The first time I heard of Quantum Services was over a year ago when one of the Wilson Farms district managers (they call them “supervisors”) decided that he was going to try Quantum in some of his stores. Quantum specializes in convenience and gas station stores. It seems that Quantum Services [...]

I’m Set Free

Well, I’ve not posted about my employer the multi-national inventory service, RGIS, LLC, for quite some time. What could I say except “same shit, different day” ?
Since pay has been “standardised” under the P4 “Count or Die” policy, I’ve come to realise that running stores efficiently and effectively does not benefit me. [...]
We’re RGIS and You Will Suck Again

Last week, I got an email from the RGIS corporate gods that included this tidbit of information:
On June 27, 2009 the Average Per Hour (APH) Standards will be raised in several of our accounts. More than half of our teams are already operating at levels that meet or exceed the “New” APH Standards, so raising [...]
Motor City Withdrawal

Well, we got back to Buffalo Tuesday night. The Lovely Lettuce and I really enjoyed our 6 day ‘oliday in the Motor City. Although, if one wants to be technical, our ‘oliday was Southfield, MI since that is where we slept. Perhaps our ‘oliday will inspire me to post about [...]

Our district has finally gotten around to distributing the March 2009 Team Member Handbook. In order to continue my employment with RGIS, I have to sign the “RGIS Team Member Handbook: Acknowledgement of Receipt” form. The Cliff Note Version: RGIS can do whatever they want and I can’t do a damn thing about [...]
The Top Gun Myth

Top Gun: Top Guns are our fastest and most experienced counters and are placed in areas such as checkout or areas that require advanced counting speed and accuracy. Top Guns are everything that RGIS stands for and are the “cream of the crop”. A Top Gun’s professionalism and skills represent the best we have to [...]
Money Doesn’t Talk, It Swears

Today, the thought crossed my mind that it really doesn’t matter if RGIS loses clients over the next several years. RGIS, LLC is owned by the Blackstone Group, a private equity and mergers and acquisitions company. If RGIS can demonstrate significantly better profitability for a couple of quarters, it becomes a much more attractive company [...]

Unhappy But Productive
There is not much joy and happiness at inventories since the rollout of the productivity pay in our district. It seems that most of my fellow employees are pissed off or scared or both. Most have taken “Count or Die” to heart. Many are actively looking for new employment. A few have just [...]
Gone, Daddy, Gone

It seems that not everyone in our district is pleased with getting their pay cut. A couple of 20 year veterans have quit. I also suspect that I’m running an inventory because the teamleader scheduled for it quit. He told me a couple of months that the next they cut his pay, he’s gone. Perhaps [...]

And then they changed what it was
Well, the shit has hit the fan at RGIS. Starting April 25, the new “productivity pay scale” comes into effect. Lots of long term employees (including me) are going to get significant pay cuts. I feel like Grandpa Simpson “I used to be hip and with [...]
