The one thing I've always appreciated about Hy-vee as being distinct from other stores is that their employees always seemed very happy. Employee happiness indicates to me a health of the store from the bottom up because if the bottom level employees are happy, the management is happy, and I can assume that the CEO and corporate are happy.
Today I was enlightened to the opposite of that fact. Hy-vee employees at this store are not happy. The management is not happy. And, although the employee I spoke with insisted otherwise and that 'other' stores up north were doing well and happier I tend to see the truth of ground zero as being a general indication of health throughout the organization. The management is not happy and therefore, somehow and for some reason, corporate is not happy with their money tree.
I don't want to see the decline of this company happen as I have seen the decline of other national companies just because the derps at the top don't believe the lower level employees are working hard enough for their carrots. Like I said, I have seen this happen before and it's not the employees fault for being too chatty about their opinions about the company with customers. I'm a human, they're human, and I do assume that corporate is composed of human beings, whom I love, but the upper level greed that is destroying the job market is also destroying the spirit of the American people and the people at the top don't seem to care.
You can serve me better by showing fiscal responsibility in your personal lives and giving more of the people the opportunity for a "full time" number of hours per week.

Also I want to point out that this is the summation of my efforts to work off the two hours of time that I had earned when my sister Lisa bought my Charity Pens of Justice for $10. This isn't all that she got but I thought she'd like this little bit too. :)
