“Charging forward”? Amazon and Walmart are leading the charge. As a customer, I haven’t walked out of a CVS in quite some time without something aggravating me. Product out, misplaced, congested with those totes, “all cvs this or that on sale, but... read more

The real problem is executive pay, inequality and mentality. As long as executives get paid big bonuses for increasing profits with no long term growth goals, it will continue to be a problem. The executives are just taking the shareholders money. A... read more

Or am I just the lucky one?

I just left Staples about a month ago. One of the best decisions I’ve made career wise. Staples has gone down as a place of employment since late 2015. The writing was on the wall then. I give Staples 3 or 4 years before they end up like Payless. If... read more

I usually take two hour lunches to work out and run errands but I still get my work done during normal business hours. Does Chevron frown on employees working out at lunch or taking long lunches in general? Are most CVX managers clock watchers?

So, how’s Q4 shaping up? Normally the best quarter sales-wise by far, is cloud making any progress? My quess is not, but you all let me know. How bad are things?
