Abstract
I worked as a manger for a company named the Cracker box LLC, for 3 years and then we were bought out by a Texas company and then renamed it the Corner store. The cracker box was a family owned store, where as almost all decisions were made by us managers of each store. When we were bought out and changed by the Texas company it was an actual corporation, so you can imagine the changes that were made, and this is what the discussion and argument will be in this essay.
The Corner Store Flaw
When I became manager of the cracker box after being the assistant manager for a year, I already knew the formalities of my position very well. Free will was never an issue, we were allowed to make almost all decisions for our stores by ourselves. As long as our daily paperwork and gas readings matched up as well as our lottery we were left alone by whom we called the “big boss”. Also such as who we hired and whom we fired, writes ups, promotions basically like I stated mostly all decisions.
Then came the switch over, a complete switch forty- five days straight working not one person could miss one of those days. They came in and completely changed everything upside down and inside out. Our computer systems, ordering processes, the inside of the store setup, and even the outside of the store was completely repainted and color changed. Then everything was in place and the classes begun which started the discussion’s and led to the arguments.
Our free-will was stripped, our decision making abilities most all of them were obsolete, and the biggest issue arose of the fact that we could not hire whom we wanted nor could we fire let alone write up an employee without prior authorization. This is how are free-will was compromised, and in the end my decision and eventually everyone’s decision actually only one manager my sister in law was left standing from the original crew of 28 stores. So there was nothing resolved, because no matter how hard we fought or how many proposal of compromise’s we tried to speak and show the corporate office they were not changing a thing. This was how we tried to resolve our differences but as I have written none of ideas worked. Should we or I have just followed the rules, in this situation I say no, and only because they were not willing to comprise at all on their end.
