Tag: saving money

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???
