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 [...]

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 [...]

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure to run a small inventory at the local Nichiren Buddhist Community Center bookstore in Buffalo. It was the most pleasant inventory I’ve ever experienced. The co-managers and others assisting with the inventory were perhaps the most well-adjusted (dare I say happy??) people I’ve [...]
Broken Things

In another century (1999), I was driving home late at night (actually more like early in the morning, the bars were probably closed) from some fucked-up RGIS inventory (if memory serves, I was running it and it didn’t go well) and I heard a song that made me pull over and listen. [...]
Hours Worse Than RGIS!!!!!
Posted in & Everything, life, tagged DDSO, RGIS on October 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Egads!!! I always thought that the hours I work at RGIS were some of the crappiest outside of job like crab fishing a la the Deadliest Catch. But the Lovely Lettuce has discovered hours worse than mine at the Western New York Developmental Disabilities Service Office(DDSO).
If I understand [...]
