Public Service Announcement

Hey, just wanted everyone from Lethbridge know that I in NO WAY think you should ever buy office supplies from Southern Stationers. Besides the obvious fact I'm going to school, I do not approve of the unethical way they treat employees. Management is rude and belittling, often times bordering on harassment. Wages are not in anyway linked with to the job you do, your experience or net profitability (why else would a new part time cashier make the same as someone who has been with the company for 13 years??) The store has been sold because the owners, Gary, Leslie and Diane seem to care more about hot tubs, trips to Italy and Cuba more than they do about the staff that has worked for the family for 20 plus years. Now a good portion of the staff will be experiencing major changes to their jobs and entire positions and departments are being eliminated to make the buyers happy. In a few months we will be called Corporate Express. The name change is merely superficial. The same bosses will run it and then same seedy tactics will keep it in the black. Avoid us, please.

Am I writing this out of anger? Absolutely. What other emotion do you think is acceptable here?
