My mother Brenda xxxxx was an employee of 3 Day Blinds. She dedicated herself to working hard and servicing her customers over and above the call of duty. 3 Day Blinds has been cutting back over the last year at least and has proceeded to drive out the "unwanted" help. At first this started with them reducing my mom's weekly appointment volume and giving appointments to other Reps. I will not speculate as to why they were doing this. Some weeks, my mother was given literally 1 - 2 Appointments. Obviously her sales had dropped as a result of this and then they would proceed to "write her up" with diciplinary action. They would tell my mom (a woman in her 60's mind you) that she would need to do what all the other "young reps" were required to do and start going door to door and generating her own leads which she had never been required to do before. Due to my mom's health, she was unable to do this so they proceeded to take diciplinary action. My mother was at an end and contacted Human Resources to volunteer herself for a demotion to work "in-store" so that she would be able to do her job. Human Resources REFUSED to see her reaching out and replied to her last week by telling her that they would not take her request and that at the end of the month, unless her sales improved (remember they had stopped sending her the appointments) that she would be terminated in her position with the company. My mother has struggled for years making ends meet and dedicated her life to raising myself, my brother and my sister who is in honors at Loyola University. My mother did all this as a Manic Depressive and still managed to stay strong. This company helped to contribute to running my mother into the ground. She tried to find employment elsewhere but was pretty much told the same thing everytime..."off the record, we are looking for younger people with a little more energy to bring to the table." I reach out to anyone considering to buy from 3 Day Blinds, DONT. Who would want to buy products from such a cold, cruel and selfish group of people. Not to mention, they hire terrible installers, dont keep on their promises, miss-measure countless orders (I know this because I heard all about it from my mother when she would drive out of her way to fix what the so called "INSTALLERS" messed up. Go back to mom and pop operations and get the service you derserve. Don't buy from these companies who literally drive people to the ground. My mother is in the hospital at this moment on life support. She felt like there was nothing else she could do. She loved sales and she loved taking care of her customers. It is a shame what this company has done and continues to do. They cant run a business properly so they drive their employees out so that they can avoid having to pay un-employment! I will be going to California to be with my mother tomorrow. Me, my sister and my brother have to decided within 48 hours whether or not to let the machines keep my wonderful, kind, angelic mother alive. I hope you will look for your Blinds elsewhere and I welcome your comments.
With Regards,
Robert
