Advice To The Lovelorn

You must document everything, grasshopper. Digital camera....digital video....write it down...timestamp (time and date) it. Of concern is truck unloading and backroom space...check with your firemarshal...he can be helpful ;-) Also note any conversations with your superiors that you think did not go according to ethics or law. If your not sure, use Google, it also can be your friend!
Of concern to me as a citizen is how this came about in our society. We want to purchase inexpensive "quality" goods, yet how do you think this feat comes about? In order for companies to be able to offer "cheaper" goods, they must cut costs. Most companies are misguided. They think that cutting labor costs is the cure all for successfully insuring that for now and into the future we can sustain this return on investment. You cut labor, your product is delivered unprofessionally, you lose customers, you lay off more people to "return on investment", it spirals downward to bankruptcy or stockholder intervention or a bad situation for corporate officers. A corporation will be successful if it streamlines warehouse and delivery concerns. This, along with the overall buying process, is how Walmart became so successful, although they almost threw that away when they got caught with labor scandals. Now they are always under media scrutiny, not always a good thing for corporations. Very balanced report of Walmart on CNBC by the way. I had a low opinion of Walmart until I saw that documentary. Sorry, the name of it escapes me, but it explained the corporate culture, the buying process, warehouse and distribution and it's interaction with the communities.
Anyone who would like to contact me personally may do so by e-mailing me at enolan4208@oops.comcast.net leaving out the oops. or you just won't get through...it's an e-mail trick so that "bots" don't mail you a million offers for canadian drugs and generic viagra ('I got a bridge to sell ya' kinda thingy). Just from people who think they have no recourse in a bad employment situation with a certain company...wink, wink. Besides, I can't tell you online who you should direct negative information about the working conditions at that certain...wink, wink....company.
So, let's see...in this post I haven't mentioned the name of the company that should become boycotted, nor the people responsible for this fiasco. This is a company that allows two middleaged women to unload a truck with four to five hundred (yeah, I know there's stores with more...just going by my experience) heavy cartons (I say heavy and I'm a 240 pound healthy male) and tell them they can't hire temps to help because your way over budget. And I swear those dudes in the warehouse put those heavy cartons on the top on purpose...you know...pack to light. I ran a store for Famous Footwear, a 7500 square foot discount shoe store, and received around three hundred cases a week, and I never worked up a sweat.Each store was set up by corporate for optimum receiving of product to expedite the restock process. Money is made by the product being out on the shelf, but the company also wanted to avoid employee burnout, something lacking with that certain...wink, wink....company. Employees at the store level (management, that is) were treated as if they were a part of corporate. Respect and help up the giggy because it's their product your selling there.
