hi!! my partners and i have a group chat where we communicate! sometimes openers will ask the closers questions or the whole group to see if someone has an answer as to why something wasn’t done/is missing. it’s very useful, but we also send funny videos and pictures that were taken at work :)

at the sbux my bf works at they had to delete their group chat on 2 separate occasions bc the store manager didn’t like that they had one. they kept remaking it tho lol

i think corporate kinda banned group chats bc it can be toxic, working off the clock, not everyone involved so some feel left out, misusage, etc across the board but as long as you don’t talk about it how could she know it exist hehe.

No leg to stand on, she just needs to stay off the chat. We have two different group chats and an email group, they are all fun and helpful, partners are caring, nothing but positive. We are lucky. Every once in awhile if SM wants to make sure everyone receives a communication, he will text it to the admin to share it. But he is not a member of any of our chats

not 100% sure but i think it may be an attempt at union busting. i know a lot of SMs are a bit worried about the potential for unions (and if yours is bad then that worry would increase). i cant say for certain but that’s my first guess because i don’t believe there’s any actual rules against it

Our store manager created one for us on slack, it's quite nice I'm not sure what their problem is

US partner my SSVs have a group chat
