm missing something. What is the benefit of not firing an employee you clearly don't want around? Are mailers really worth that much to "fire" me over? When we don't even have a quota in place for them? And how the fuck is he supposed to "see how much [I] can improve in the next few weeks" if I'm not working at all?

I know that this is part of the reality of working retail, but fuck if I can understand it.

It just sounds like corporate having their heads up their bums tbqh.

Good luck in your job hunt!!

Apparently, reducing someone's hours to zero until they quit is a common thing. It means they avoid having to give you any kind of severence (assuming they would give you that in the first place) and probably helps avoid lawsuits about being fired unfairly. I once had a job where a thingie I had to read before starting said that if my work was unsatisfactory, my hours would be reduced. Not that I'd be fired or required to get more training or denied a promotion - just that my hours would be reduced.

As for why you, specifically, are being squeezed out, who knows? Hiring and training new people sucks for store management, but corporate does not care because they don't have to deal with it directly. Maybe they consider workers so disposible that they prefer stores just keep hiring new people until they find folks who are magically already good at everything and don't need to improve. Maybe their policy is to keep turnover high so most of their employees are new and won't be asking for raises and promotions. Maybe they are trying to avoid having more workers than they absolutely need on the clock while things are in a slump. Maybe they think mixing up the workforce will improve things and they baically want to throw workers at the wall until some of them stick.

Good luck on your job hunt. Working for places like that sucks, I know. Keep your head up and find something more stable.
