File under: How to get rid of long-term employees that cost the company too much money.
Employees from all the stores are complaining about having to clean the store bathrooms. But now you know one of the reasons the keyholders got a $2 raise; so they can’t complain about cleaning the disgusting restrooms or doing all the other cr---y jobs the managers should be doing.
This is nothing new for my store though. I remember years ago, our Regional Manager told our store manager to fire the cleaning company because it’ll be cheaper to have the staff do it. Since then, some quit, several people have gotten very sick, and I think one had hepatitis and was gone for quite a while. I won’t even get into what the cleaning chemicals are doing to your skin and lungs. There is a reason they have professional cleaners come in but B&N doesn’t value what they call “booksellers” but I’m sure they’ll change that title too with the latest restructuring after closing many more stores after the holidays.
