Morale seems to be tanking at BBW - anyone else feel this?

Okay, I need to vent a little. The general vibe at my Bath & Body Works location has been pretty down lately. It's not just the hours getting cut (which is already a bummer), but there's a general sense of unease. People are talking more about the stock performance and the constant pressure to hit sales goals when we're already stretched thin. We're seeing a lot of the usual suspects – inventory issues, understaffing, and management seeming a bit out of touch with what's actually happening on the floor. It feels like we're being asked to do more with less, and the recognition for it isn't really there. Has anyone else felt this shift in morale? Is it just my store, or is this a bigger trend across the company? Trying to figure out if it's worth sticking around.

Yeah, I've heard similar things from friends who work there. It sounds like a lot of the pressure is really getting to everyone. When hours are cut and sales targets stay high, it's just a recipe for burnout. Plus, the stock performance adds a layer of anxiety that shouldn't be part of the job. Hopefully, things improve for the employees soon.

Totally feel this. The constant push for sales, especially when foot traffic isn't always there, has to be draining. It's tough when you're trying your best but external factors and management decisions make it feel impossible. Resource issues like understaffing just make everything harder. It's a rough situation for retail workers right now.
