re: This employee shortage isn't letting up

The store used to have about 198 hours a week to allocate to a staff of about seven people, she said. But by the end of last month, she had only about 130 hours to allocate, which equated to one full-time employee and one part-time employee fewer than when she started. With not as many hours to give to her staff, Ms. Gundel often had to operate the store on her own for long stretches, typically working six days and up to 60 hours a week with no overtime pay.
This is what it’s like being a manager. It’s a shitty job but her other option was what? Do everything half arse and stay the cashier.
News flash, these stores need to turn a profit. Labor costs cut into that. I guess that other option is to just not have these stores in rural areas and then there would be no stores. And she wouldn’t have her 50k a year job.

Ms. Gundel’s protest was prompted by a TikTok video posted by a customer complaining about the disheveled state of a Dollar General store. Ms. Gundel had heard these complaints from her own customers. Why are boxes blocking the aisles? Why aren’t the shelves fully stocked?
That’s like her fricking job.

Newsflash, these stores will not only be turning a profit but out of business if they have no workers.
So many corporations just exist to goose the stock price with "rising" quarterly earnings and they don't care enough about their workers nor do they care about what the company will be like in 5 years because they hope to have retired by then so they let everything turn to poop. Not gonna be there problem. Eff it.

Lulz. Dollar General is a relative cancer in rural America. They broker massive tax breaks from municipalities and aim to drive small grocers out of business. They’re not struggling to turn a profit, they’re a whore for Wall Street and trying to enhance their margins.
