meeting

Wednesday our district had a meeting. Actually, two meetings...one for the store managers, and one right after for the EXA's.

At the meeting, we were told that effective September 15th, our pay would be converted to hourly.
Now this should be good news, right? I should be happy. But I'm not.

Pros:
-With the hours I normally work, this would be a HUGE raise
-Holiday pay
-No change in status, management tree remains the same

Cons:
-With the change, they won't want to pay OT so I won't be working so many hours and therefore no HUGE raise.
-Back in the holiday rotation
-No more 2 weekends/month off...granted those were few and far between anyway, but now I'm married to a 5.5 day/week schedule.
-We lose our yearly bonus...well, not exactly. It gets spread out over the full year. Sounds good, right? That's the base bonus. If you're in a store that does well, you get a percentage of the profits as well. That part's gone too.

So what's the deal? Who knows. Maybe a couple of weeks from now I'll feel better about it, but not just yet. We'll see what happens.
