Linens 'n Things – “no quality of life for management”

Pros

25 percent disc on all purchases-management has some flexibility with time off during the week as they are required to work weekends. Tis works out great for making appointments

Cons

fluctuating schedule- number of payroll hours is constantly changing-very difficult to make employee schedule for week-corporate would tell you to reduce payroll for week even after employee schedule was posted. The average work week is 55-60 hrs-mgrs are required towork 3 of 4 weekends

Advice to Senior Management

Be aware of employee morale-burn out is killing your managers. Directives would come out requiring specific action and then the directive would be re issued and mgrs would have to redo the work. Their work week is long enough without having to go back and due something twice.
