The failing of Blue Collar jobs

Have not done this is a REALLY long time. Pretty much not since we lost our sweet Pebble unexpectedly in October 2015. So much has happened since that time but I'll go into that later. It is quite interesting to see and hear about these large companies that have been around for years going out out of business and treating their employees like dirt. People that have been there 15, 20, 30, 40 years are being treated with no respect whatsoever. My husband has been with his company 18 years is so amazed at the lack of appreciation and respect of people that have been there longer than he has. This is by no means just his company. I read where another large retailer is closing 100 stores. Another well known one that has been around for over 100 hundred years. I understand change I get that but to treat employees who have worked all their life and many times sacrificed family time for their company, to be treated the way many are is a sad statement for any company. I love to research and do on most things. This is no exception. You can research the Many companies who mistreat their employees. Many are the large retailers and many are repeat offenders you might say. And yes my husbands company is on pretty much all the list. Pretty much all of these are blue collar jobs. Still absolutely no reason for it and beyond unacceptable. When people start treating workers who are people with respect, only then will companies stay open and thrive ....
