The reason that I am writing today about Follett Educational Services is that they have gotten away with treating their employees like sweatshop workers. The warehouse workers have repeatedly asked for airconditioning in the hot months and are still enclosed in a VERY HOT Warehouse during the summer months.
Management terminates associates instead of laying them off. As A matter of fact they let 25% of their sales force off. Just this year after John Witman (one of the many Vice Presidents of Follett) as well as Bob Mallo (President) repeatedly told their employees that there were not going to be any one leaving and that all the associates were doing great jobs.
Why is that recently seperated managers can openly flirt with female associates after repeatedly recieving many talks about this from a corrupt human resources department. I guess you only become lead mangaers if you put out for the Vice president. Why is it that daily associates are threatened that if they dont like the pay decreases they can get the *#? @ out then!!! Why is it that emplyees can have territories taken away from them and not be paid commision on sales that you made and are entitled too. Why is it that employees who puch in 5 minutes before their start time do not get paid. Why is that upper management can have catered meals on the companys expense. I think that the CEO of Follett should really examine what is happening behind security doors.
All the employees are unhappy because they are working for a company that does not care about their employees well being. You are told to call 60 customers a day and be on the phone for 205 minutes. If you do not make those numbers than you will be fired. You are told to shut up and take your seat if you are caught talking or streching.
Give me a break follett, I hope you can one day treat your employees fairly. I would hate to see how you treat your families. If you could treat those employees who make your so called success (FAT PAY CHECK) a reality.
I encourae all the Follett Employees to stand up for themselves and make it known that FOLLETT IS A HORRIBLE EMPLOYER!!!
