today my store lost the asm that led our store during the entirety of back to school while we waited to get a new store manager i am so upset and disappointed does any know how many people have been laid off ??
who is all being laid off? Call center? Corporate?
The vans here in my city, the employers get laid
What’s asm?
Ton of people got laid off in my old district
I have a couple of friends who work in a few locations who said they lost at least 13 hardworking employees that they know of in their district alone. 2 stores in one of those districts lost 3 members of management each. Looks like every store lost someone.
I know one of the Assistant stockroom managers and she had been there for 8 years, and had been there longer than the Store manager. She said they let her go today.
corporations aren’t your friend
Sounds like a lot of teams had at least one or two managers. Found out yesterday our stock asm and stock supe would be getting calls today about it. We let them hit up the arcade bar on our mall on the clock because this entire situation is absolutely gross. Dunno what the company expects stores without their stock teams to do when we go into holiday this month.
Does it seem to be a lot of stock managers being laid off? I worked for vans for 8 years and on the stock team my last few years. I can’t imagine any store losing their stock team so close to holiday or at anytime. I loved working stock but just couldn’t work under the DM anymore. We would have 100+ cases stacked up in our stock room and little side room. Then receive another 100 the next day. DM comes in one day asking us why we have so many cases “no other store looks like this” my stock manager says do your other stores have off site? “Yes they do” he said then that’s your answer. They didn’t want to pay for our off site but also wouldn’t let us not receive shipment and complained when we didn’t clear everything. It was a mess at the end. Vans was great for a long time. At times I miss it and think of doing just seasonal but after hearing all this it makes me so sad. I’m sorry to everyone who was laid off
Pretty sure it’s how many hours you work. I was a floor sup and I was let go out of the three of us and the only difference between us is that I work the least. In fact the newest of the three has only been a floor sup for two months and I’ve been a floor sup since our store opened back in June. It’s a really strange way to pick someone to let go, especially without even asking the SMs about it. Looks like they’re really cutting some of the best employees and it’s breaking my heart.
I’m so sorry you got let go! But that sounds just about right when it comes to vans. Sometimes I feel like they truly don’t even think when making decisions. They seem to always pass up good employees for promotions and promote people who are maybe “loud” or use more “vans verbiage” 😂 I hope you got a decent severance or something to fall back on. Sending all the love and the good vibes to you.
the worst part about this is it’s twisted. by all reasons i should have been let go - i work the least and i am paid less. but they kept me, because it’s “cheaper” for them to do that. it depends on the store but it’s all these disgusting schemes that they specifically planned out. i basically got led into literally taking my co-managers position without knowing it until now.
yep. fuck this company.
Why is vans laying people off.
I was a floor sup that got laid off today. Woke up to a call from my DM at 9a on my off day to get told i wouldn’t have a job anymore effective immediately today. Vans is a people company until they aren’t.
We’ve been without an SM since May and have slowly lost ASMs and supervisors over the past few months. We used to have 7 people on the management team and now it’s down to 3
Thats sickening they’ve gone down the drain
Idk the amount of people but they apparently just “saved 12 million dollars” I’m an ASM with Vans and plan on turning my key in before Black Friday due to this stunt they just pulled.
here in NYC we don’t have enough employees willing to stay at vans for anyone to be laid off 💀
