Recap
I was recapping events since the first day I became employed by Tuesday Morning. Started out helping the wife get the stock out in her store. Seems she was not finding hard working individuals in her immediate store vicinity. I started working part- time but that soon became full time due to lack of staff. Seems that particular store is not in a good area to find labor. Also it didn't help that the work was so labor intensive that kids quit within a week, too sore and tired to continue.
And therein lies the problem. Labor. The stores are given unrealistic dollar budgets for labor that make it totally impossible to cover the store as required by the company directives. Gee, would you think this spiraling down of monthly payroll dollars wouldn't lower morale. Why do corporations insist on wasting money at the top and making up that waste from the bottom...oh, the federal government does that....doh!!!

Don't even get me started on American labor. The kids these days have become so lazy and spoiled in their easy lives that they don't know what it is to work hard. Is this why, perhaps,American jobs are being taken over by foreign workers? Is it that they are willing to work hard and we're not? In my day, there was no such thing as grunt work. We did as we were told and we worked hard, and I mean really hard. We got paid for the job. Not a lot, but enough for a teenager to buy gas with and whatever it is teenagers need.
I know, I know, off on a rant. And I know it's getting hard to get good help. But it just gets me so mad that the kids these days aren't willing to work. I have one of my own (16) that is hitting the pavement as we speak looking for a job. America needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Pretty soon, it will be another country's citizens coming over and taking our jobs because so many are just too lazy to work hard.
And I do agree that the executives are probably taking as much as they can for thier own pockets which is a crying shame.
Enough. Sorry. Dont get me started on Wal-mart, which I DO NOT shop at.
