Bush's Fantastic Economy: 1-25-04 Midwest Retailer Meijer Cuts 1,900 Positions: get rid of slackers, send work to India
....which has nothing whatsoever to do with Bush, the economy, or sending work to India. In fact, Meijer expected to create 6,500 new jobs with the opening of new stores during 2004 and 2005.
Here's a clue (not that I actually expect Dave to ever get one): Companies
expand when the economy is
good. Companies eliminate wasteful and unnecessary positions whether the economy is good, bad, or ugly.
The fact that all employees getting the whack are managers and not 'The Little Man' should serve to warm the Socialist cockles of your heart, Dave.
I'm wondering, though, if Dave ever practices what he preaches? What I mean is, if I were to covertly follow Dave around long enough with a video camera, do you think I might catch him using one of those self check-out thingies?
Meijer started experimenting in October with a new cost-cutting bagging system at a store in the Grand Rapids suburb of Wyoming. If the ring-and-bag system, as it is known, is installed in all Meijer stores, nearly 8,000 mostly part-time bagging jobs would be lost, the retailer said.
