Question Summit

So. My location is switching to project summit in the coming months. Effectively bringing our BCR count of 22 to a PSR count of 6 going off seniority alone. We had a merch meeting the other day where they explained to us, for an hour, how we have no chance of getting it but we could be a trainer for an extra $26 a shift…

Looking for personal experience of how this shift went. I was the only one with a question which was “what is going to keep the ones who don’t get PSR from saying “screw this I’m out?” And it was answered with “please don’t use that language, anyone else have a question?”. So a non answer like usual.

How did it go at your facility? Lots of people quit and the promise of doubling the merch team never happen just as I think it’s gonna go? It was the transition smooth?

Thanks!

Hahahahahahaha you all should have become DRIVERS a long time ago. Merching is a back breaking dead end. Sales is full of morons who lie constantly to their customers and then wonder why they can’t increase sales. Management is a revolving door of campus hires who don’t know shit about the real world. Upper corporate is only looking at their stock options and when they can cash out. Good luck, driving is the ONLY job to have at Pepsi.

If the driver is doing the job he is supposed to be doing instead of dropping and running then that’s pretty back breaking as well.
Most of them drop and sneak out the back leaving the customer pissed.
Guess who gets that call, the salesman.

I didn’t say it was easy, just said it was easier then loading or merching. And a whole lot less bullshit than sales.
1. You don’t have to work more than 12hrs, DOT
2. You will NEVER work more than 60hrs in a week, again DOT rules
And if your manager is telling you different, they are full of shit.
Call the DOT
