    a 15 cent raise after a year??? My boss gave me a great review. I work nights and I don't sick out. Been there a year and no personal days off. I can't even afford a new pair of work pants. Our shirts cost fifteen dollars a piece. Trying to find another job. I am a hard worker I need to go somewhere else

    I'm glad to read that at least the employees are happy with Hilton, as their customers might be less satisfied with the company's service! Each week I spend 2 to 3 nights in the same Hilton already for 18 months, and each week there's an issue in the hotel, from no clean room, to no wireless, to plain rude service at the front desk to enormous waiting time for check-in. Maybe Hilton Management have a look how customer satisfaction rates and balance it with employee satisfaction!

    The companies who move first to hirer new workers will have the best selection of the best trained and the cream of the crop to draft from and will get them at a lower wage. Once the mass of companies start to hirer, the price of the wages will turn from low to higher and the last companies to come to the party will miss out on the best workers at the lowest price. Most companies are playing politics with the hiring decision and not really trying to do what is best for the company, and they will miss the boat when the smart companies hirer the best workers first and sprints ahead of the competition.

    Ceo of an average major corporation in America now knocks down 450 times the average wage of workers in their companies. Just 30 years ago this number was 30 times. Greed has no bounds. It has come time for the WORKERS to start the next revolution in this greedy USA. I dont know how, but it must begin, Or we all will be in line with the latinos and the lazy no goods looking for food and shelter and medical care while the rich and powerful live in the megamansions that they built off the backs of the working class Americans.

      Jerry, you are in the wrong the country. The place you want to be is Cuba. Those principles are working well there.

      Here's how you can start a real "revolution". Make your own job, set your own pay, and make the #$%$ thing go.

    The solution to happiness in the workplace is to find your passion so that you'll never feel like working at all. Most employees are working for the money. And not really interested in their jobs. A great alternative is to have your own small business.

      Shhhhhhhh!
    • A Yahoo! User 4 months ago
      Jojor2k, you are a God #$%$ idiot. How is someone going to open a small business with no money? You gotta have money to make money, dummy. Even all those rags to riches story always had some silent benefactor who was the real reason why someone from rags went to riches.
    • A Yahoo! User 4 months ago
      Not true-you dont need money right away, you need belief and passion for you craft even if it starts as part time. I am starting my marketing consulting business out of my home and I have no clients right now just good ideas. Once I sell one I will then open a seperate checking account and get my fictious name license(cost under 100) and be on my way. Once I get bigger I will incorporate. You see you must start where you are and grow. I have a book I am working on also and I will send it to some to companies but it no deal I can self publish. I am now 50 years old and Jojor2k is sooooooo right.DO something you are passionate about as a small business-I knew this all the time in my early years but was so scared and did not believe in myself and listened to what others though. Bad economy or not my future looks bright.

    Read recently that the head of Wells Fargo now only makes 70,000 dollars a DAY. But the republicans in congress say he should not pay more in taxes. Look at this number fellow Americans, Thats a DAY..Most americans will work a year and a half for his ONE FRICKIN DAYS PAY, And they are actually working producing things while this cat sits on his lazy greedy #$%$ This is just 1 example america, There are millions of these cats on the dole/.

      Humm, interesting! I used to work for the Koch Brothers. Each one of them, in addition to their ownership wealth, are on the payroll for $1,000,000 per day. That is approx $300,000,000 per year! Think about that for a while
    • Rick 4 months ago
      How is it that people with business acumen who have developed their skills to run giant companies, who take the big risks in decision making, and are paid well for it are now "on the dole"? Put yourself in the shoes of that guy or anyone making more money than you who is "no paying their fair share". The guy beneath you thinks you are making too much money and have it cushy too. Stop the jealousy and make your own fortune.
    • A Yahoo! User 4 months ago
      $70,000 a day is GRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT in terms of salary.
  • JoAnn  •  Oklahoma City, Oklahoma  •  4 months ago
    the company I work for USED to be a fun place to be. BUT gets bigger and bigger nore rules and regulations. NO incentives to do good job No pant on back job well done. Management doesn't even know who you are. YOU ARE A NUMBER BIG DOGS DON'T CARE THAT LITTLE GUYS THAT MADE COMPANY ARE STARVING WITH THEIR 40 CENTS A YEAR RAISE AND THAT IS "IFFY" WHILE THEY DRIVE NEW CARS, EAT STEAKS AND HAVE PRIVATE JETS, WHILE LITTLW GUYS MAKE TOO MUCH FOR ASSISTANCE BUT NOT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY. THAT IS WHY MOST HAVE TO HAVE A 2ND JOB JUST TO BE ABLE TO EAT, THEN STILL WITH THE GOVERNMENTS WISDOM STILL HAVE TO PAY IN TO EITHER STATE OR BOTH BECAUSE OF THE 2ND JOB. INSANE YES !!!!

    the happiest companies to work is the company where you get along with your co-workers.
  • over here in this line  •  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania  •  4 months ago
    how about a survey from employees at big corporations. Where the CEOs coin in on
    the mega millions yearly payoff, and the office manager counts the rubber bands and pens at the end of the day, counts your P breaks, and deducts points off your employee records.
  • Steve  •  4 months ago
    The whole system is going to fall apart. Like this: Companies want a profit, want it to increase. Easiest way is to reduce labor costs. Therefore, workers salaries/benefits are cut. Problem is the workers ARE the customers. So, less sales because workers have less money = less profits for company. Company tries to fix this by REDUCING workers salaries/benefits further. And the cycle starts again. This IS American capitalism. The net result is to drive the middle class into the ranks of the working poor. This process will destroy this counrty simple because America is BASED on a strong, large middle class. Want to know why our government has problems with deficits, want to know why our companies can't compete? Now you know.
