Was he one of those "Gestapo style" managers?<br /><br />From Wikipedia:<br /><br /><i>Career with Wal-Mart<br /><br />Glass joined the company in 1976. In his position as Executive Vice President of Finance for Wal-Mart Stores, he administered the overall financial and accounting responsibilities of the company prior to his appointment as Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer. He served in that role until 1984 when he was named President and Wal-Mart’s Chief Operating Officer. In 1988 he was named Wal-Mart’s Chief Executive Officer, stepping down from the position in January 2000. Glass was active in the company’s growth from 123 stores in 1976 to its more than 4,000 nationally and internationally in 2005.<br /><br />Glass was named Retailer of the Year by members of the retail industry in 1986 and 1991 and was inducted into the Retail Hall of Fame in August, 2000. Glass has been a member of the Board of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. since 1977.<br /><br />In 1992, NBC news series Dateline interviewed Glass during an investigation into Wal-Mart's "Made in America" and "Bring It Home to the USA" marketing campaigns.[2] <b>The show aired footage of children working in factories in Bangladesh making clothes destined for Wal-Mart, as well as footage of Wal-Mart stores with "Made in America" signs hung over imported goods. When asked about children in Asia working in sweatshop conditions, Glass' reply was "You and I might, perhaps, define children differently,"[3] and then said that since Asians are quite short, one can't always tell how old they were.[4] Glass was shown photographs of one factory that burned down with the children still locked inside. He responded, "Yeah...there are tragic things that happen all over the world."[5] Glass stormed out of the interview, which was terminated immediately by Wal-Mart. ...</b></i>David Davenportnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-41771829490024194192011-06-25T15:45:24.434-07:002011-06-25T15:45:24.434-07:00David Davenport said:

A coworker wanted to be my job-sharing partner, so we made this proposal: My partner would work 3 weekdays and I would work two. Also, I would work Saturdays at straight time, relieving the overtime burden on the other women coworkers, who hated it. We would each take half benefits and half vacation time (at different times so as not to leave the department unduly understaffed). We recommended a new grad in our field we knew and liked, who was currently looking for a position, to be hired to fill out the roster.<br /><br />Good deal, right? We job-sharing partners get the part time we want, the department saves money on overtime, while fully meeting patient needs. Win-win, right?<br /><br />My single, barren lady-manager's immediate response? No.<br /><br />"May we ask why not? Perhaps we can modify our proposal to better fit department needs."<br /><br />"No."<br /><br />"Why?"<br /><br />"Because if I were to give you girls this, then EVERYONE will be bugging me to change their schedule."<br /><br />So, we went upstairs. The V.P., a very kind man, had made a point to speak to me while pregnant, "Congratulations! Children make life worth living!"<br /><br />When we told HIM our proposal and our boss's reaction, he made a phone call. <br />We got our job-sharing. <br />The other employees were happy. The lady boss, however, was snotty to me from then on.JSMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-27629146481796252382011-06-24T10:48:13.421-07:002011-06-24T10:48:13.421-07:00"Well,the bambino was a surprise,but the rest..."Well,the bambino was a surprise,but the rest of it,nope."<br /><br />Ah, come on.

Most managers are dippy-headed gals, positively hostile to the kind of hard-working, hard-charging, plain-speaking men referred to in this post."<br /><br />So you're willing to contribute to the welfare slush-fund to keep women a minimum in workplace? Sometimes this blog really gets surreal.<br /><br />There are down sides to having a mostly male environment--I've been there and it ain't usually pretty. There are downsides to having mostly female which I need not elaborate, and you are not without a "point." But short of establishing said welfare slush (which I'm sure you don't want to contribute to), or the sort of selective aborticide practiced in India and China, this is the configuration society will deal with from now on and we will evolve with it accordingly. Even the "traditional" wife/mother doesn't get a meal ticket for the full 80 yrs. No man wants to support a woman all her life; even Daddy Warbucks made sure Little Orphan Annie earned her keep, starring in those comic strips all those years.<br />Get over it. You sound ridiculous. This "lawsuit" fallout is part of the instability and chaos of transition. We've been through it before as a society. There was more change between 1800 and 1890 during which time American and European society went from only 2% of persons engaged in "information" occupations, to over 70% thus engaged. Today it's over 90%. Ancient crafts and industries fell by the wayside. Andrew Carnegie's family left Scotland in the 1840s because the weaving trade collapsed. Men have been lamenting the loss of their "powers" for longer than that. No matter what, that seems to happen. <br />The litigiousness is turning around. You can always counter-sue the poc racists and the feminists, and I would like to see more of that done, because any laws needed to ensure "equality" are already in place and most people try to observe them--or else. Ineqalities based on gender or race are mostly in the minds of the accusers these days.btw, in east Africa women in their own workplace areas--the domestic one-- have a term for men who hang around too much. It's "wet I'd eat those words.<br />leaf." Not so much getting in the way, as just hard to sweep up.dc adapternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-54940473733116483522011-06-24T01:09:53.366-07:002011-06-24T01:09:53.366-07:00"If you're too lazy to come up with a pse..."If you're too lazy to come up with a pseudonym, then I can’t be bothered to humor you."<br /><br />u mad, bro?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-71711310586872386352011-06-24T00:34:18.936-07:002011-06-24T00:34:18.936-07:00for all the change that has swept over the company...<i> for all the change that has swept over the company, at the store level there is still a fair amount of the old communal sociability.
