Company that has fired and blacklisted every available laborer: "NoBoDy wAnTs tO wOrK aNyMoRe!!!111!1one!!11!!!"
So… Amazon soon, basically. They are already struggling due to their churn.
So I like to sit in on town halls, all employee meetings, whatever the fuckin big cheese decides to brand their shit. I'm a contractor and usually have no business being there but I blend in, work very hands on and after a short time business forget I'm not just a worker so I get told to do a lot of things I don't have to do and sometimes it's fun to follow orders.
One day I questioned a site director when he gave the old "no one wants to work anymore, this generation blah blah blah". I asked him if he invested (which he obviously did) and if he would continue to invest with a broker who wasn't making him any money. Broker is getting paid. You aren't losing money. But you aren't making money. Balance even goes up a bit but the broker just takes more and you get the same old same old.
He didn't answer the question. It's rhetoric that shows an incredibly lazy perspective and every business that echoes it should be called on it immediately.
I don't contact there anymore. Place was called Mallinkrodt and if you follow the news you'll know how lovely their reputation is.
