Yes but only until there are no customers in the store.

Don't you mean until there are customers in the store??

Absolutely not. It is against the rules and we would definitely be reprimanded immediately if we were found to be wearing them. I get it because it could get in the way of focusing on your job.

1 earbud only and has to be hooked up to our digital walkie talkie app

I do. But I keep it low enough so if I'm at the register, I can still hear the customer.

Yes, I'm in my office for the majority of my day so I can have my earbuds in. I have the volume on low though just in case one of my team members knocks on the door or needs me on the floor

Yeah

Yes

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

Thinking of switching employers.

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow.

Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
