The last post I talked about dysfunctional workplaces. As luck would have it, I just read about a Pizza Hut in Florida that cared more about the green stuff than about their employees' lives. It is in The Washington Post, dated September 11th. The writer is Maura Judkis, and it is titled, "A Pizza Hut told Irma-fleeing employees they could be punished for skipping shifts."
The manager of the Pizza Hut said that employees could not evacuate more than 24 hours before the storm and must return within 72 hours. One Twitter writer (not the President) said my sentiments the best, "Pizza Hut wants it minimum wage employees to risk their lives for corporate profits."
Yet, the official statement from Pizza Hut said this is not their policy and the manager was not following company guidelines.
Yet, some companies put so much pressure on their workers to produce, these companies lay the groundwork for this type of behavior.
