If corporations in this country never extinguished the "work your way up" system in this country, they would never have to do stuff like this.

But all corporations/companies have been doing for MANY DECADES now, is hire off the street, those who think they are geared towards certain corporate jobs.

LONG GONE are the days of working from the ground up, learning your business from the bottom and working your way to the top.

Companies nowadays don't even allow promotions above your hired in status or department, and have been this way for decades now.

Just yet, another way companies have cut their own throats in the business world.

A retired school teacher that I know is dumber than 80% of the steelworkers that I worked with and this idiot complains about the money that "burger flippers" earn. This guy wouldn`t last a 4- hour shift at McWendyKings. I pointed out to him that "burger flippers" have been beaten, shot, stabbed and have food thrown at them by drunks.

I agree, Corporations don't invest in people. Why should they when they can put out an ad and get enough resumes of qualified people they don't need to train.

I don't see how this really helps, to be honest. If I were the Supply Chain Distribution Specialist, how would standing around in an orange apron for a day really help me?

It is the corporation's way of cutting labor.

All Corps should make this happen as too many hire these mba's off the street that know nothing about operations but set company policy.

Excuse me, but worked at Home Depot back in the early 1990s. The owners opened their first store and they all worked to make it successful. Then they would allow floor workers to become department heads, then assistant managers and then store managers, because those employees knew how well the operation works. Why not have the Main office, spend some time seeing the operations, so then they can appreciate more how their salaries end up getting paid. Stock sell at over 400 dollars a share. Dividend is paying 9 dollars a share.
 
Wow, i dont usually agree with you, but you are spot on. Three cheers Debbie.

For a long time, they hired people just by the degrees they had rather than what they actually produced.
That didn't work out so well.
Now they are realizing they need to start measuring people by their productivity rather than just their CVs.
 
Take a gun company like Henry Arms.....When you call customer service you are as likely to get the CEO as anyone else....The whole HQ handles customer service.

Then look at say PSA (Palmetto state Armory) .....Their people don't really know shit about what they sell when you call with an issue.

Henry Arms has been around for quite a while. Quality goes on, before the gun goes out....
