Goodwill Industries
Nashville Tennessee , I saw Ms. Cheap in the Tennessean talking about being cheap. Her article was about shopping the Goodwill Outlet. There's no doubt about the good will that Goodwill Industries does for the community. Several years ago , I did some work for Goodwill , thinking like so many others , that I was helping others. Here's a short list of what I learned.
There are 2 types of employees at Goodwill - management and monkeys.
Goodwill has employees with 15 loyal years of service and they still make $5.45 an hour.
Their manager , Mike , would rather raise hell with the employees , than spend time with his wife. It's amusing to him , everytime he pisses on someone.
Goodwill is a family affair. The pay is " Good " too , just look at their cars.
Vanderbilt Civil Engineers designed their new building and they can't fix the leaky roof and the loading docks are a well designed Greek Tragedy.
Goodwill could do things better , butt why , afterall , that would cost money. Buying a new car every year has priority , and there's those pay raises to consider. Meanwhile , employees don't get pay raises.
When Goodwill accidentally hires someone with brains , management gets rid of them , immediately !
Goodwill has broken many commercial vehicle laws. Sometimes , there are fines up to 4,000$ dollars. They always get off without paying. ( why do they bother to write them )
The really nice point about Goodwill - you can unload your unused stuff lying around and get a tax break for turning it in. They don't take everything , so call ahead before dragging it over.
