It used to be that you were rewarded for working more and taking shifts that needed to be covered. On one hand you might start to fill the vacancy left by the last person who just quit (average turnover used to be 3 months) so they are saving $ on payroll, but on the other hand if you work more than 16 hours/week for too long they might have a situation where you need to be reassessed and possibly fired if you are too productive or just not liked by a manager for some weird reason that involves a massive identity issue centered around inferiority. in fact, the corporate invention of the 16 hour work week that doesnt give you a chance to get a foothold on anything keeps you either looking for work elsewhere or gobbling up shifts that are open, and can cause problems which raises management eyebrows in different directions. The only other issues at this place are wrapped up in the American Corporate advantage over At-Will employees and their legal teams that spend their time inventing situations to further strip the American worker down to just below the accepted minimum to be eligible for any possible common amenity - but thats not any fault of the immediate staff. thats why.īut thats the only little glitch in this B&N B&M (hmmm. why is that important? Lots of angry customers and wasted time when people think they can use Starbucks gift cards to pay for B&N goods and services. Unless something has changed, it is NOT a Starbucks inside a B&N, but a B&N Cafe serving Starbucks products. I was employed here for a little while so I have a little insight as to how things operate on the book/music/DVD floor and the B&N Cafe.
