Here is an article about another successful retailer that is cutting hours and benefits for their employees. It is a sad trend.
Personally, I like the idea of having everyone only work 24 hours a week. That way, there would be very little unemployment and people could enjoy the elusive concept of work / life balance.
The only way to make it work, though, is to pay everyone at least $15 - $20 hourly and include benefits.
This is not an impossible concept. It would give everyone a secure base to live on and enough time to pursue their passions (money-making or not). It would be a small step toward a more equitable distribution of wealth in this country as shown in my earlier post.
