You no longer see them every day and you can't share the bonding that comes from complaining about the boss or having to work all weekend.

Like SS guards that flicked the switch! We are looking for better jobs, but they are few and far between. A friend of mine works for a big bank (they have a stagecoach in their adds) and she is forced to sing a song on their conference calls if they are late getting on. Even if they are working with a customer. They have been told that manditory meeting will be held earlier and earlier in the morning (before 8:00 am) as punishment for not making there rediculous sales goals. They are forced to do telemarketing to badger customers into opening additional accounts (how many checking accounts can one really use), or scare them into the bank office to put the hard sale on them. My friend really likes most parts of her job, but at least two levels of managment exist purely to intimidate them in to achieving their goals, which they are forced to do 120 percent. If you are a perspective customer or looking for a job, don't dismiss my message based on my unspell checked ramblings. These issues are real and Jack Stempf had better do something to fix them or just like GM the stage coach will dwindle away because they will be unable to buffalo customers and good people will stop working for them. My friend is looking as are every other manager in her state that are not able to make the sales goals developed a year ago when the economy was in a little better shape. Jack, how do you achnoledge that most of your branch managers are looking for a different company to work for in the anual report? These are my ventings on things I cannot change:

And with my pre existing conditions and those of my wife, there is no existing medical insurance company that will offer us any coverage under any circumstance.

You wouldn't be more dedicated to a job that treats you with mutual respect? Won't you get medical coverage at another job? This is the sort of mentality that traps us in dead end, crappy jobs. The easy way out is just saying "Hey, this is good right now." instead of taking initiative and doing what it takes to move on. You can’t still be friends with co-workers after you leave?

People will rate the company on pay, respect, work/life balance and several other factors. Also, people will describe their working experience at the place.

That way before applying to an opening, you could check for reviews of the company/store. I would love to see a website listing employee reviews of their company and how good they are to work for.
