Happy holidays to those who celebrate, and Happy Chinese food day to those who don't!

In the spirit of the holidays, I bring this story off CNN, proving that one company apparently knows how to treat its workers.

*sniff* I need to go buy some cookies.

I did actually have Chinese food for lunch that day, how did you know? :)


This is the kind of story that brings out my working-class rants. I've worked for a company that did that before-lied to the employes and promised things, and then laid everybody off. If they'd just been honest and given us a timeline, we could have planned so much better; but all they were worried about was making as much profit as they could before they closed the doors...and if everyone had started quitting, after finding new jobs, then they'd have been out some money.

The new company here just won the loyalty of all those workers, and probably much of the town-because in a place that small, this will impact *everybody*, to some degree.

It's nice to see that *some* businesses can figure out the stunningly simple fact that if you treat your people well, they'll work harder, be more punctual and less inclined to call out, have greater initiative, and therefore the company benefits more. I *would* say an intangible benefit is being able to look yourself in the mirrored eye every day, but I don't think that's a problem for far too many execs.

Ok, lemme zip it now. :)
