sam,
a few thoughts......
- what's your point. if your employer runs such a lousy business, then
let's get the name out there, and then most importantly back up your claims
with facts. If everything is on the up and up, I will personally thank you for
the warning and avoid the company.
- my guess is your employer is doing something right, otherwise new location
near you would still be an empty lot.
- if you do not like your job, quit and get another. If you were my employee
and i knew you had this type of attitude towards my company, i would hope
you would leave as your attitude would only lessen your performance.
- your employer owes you nothing. you owe your employer 40 hours a week
(or whatever the arrangement), then they in turn provide you with a paycheck.
best of luck.
keep us posted.

Nobody forces an employee to work somewhere they don't want to work. You are free to seek employment elsewhere and based on your comments I suggest that you do seek other employment.
Simply because other people are distressed at their employer does not justify perpetuation of the attitude. Corporations, whethjer perceived as good or bad, often spend a lot of money to try and keep employees happy. Sometimes these efforts work and sometimes they do not, as it sounds like in your case.
I am guessing you actually work for an outsourced support firm answering the phone on behalf of a client. As such you represent that client and to take the time to send people elsewhere is, in my opinion, disrespectful of your position.
If the client is such that you cannot reconsile your work, then please work for someone or some firm that you can feel good about. A dissatisfied employee, regardless of circumstance, is something employers do not approciate. Being unhappy with your job is like a desease. It will eventually spread to other areas of your life as well.
I am understanding of your Mom's opinion on this matter and I have been an employee, an employer, and have spent plenty of time in various levels of management. An unhappy employee is a negative resource for almost any company. Leaving seems to be in your best interest before you burn any brodges or get lumped together with a bucketload of other unhappy workers.
Sometimes employers do a housecleaning and turn over a high volume of personnel so I would not take comfort in your contention that they would not fire a lot of people at any one time.

Yes, we are outsourced. That said I am actually very happy where I work. I love helping people out in getting their PC issues fixed. I just would never shop at the retail store due to the many things I have heard about them.
BTW, I would NEVER tell a client "don't shop here, you can get it cheaper at store X." That would be a suicidal practice as all calls are monitored. As far as co-workers chatting, it's OK in my mind to tell them that instead of getting a product retail they can go to a store I know online and save a boatload.

Start looking to better your position elsewhere before you get sucked into the "this place sucks" mentality... CompTIA has some sort of job bank program for people in the IT industry.

Samuel,
Your comments about the "un-named" store and organization are out in cyberspace with your name associated to this thread, so in some ways, you could be committing employment suicide if one of your managers just happened to be a drag racing fan and happened across this Nitromater thread. Think about that for awhile. You can get away stating stuff as an anonymous poster like your other screen name SLD#### (can't remember the #'s) but on the new Nitromater, your name and city of residence is out there for anyone to see. You might want to think about some of this, and take the advice of some of the "older" guys on here who are disturbed by your attitude.
PS: I work in a similar type of job to you and I like what I do as well, but there are always things about a company that you won't like.

Personally, even if it was an outsourcing deal, and an employee was insulting my clients on a public forum, the employee would be looking for another job and there might be some burned bridges there.
The employer's clients are what provides people with the job they have. I'm nothing without my customers.
