Deleted Post or "Didn't you Google that?"
Thanks to the commenter who caught that NESARA thing. I failed to Google it, saw it late at night and got caught up in it. NESARA was a proposal by NESARA.org but it was never even given a bill number, let alone enacted into law. My bad for being so busy I overlooked the source. One of those too good to be true moments. The particular website I copied from is from a scam artist who is exposed in the very first hit from Google. My apologies to those non-Republican folk who whooped and hollered and thought they were saved. And for those that missed it, the aliens are next after we defeat the terrorists. ;-)

One factor that eveyone in "mangement" needs to reconsider is this also, since the stores are NOT closing as frequently, and for as long as they "used to" for the entire month of January, AND July. The managers, are all working longer days and hours, and their salaries have NEVER been renegotiated and "raised." So basically, the continue to abuse management in this manner. They get MORE out of the management for "their" dollars. Most managers, don't ever get even the "national cost of living" for a raise. Which is only 3 1/2 percent. LET alone the regular employees. I know they don't.
I know I didn't this year and neither did my Store Manager, nor others we know. These are MAJOR reasons "why" managers are leaving the stores in droves. Not counting, so many added responsibilities, re-modeling of their stores, that NEVER seem to end, no payroll to support your stores in a decent way, no "perks" (lots of stores have incentives for their employees to boost the store/company employee morale), bad truck schedules, bad truck unloading experiences,horrible delayed information from the top down,(no one knows when we are really going to reopen in July yet) no morale boosts at all from Corporate, just continued belittling, "we need you to be more efficient" is all we hear, right......with no payroll, or bodies to do this with??? How can you be productive with just TWO people in your stores, one being a manager, and one a clerk? This makes no sense, check out the REAL stores out there and SEE how many clerks they have on the floors at any given time, let alone managers. AND they have clean stores, AND can do real customer service, like we would love to do and can't because we can't even answer the phone with just two of us when we have a rush at the registers. Let alone the fact that we know they are stealing in the back of the store, but there is only 2 of us so there is NOTHING we can do to police the matter.
ADD to all this......the work loads increase, like now there is the "task list for the week" etc, etc,not couting what the regional sends you to do all the time.... May is "Clean out the stock room Month???" and the work in general, is laborious, and heavy, and then add in the every day STRESS! These things are hurting the managers, and their staff. The list goes on and on.I have only listed a few things.
Tell me they don't KNOW in Dallas, why they are loosing their brightest and best managers, that have been loyal, and dedicated. People tend to "give up" once they see that the battle can't be won, nor even attempted any longer. There comes a point where you no longer want to "lead" your own staff there, or go there yourself. Because you are so ill equiped. Then you find out that there are REAL positions out there in the world that DO really care about their managers, and their employees. We managers are finding this out and are leaving. It isn't that HARD to do Tuesday Morning. You want a 1000 stores opened up in the future, but you will have no one to run them. Only fools will continue to take on your abusive positions. We are loosing managers are an overwhelming rate in my state. THREE, Senior Store Managers, that I know of in the past 4 months here.Two, had been with the company OVER 10 years each, with over 20+ years of VAST leadership qualities. THESE were two of the top mangers in the zone, with two of the highest profit stores in the state, and zone. This has to hurt.
Something is wrong, and corporate does not get it. Why? They are opting out for their motto "cheaper, more productve people".....that's why. So younger, less experienced, is cheaper???? That's what they think. You get what you pay for and you SHOULD not abuse your employees, at any job level, THAT is why you loose your managers, and your regular employees at such scary rates. The employee, turnover in the stores are horrible. Once new employees, understand the huge work load they are expected to do for $5.35 an hour.....they are out of there.
Someone needs to watch "The Apprentice" and take some lessons from Donald Trump.
SOME of the top of the top officers and appointed leaders of this company need to be "Fired" in Dallas. I guess the people at Madison Dearborn, don't watch that show either. As long as the M & M, team make them money.......they can dump on their employees all they want I guess. Get the job done at "all costs?" People have lives, and VALUE, and one thing they seem to forget.....employees are consumers too.

Actually I didn't really hafta search for it. I'd studed constitutional law and gone over tons of supreme court cases. Figured that would've been important enough to make it in there somewhere. Not that I'd not want that to happen (the anarchy would be fun for a bit) but there's no way any government chooses to revolutionize itself. The only hoope is reform. Now, back to TM and their troubles. lol
