Re: ...

Who thinks about long term anymore. Employees are essentials to a company's success.

Circuit City tried to be cheap and fired all their top earners years ago and got new staffing for every store. Look at where they are now. All the signs will be taken down in a matter of weeks.

Sprint tried to be cheap and off shored most of their call center calls. Look at who is trying to stay afloat.

Comcast doesnt pay benefits and uses contractors for installs. Everyone here knows about their terrible customer service. Their installers have killed people, raped, kidnapped, blown up houses, etc. The kidnapping story was never posted here but this happened in Tracy, CA 2 months ago. »www.insidebayarea.com/ci_11124852

When I go do my grocery shopping, the checkers are always busting their buts. The ones on the floor are always busy. They're a union shop and workers get fair pay. Go to Walmart and you can see a different level of service. They barely speak English. They will check your items at the pace they see fit. Most of the time its slow as molasses. They don't care if the line is 10 people deep. They are paid near minimum wage and all look as if they just got kicked off welfare.

But the good news for these Walmart employees is they still get to milk Uncle Sam via medicare.
All of these anti union rants amuse me because it was the threat of collective bargaining that gave employers the incentive to pay decent wages and to give benefits. Along comes Walmart and the "competitive" argument ensues into other sectors such as telecoms. This is great....the competitive argument now means that we're all in competition for immigrant wages!
