A Different Kind of Pyramid Scheme
My job is a pyramid scheme. It may not look like one from the outside, but on the inside, it does. There’s one guy at the top, a boss or whatever, then there’s like four or five people directly under him, whose main job is to do most of the managerial type work, then below that, there’s more customer service people than the managerial people, and then below that there are cashiers and baggers, whose numbers outlive the rest of the entire store. There are some side jobs, like stocking and meat and dairy departments, but those are also mini pyramid schemes on a much smaller scale. But here’s how they run. The people at the top make the most money and it trickles down to the lowest job, which is actually the most physically demanding, and most likelly the person that doest he most work, but he makes much less than the people at the top who have it pretty good because they don’t have to do hardly any work. So therein lies the problem. People really need to stop having jobs like this where everyone gets taken advantage of except the person at the top. That person stands for everything I hate. Be back in a couple of days, but just thought I’d point this out.
