Screwing Over Retail Workers
According to 'Reuters News Service, "New York's attorney general has questioned 13 national retailers, including Gap Inc, Target Corp and JC Penney, about "on-call shifts," a staffing practice that requires workers to find out just hours before their shift whether or not they need to report to work."
There's not a doubt in my mind the New York AG has no say in what an employer can or cannot do. Still, isn't this a kick in the butt to employees?
It's the old story of companies doing whatever they want as long as employees are willing to put up with it. How do employers expect people to give a hoot about them if they don't give two nickels about those under their employ?
This doesn't bode well for neither party nor the customers they serve. The short and long of this is... garbage in ='s garbage out. No loyalty given. None received.
Apparently ethics in business is no longer being taught in our institutes of higher learning. What a world it's become when people no longer give a rat. Quite sad really.
