Ok guys, here's the situation. The names have been changed to prevent a lawsuit. A GA LDO was recruited by a very large big box to improve image at a location and to train the staff. The LDO was hired about 4.5 yrs ago. During this time the LDO apprenticed three individuals, two of which transferred into the department 3 yrs ago. These individuals had absolutely no experience in the field. During the apprenticeship the LDO helped them pass the ABO, NCLE, and the state practical. In fact, the second indivdiual passed in April (the third, the manager, hasn't passed yet). During this training period the LDO was assured that the postion he/she had at his/her store would be secure and that he/she was appreciated for all that was done for the company. Well, guess what?!!!! The LDO is being forced to move to another location because payroll cannot afford to pay 3 LDOs and since the company has a last in first out policy (and this is based on company seniority not job title seniority), its got to be the training LDO. The new location is about an extra 35 minutes away. WTF?? So, any comments? Opinions? Suggestions?
