Which is far too often . Staff turnover , lack of cleanliness ( I’m sure that will change ! ) and overcrowded aisles that are so close together make it a nightmare to shop in .

Way back at their inception, they were suppose to have a limited lifespan, whereupon the owners became personally liable again.</p> <p>I feel very vague about how labour unions in the US became so weakened. I see all the recent things, yes, but what happened to my dad’s union? That was back in the late 80s. I suppose I should just ask my mom, an economist. Another side comment... when I was working multinationals, so so interesting to see the same company accommodate European labour law, which is so much stronger, and leave the American-side to go hang... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essay-by-former-sephora-employee#post-2115010 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 04:49:32 +0000 taylor 2115010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The working poor of this country have always been overlooked. &nbsp; They make too much to qualify for help, &nbsp;but not enough for basic needs.It’s really a crime. &nbsp;Single Moms who must chose between food and rent , Families who live in filthy hotels, or worse yet in cars...with children. &nbsp;<div>I agree with Shevia...so much needs to be fixed in this world. &nbsp;It’s been going on for decades and decades.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essay-by-former-sephora-employee#post-2115008 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 04:07:38 +0000 Anonymous 2115008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not surprised either. I volunteered at a holiday “store”. That mostly served the working poor And recent immigrants. These people work at least three part-time jobs and have no benefits. Many worked at big stores like Walmart and need help, during the holidays to get gifts and special foods. If a family member needs medical help they may end up being homeless. Some people think these people are lazy. That is so not true! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essay-by-former-sephora-employee#post-2114993 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 03:31:00 +0000 Jaime 2114993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deleting political rant.

I also know that some unions have overreached, even to the point of corruption. However, many corporations are exceptionally corrupt. Nobody talks about getting rid of them, though.<br /> In my experience, most people who criticize the labor movement (who did bring us the weekend, by the way) might not understand how and why it’s good for people who work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essay-by-former-sephora-employee#post-2114982 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 01:18:44 +0000 rachylou 2114982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dad was a member of a retail clerks union. And I remember it’s end but not how that came to be.</p> <p>The sad thing is, when I was a grocery cashier, I remember the local trying to unionise our store... but they were thugs who couldn’t negotiate better than minimum wage and wanted a lot in automatic dues... so much that the part time people would not have been able to afford working for our store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essay-by-former-sephora-employee#post-2114980 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 00:31:43 +0000 catherine 2114980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a surprise. When I was in college in the early 1970s, I worked retail. I was a member of the Retail Clerk’s Union. Even as a part time college student, I made a decent wage, had a schedule at least one month ahead of time, and had a guaranteed number of hours each week. This is what America lost when organized labor was flushed down the toilet. It’s a shame, really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essay-by-former-sephora-employee#post-2114945 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 19:18:17 +0000 rachylou 2114945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is the way everyone does it in this country across the board. I’ve told y’all my story about being a bad contractor? I was sent to a site where it turned out everyone in the fab went to a church run by the same order of nuns back home (I got a tour of the convent which was cool). Well, my client contact, this engineer gave a little soapbox at dinner about how women should stay at home. He and his wife managed it financially, etc. etc. I totally snapped and upbraided him, my customer. I asked him how many of his workers in the fab he ran got full-time hours and thus benefits? Yeah, he eventually left that company and came to work at mine. But of course that’s a personal gesture that doesn’t actually help anybody. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essay-by-former-sephora-employee#post-2114943 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 18:53:22 +0000 JAileen 2114943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div></div><div>Sephora didn’t sound like a very honest company to work for, even before the pandemic:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/18/opinion/sephora-layoffs-coronavirus.html?referringSource=articleShare">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/0.....e=articleS</a><br /></div> </p>
