Its a tragedy & a disgrace.

There isn't much I can do, but there are a few ways I try to help keep people employed.
I don't shop at WalMart.
I don't use ATM cards.
I don't use scanners at the Stop & Shop, thus I still need a checker.

Joann was the deli manager, she is a wonderful woman, always happy & helpful. When I saw her Saturday, she served me & I said its always a treat to see her. She filled up with tears & said they had transferred her to the Port Chester store, they were reopening it. Sunday was her last day there.
Oh, a few others in her dept said she was the best manager they ever had. I said we could have protested!
I wished her an easy transition, it will be a 45/50 minute commute, she's lives close to this store.

I happened to see her Sunday morning, she was leaving the store. I was able to hug her & hold her as she cried & wish her well one more time & tell her how lucky they are to be getting her.

Why do companies treat people like this.... she's been there for 9 years.

Clo:

Many American companies used to feel commitment to their employees, IBM being the one I am most familiar with. Now workers, especially higher-priced American workers, are an unfortunate business expense like utility bills or office furniture.

It's a Brave New World. Sometimes I'm glad I'm old. I don't think I could tolerate the demeaning interview process new hires face these days. I know of youngsters with good, solid backgrounds being humiliated and told they are not qualified or needed. Can't imagine how flawed candidates are going to make it. The superfluous common man is becoming a tragedy.
