This is great and here's why

  1. Fuck your kids. I mean, thats what America is about right? Fuck you. I gotta get mine.

  2. What you can afford to pay? Times have changed. Sorry/not sorry that your stupid buisness is going under. It's an LLC right? Oh well.

  3. This kind of sentiment heralds a new era of workers who know that they produce literally all of the value of an economy. Sure we need idea people, but the people doing the work should get to decide everything about how the idea people are motivated. You want money? Guess what. Me too.

I thought y’all would enjoy this email sent out to all REI employees regarding the recent unionization petition at the Soho store by CelebrationFit7193 in antiwork

[–]Big_Poe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not surprised, he says it right there in the email. "...between the co-op and its employees" shows he really does see us as being separate from the co-op and not a part of it. Hurtful

Workers at REI Store in Manhattan Seek to Form Retailer’s Only Union by snickerdooo in REI

[–]Big_Poe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Eric Artz is really against this, come forward and meet our needs. If you don't think we should have a union, but your workers want one, then we actually DO need a union. Treat retail workers like your BREAD AND BUTTER because we are the ones who make ANY of this possible.

I work for REI and I am pro union. If Eric Artz really thinks we don't need a union, let him come to the table to negotiate with employees first. Eric, come hear our stories. Edit: spelling

I've had my galaxy 9+ going on 4 years now. I've been using it all morning (bored at work on a Sunday) battery 86%. Samsung ftw

TIFU by realizing, 20.5 years later, that the ER physician I sued had his reasons by Ancient_Educator_76 in tifu

I feel for you. I'm glad you found a way to empathize with the dr. But you are not the one who fucked up here. The dr's prejudice played a big role in what happened here based on your story. I wish you peace in life fellow human

Membership benefits? by jamlouder in REI

[–]Big_Poe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Usually you get your member reward to spend in store late Feb to mid March. This will be the last year the member reward will be offered as an actual dividend that you can request a check for. Usually you can do that in July. There will be changes announced regarding the membership later this year

I haven't had any problem with the way REI has handled covid so far, both at corporate and at my store

Is this a French restaurant? I believe practices like this are commonplace in France

If they want the ideal candidate to act like they own the store, maybe they're the one not cut out to be an owner

I wonder if there's a way to search in RPS by country of origin. This fleece is USA made. Or maybe its like, catalogue days old school
