It's ok - 'alarming developments' are what Bruce Willis does best, lol. ;)

Proving that I can be as self centered as anyone, it doesn't matter to me - I've got a recipe for a Ho Ho cake that's even better than the real thing, lol. ;)

Who's to Blame for the Hostess Bankruptcy: Wall Street, Unions, or Carbs? - Jordan Weissmann - The Atlantic Yet another perspective - this one mentions the role of private capital [oh dear!] but even more, management stupidity. Hey, the CEO only gets a paltry $2M - not even enough to impress...

Is there any company that doesn't face lawsuits from someone at some time?! Costco has managed the balancing act pretty well, from what I've read, keeping customers and labor and management in the mutually dependent relationships that satisfy all three: win/win/win. There are many other...

Costco [for example] is apparently managing to do a great job of keeping everyone happy: workers, management, and customers. It can be done.

Missie: WM is the 'poster child' because they were the first in many ways and the most ruthless in others to drive costs down & profits up. They pioneered a lot of innovations [Dead Peasant's insurance policies on employees, limiting nearly all to part time status, giving workers a title in...

Did Congress kill the Twinkie? The tariff tale behind the Hostess demise.(+video) - CSMonitor.com Or maybe it's just waaay easier for management to blame the unions [as opposed to Congress].....

It's a perfectly logical extension of the philosophy that put internet at the driver's fingertips, innit? If they can update their facebook & twitter status and find a nearby restaurant [and read reviews] and check the NYSE while enroute, why not have the ability to print and fax at the same...

Missie: it's great that your mother has a good job, but the negative perception of WM is drawn from a great many sources, not just personal knowledge. [I worked at Sam's Club long enough to see some of the tactics for myself.] When publicity forced WM to change some policies, they did, but I...

I don't take any of the energy drinks/supplements, because they make me feel jittery - probably cause I drink Coke Zero, and the combo is an OD on caffeine for me. My younger daughter was sucking down a lot of Monster brand energy drinks, though, [her roomie is sponsored by the brand, and gets a...

The money is not comparable, IMO. [I've driven 18 wheels, and a cargo van, and a 6 wheel straight truck, where I am now]. But neither are the 'hassles' [for lack of a better word: DOT regs, inspections, weigh stations, parking issues, logging - a lot of freedom in a van. And you can get through...

At WalMart, the title 'manager' doesn't mean management, it's how they avoid paying overtime to full time employees - overtime is not permitted [in the labor budget] no matter what the circumstances. In the past, store managers have been caught doctoring time cards when employees demanded to...

I'm guessing the joking/poking [aka camaraderie] the L1 crew is known for wasn't the deciding factor. :rolleyes:

Nobody's gonna call him a 'gimme goober' ever again - bravo!

I rarely have a problem with the people [security, clerks, forklift drivers], my problem is with a system that provides a mailing address [for a truck delivery] and customers who fail to provide clear signage [or any visible address] so I'm trying to find where I need to go when I get there...
