That's why I don't - on both instances. However, recognize that in these Hard Times, many people are trapped in their jobs and management is taking full advantage of it, just like in the 1930s.
“...many people are trapped in their jobs...”
Not so much. Most folks can find work elsewhere, just not as good.
Maybe I am different, I have never felt trapped in a job. I always felt if I wasn’t treated right I could and would quit- and did a few times. I was willing to do any kind of work, willing to move or whatever it took so I always managed to get another job and never felt like I couldn’t. I think people trap themselves in jobs and marriages and other things, I have never felt I couldn’t do something different if I wanted to so don’t understand that at all.
Some companies and managers will take advantage of workers when they can, that is absolutely true. It is up to the employee to not allow it to happen. There is also the company’s side of the equation that retail is very competitive right now and most of the major retail companies if not all are going all out for Black Friday. In order to survive in today’s climate- and be financially stable enough to keep people working Walmart has to do the same or more. I have worked for people in a crunch for one reason or another and instead of complaining I thought it was time to pull together and bust our butts to make it all work. Walmart employees should be willing to give it their all or quit. If they really do think they are being treated badly they really need to quit.
Many were “trapped” prior to the advent of unions.
Are you advocating something that inquiring minds desire to know?
Do you restrict your purchase of union only or non-union establishments?
