  • S2E8: What is the health report of your heart?

    S2E8: What is the health report of your heart?
    Apr 21 2023
    The big news of the grocery retail industry this year is the proposed merger between the supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons. Will this be a good merger?? This will create a monopoly?? It sure will! How will this affect the consumer and the associates alike? Kroger CEO says, " Our associates are the heart of absolutely everything we do." Does this include the hourly associates too?? or just the corporate ones? I guess the head and the heart are having a disconnect, huh? How can the heart be healthy when it doesn't get its 'vitamins' aka core values from its head? Thanks so much for listening! Appreciate you!

Insubordination in the workplace is ubiquitous. The management sets the tone for all the employees, but what crosses the line of being considered INSUBORDINATE? 

    Thanks for listening!!!!
