Comment on A third of Stitch Fix employees quit after new CEO ends flexible work hoursparent

Comments

According to the article the minimum working hours isn't 20 hours a week, they are forcing their employees to block off 20 hours during core working times to be available in case Stitch Fix wants them. If Stitch Fix guaranteed those 20 hours were paid I'd be more understanding.

While the new policy requires that stylists be available at least 20 hours per week, company guidelines reviewed by BuzzFeed News said they can be scheduled for as little as zero hours as “availability does not guarantee a certain number of working hours each week."

That sounds like being engaged to wait. I don't know this company but that seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

so it's basically unpaid on call

Yeah, that is retail level bullshit.
