Dis-Chem

Has anybody else noticed the incredibly high staff turnover Dis-Chem had last year and currently? I have been a loyal customer of Dis-Chem's for the last 12 years, but no longer. I am appalled at the lack of care, consideration and basic "menslikheid" toward their staff. Contrary to all the marketing smses I receive stating how much Dis-Chem cares for people and their health, it is glaringly obvious from the treatment of their own staff that they do not care at all. Rands and cents is their only concern. Dis-Chem would do well to remember that their staff have friends and family. And yes, we talk. We see our loved ones smiles fading away with despair as they work harder, for less, under the strain of Covid-19. Not to mention the treatment received from management when a staff member has contracted Covid-19 whilst on duty and battling to recover afterwards....no compassion at all. Shame on you! Richard Branson has said: " Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress." And "I have always believed that the way you treat your employees is the way they will treat your customers, and that people flourish when they are praised." Treat your staff with respect and consideration - then I will believe you care about me, the customer, who is a stranger to you. Do not insult my intelligence with your faux expressions of caring in your marketing, emails and smses.
