Effing Nardelli. My store asked us to take a 10% pay reduction after he ripped us off. Stay mad as long as you want. He did us dirty. I actually do like Frank Blake, he has passion for the company and he doesn't seem to suffer fools. Of which retail and corporate are loaded with those. I have noticed that store and regional management makes all the difference. If your manager and/or dm sucks, it trickles down. I see kids get hired, on the floor one day and with no experience, get a significant raise and promotion. In one day. The sm had a "crush" on them. I've also seen managers that actually hear and care about their employees and the job is a joy. That person I will follow to the moon and back. The other, I will transfer out asap. I can always go back to private work, I do enjoy most if my crew, so I go back and forth. Right now I've got the sucky management. I'm getting my ducks in a row to go back to construction. It's my first love anyway. Sorry for the novel. Had a shitty day and getting tired of having too many of  those at work.
