Everyone needs to have a blog, so I guess I need one too. I have no idea what I'll write here...we'll see :-)

Wow... my favorite local grocery store is very dysfunctional

I just happened across this post "Ottawa Grocery Chain Fires Employees Over Facebook Posting". The post seemed to have attracted a lot of mistreated employees. Here are a couple snippets:

From a supervisor:

"I can vouche that I have been specifically told by management NOT to give breaks during busy times, like Easter. Even if all of the cash lanes were up and manned, any person off cash was required to bag instead of taking their break. I told them that was against labour law and they blatantly said they don't care and not to ask any questions. I ran the breaks, anyway, but often did not have a chance to take one for myself."

Sounds pretty sketchy...maybe its boycott time??!!
