BIG BUSINESSES, Do they care for the employees?

As some of you may know, I work for a multi-million dollar company in Augusta, Maine. I have for 6 or so months now. Since I have been there not once has the air conditioner in the whole store worked. It works in half the store and then on the side that does not work we have a fan and the air that comes in from the rest of the mall.I have heard many stories since I started, someone stole the copper from the system on the roof, it only works in the winter time, the store is hurting so they are saving money by turning it off…. At what point does a multi-million dollar company worry about us little employees? They have allowed us to carry our water bottles around with us now and have made a few extra brakes available when needed, but, will it take someone being taken out in an ambulance like JCPenny in Augusta Maine for them to fix it, isn’t the employees health a concern to them or are we that replaceable? It makes me question big businesses. It makes me wonder, do they not care customers are complaining?,Do they not care how miserable it makes it for us to work efficiently, ? I remember a time when the employer cared for the employee and cared for the concerns of them. When did it change? When did we become so replaceable that we were allowed to work with sweat running down our faces and it was ok? What happened to BIG BUSINESS???

One thought on “BIG BUSINESSES, Do they care for the employees?”

Here’s what I would do, because it is the same in most nursing home facilities (where you are NOT allowed to have drinks, except in the break room)…don’t drink anything at all. When they have to call emergency ambulances because people are severely dehydrated, maybe they will think about this “cost efficiency” in a different way. They will be paying more out for rescue than what they would have paid to keep the A/C running. If they had any brains at all, they would want to keep the consumers in a comfortable, enjoyable environment, where the patrons would be more than happy to continue giving them their business. These companies would be better off letting the “little people” run this aspect of the business. They are the ones that are on the floor in most contact with customers. Without happy customers, there is no business. Period.
