There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
I was out and about with a neighbor to run errands for stuff we wanted. We stopped at this CVS.
My gosh, there was NOT enough staff. What little staff there was, was trying so hard to be professional but we could see they were stressed at the overwhelming demands upon them from so many customers. Many of those customers were openly irate. No one was managing the understaffed situation. There was not a manager in sight, or someone acting as a manager. The employee at the register of the line we were in apologized saying they HAD to use the bathroom, then closed down their register and left. No one replaced them. I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. We put our items down and left without them. I will not contribute to employees' mistreatment by shopping at stores so clearly under-staffed, and to executive's bloated compensation directly resulting from that under-staffing.
Store was dirty.
We WON'T be back.
This business should reduce its hours open to when it has adequate staffing and is clean. Instead, the poor staff is stretched so thin everyone's stressed. The staff is stressed. The customers are stressed.
I blame the CVS executives. https://prospect.org/labor/pharmacists-stage-walkout-in-early-unionization-effort/
Greed is defined as a deadly sin for a good reason.
Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 1 Peter 5:2-3
No matter how paranoid you are, you're not paranoid enough. Some accusations are criminal treatment of employees; most are about inhumane treatment of employees. http://www.pharmaciststeve.com/cvs-pharmacist-dies-on-the-job-from-cardiac-mi-forced-to-wait-for-relief-pharmacist-to-show-up/
CVS KNOWINGLY UNDER-STAFFS, placing an unreasonable and dangerous burden on front-line workers.
CVS has not let staff take legally required breaks or leave when sick. We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated.
CVS CEO Larry Merlo was named as 8th highest paid CEO in the US by CNN Money in 2014. At that time, his total compensation was a whopping $22.9 million of avarice. When compared to the salary of an average CVS employee, earning $28,700 that year, this CVS CEO was paid MORE than 422 times as much.
CVS' Merlo was the top paid health CEO in 2019.
CVS' multi-millionaire Merlo, along with entire CVS greedy executives has fallen under harsh criticism for way they brutally run their operations. An absence of justice disintegrates a business, community, a state, a nation.
The world's richest people emit the most carbon.
Has NO Military Veterans Discount as a token thank you to Veterans and GIs to provide resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population.
CEO compensation has grown staggeringly greedy 940% from 1978 - 2022.
Typical worker compensation rose only 12% since 1978 - 2022 --which hasn't kept up with inflation, which is 320.72% since 1978 up to 2020 when it escalated in 2021 to the highest in four decades. Worker's real compensation went down while corporate executive' compensation continued to rapidly escalate.
Dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.40% per year between 1978 and 2020, producing a cumulative price increase of 320.72% since 1978. This data means that prices up to 2020 are 4.21 times higher than average prices since 1978, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. The hyper-inflation struck in 2021, and the wealth inequality just got even way worse.
Wealth inequality is far too prevalent. It is far more severe than income inequality, and it has worsened the past 60 years. In 1963, high-wealth families -- those whose wealth ranked at the 90th percentile -- had $6 for every $1 in wealth owned by the typical middle-class family. By 2016, they had doubled that to $12.
For me, wealth means freedom, security and the opportunity to help others. Wealth is having options, resources, good health, contentment, personal growth, education, family, children, personal time, and being surrounded by people who inspire you and value you; people that you trust and like and who trust and like you. It's about many things that money cannot buy. It's about having your dignity recognized and accepted. It's about being respected and valued and appreciated.
