Best Buy gets rid of the employee time clock - March 1, 2007
Quite interesting. How nice would it be to work when you want, around your schedule, AND, get a nice discount on all of your favorite electronics?
Now you can. Well, at least if you work at one of select few Best Buy stores about to test out a new non time clock environment. With close to 100% employee turnover over a year's time, they are said to be losing a lot of money in extra expenses involved in training new people and shuffling schedules when people quit without notice. Apparently discounts alone are not doing the trick.
I think this is a very innovative approach to the blue collar (and blue shirts ironically) working class morale situation. It seems nobody really enjoys their job anymore, and perhaps a more flexible, easy going environment in big ticket stores like Best Buy is just the change that employees have been looking for. Circuit City and CompUSA look out. Your employees may soon be headed to the other side...
