Just a small comparison between the job I have now and the one I could have had if I had waited for the grocery store I used to work for to reopen.
On July 1st I received an email saying that everyone across all divisions was being paid a $250 bonus for the 4th of July. Normally this would be a paid holiday but this year it fell on a Saturday so it wasn
When I worked at the grocery store the only day we ever closed was Christmas day. Now, they are closed for all holidays. According to their Facebook posts it's so their employees can spend the day with their families. According to employees that I used to work with, it's because he doesn't want to pay time and a half. I asked if they at least get holiday pay and I was told no. They no longer get paid for any holiday.
I really feel like I dodged a bullet by not going back there. It's nice to work for a company that cares about their employees
Just a small update. The other girl who I was working with in the office found another job and last Friday was her last day. Now I will be alone 3 out of 5 days and my manager will be coming twice a week from out of town. When I inquired about days that I already had scheduled off or one that I need to leave early I was told that I shouldn't worry about any time off at all and they would work something out even if it meant closing the office early so I could leave for an appointment. They really have gone above and beyond.

This is wonderful. It has always seemed to me that this job is so much better. Plus you are not on your feet all day!
I think that’s great! Things worked out for the better. I’m really glad you are at a place where you are appreciated.
It''s good to know that you're being regarded as a person rather than just a number. That's the way to get the best from your employees.
I'm glad you are happy with the new job. Hard to work for people who don't care about you.
Ann, Were you friends, here on Blogger with Brenda Mallard of "What's Up Down South" blog? She was also on FB. Seems she passed away within the last few days...so sad. I've known her since 2007 when I started blogging.
Well, have a safe and happy week!
hugs
Donna
