What the problem with today's retail? Customer Service Production High Turnover Investment in Today's Profits Not Tomorrow's Employment Morale Although my steps are in no type of order this is another blog I will be adding to as well. This is all hypothetical I realize that maybe 1/4 to a half of my opinions can never be implemented because of human nature, egos, greed, etc. But its always good to dream because you never know it may come true. 2/1/17 Play to Strengths Most employers forget this they like to dictate what they expect and what they think they deserve. Well every human being is different and all should be utilized differently. There should be a tolerance for this for instance, if you have an employee who produces leave him or her be, don't try and shape them into a service employee and vice versa. This should be a fundamental fact but so many employers get this wrong. Because employers impose there will on there employees, you get toxicity, disgr...

Does this have anything to do with history? Absolutely not, has nothing to do with history at all. Well don't you hate work gosh complain about to your closest of pals? Sure, but I'm no different than a sports fan complaining that his team should get rid of El Gordo Funmania cause he's hitting .089/ We're humans we complain. So what in the world do you mean work makes you free? What I mean is I'd rather be working than doing nothing. Producing something for some cause than doing absolutely nothing and being idle. Being lazy is not in my blood. By working I have a purpose to better myself and advance a cause. What's the cause or purpose? Well what does every company strive for? Money. How do they make money? Production. My cause or purpose? To become the best I can be in my point of view (thats the most important). I can care less what other people think. As long as I'm happy with me thats all that matters. Why aren't you staying in one pl...

Yes I could have used another word instead of pet for more of a bang but I'd rather be more PG in my writings.  Thought I'd keep it simple and do a list to gather my thoughts in a more efficient manner and where people can follow it. Lets start off with Unions Back when they had sit down strikes, fought, and went to jail for there cause is when they were most effective. They were literally the Blue Collar backbone in those days sticking up for the little man. As Unions got bigger they started to be more like a corporation. Union leaders became white collar and were more interested in how many people they had. They also bowed up and gave into management demands. Union Stewards who once were leaders and stuck up for the blue collars became themselves white collar fat cats, taking back room deals from management, playing favorites, and throwing good workers out because they "complained or were too much of a non-comformist". 1. Every CBA formed with the exception of...

Question? How do we control a diverse workplace with diverse minds? How do we cover up the corruption? How do we brainwash employees into thinking the company works in there best interest? And how do we rid of the JFK's and Lennon's of the workforce or silence them? Answer? With force? No we tried this and we failed almost taking the company down i the process Having LP act as gestapo watching the employees every move? Yes it works sometimes but not all the time. How about having Human Resources... On the outside having a facade of working for the employees and rewarding them but in reality we are doing the bidding of the company and its best interests whether it helps or hurt the employee. And taking the ball out of managements hand and having a uniformed system of policy that hurts 50% of the employees. Forming and changing benefits that we know the employees will balk at because it takes a good portion of there pay. Essentially dissolving those benefits or better ...
