One of my favorite Big Box stories just happened a few years ago. Target decided to open up a bunch of stores in Canada and once they realized people didn't want a more expensive Wal-Mart with less stock the sales tanked. In a gross overeaction Target decided to close all 133 stores. The best part is they decided to pay the CEO a severance more than all the other employees combined: "Gregg Steinhafel took a total of $61 million U.S. from Target when he left the company last spring, according to Fortune's calculations. Meanwhile, the fund Target set up to pay employees as it winds down operations over the next four months is set at $56 million U.S. " http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/01/21/target-ceo-severance-canadian-workers_n_6517272.html

Amused to Death posted:Our very busy supermarket just installed Walmart type bagging carousels at half our human check out lanes. And its definitely not for customer service, they suck, the lines are backing up worse than ever(and theres fewer people up front to help with anything that pops up). But it cuts down on front end labor needs since it eliminates baggers. The front end employees are usually the worst paid, but they also by far consume the most hours There are two quick ways to generate more revenue for a quarter, the first way which anyone should try to do is to optimize your pricing. Charge more for goods that are in demand. The second is to start "trimming the fat". Start cutting hours and personnel, start cutting expenses. The second bleeds your employees rather than your customers, but what most don't realize you will enter a death spiral once you start cutting yourself too much. Or they do realize and they will jump ship once it starts sinking.

blowfish posted:I hope he forgot to mention the at least 1 pair of underpants per 2-3 days because more time than that will get gross enough to make any possible money savings not worth it The trick is to wear them backwards when they get dirty, then inside out, then inside out and backwards

And now that residential schools are closed, racism is done forever so people expect Native people to just get jobs and get over it Meanwhile people have the image of Natives as drunks/thieves/beggars so they won't hire them, while simultaneously hating on the equal opportunity programs that say you should hire some native people and this takes away a job from a white man somehow. We also put their reserves in lovely locations, one in Ontario is near where Winnipeg gets it's drinking water but the reserve itself has had a drinking water advisory for years. We are literally waiting until the "problem" solves itself by having the reserves just die out
