The problem is, his craft isn't "quality film making" his craft is "making buttloads of money for studios."

What's wrong with making bank? T1-2 are legendary status, Titanics practical effects are amazing for its day (actual setbuilding?!) and then again in the CGI arena with Avatar.

But not one of them is actually a good story. :p

Are we really looking for a compelling story in action movies? That's Cameron's genre afterall. I praised his practical work in his films (behind the scenes on all his films are a good watch) and his ability to deliver on what he's good at. Blockbusters.

Right, let's give full time work to workers during times that there is only a need for temporary additional help (like holidays and such).

If you ever were to run a business, I would guarantee that you would be bankrupt within a year.
Tells what you know, they run these places with part time employees year round, not just in the holiday season, well except for January, nobody gets hours in January.

But I wouldn't want to run a retail chain, I have standards.

Shhh, we can't talk about companies who take pride in their workers and don't treat them like total ***, it disrupts the illusion that you have to treat people like ***to turn a profit.

Yeah, you obviously did not read the source material I gave.

You make it sound like everyone is part time when they work for a dead end job like retail sales.

Yes, a growing number of people's hours have been cut, but that doesn't mean that everyone is in the same boat. You are throwing every single business in the same bucket in your hatred because you only have a slim focus on what you want to see.

Trust me, I'd love to watch the ME do it's own thing since I think that Israel can handle itself and the region should learn to handle its own jihadi idiots rather than play sectarian three card monty but we know that ain't happening.

Right now a whole staff of well paid spinsters are justifying our ground invasion against the ISIS. Prepare for another 10-15 years of war gents.

This time against Al Qaeda+1

Individual stores, most likely.

But I guess since we are branding everything in a group based on a few bad people, then humanity is ***and we must all kill ourselves because somebody murdered somebody today.

It's not just individual stores - it's basically the same thing across all of Canada.

They also make employees, and potential employees jump through hurdles and mazes of red tape just to be considered for a promotion/job application, instead of basing it on good work, or applicable credentials on a resume.

What "source material" ?

I'm well aware that not everyone is part time in retail work, but the trend that has been in place is that the full time positions are shrinking, part time are increasing, no benefits, no pride, no informed employees, no customer service.

At this point they should automate it and at least drop the guise that they give a ***about anything but profits.

The majority of businesses are throwing themselves in that bucket, not I. That is not my perception, that is reality.

I know several people who work at the local one, they all love it, to be fair two of them are in the automotive section and have been for years.

Want me to hold your hand while you read it? It might be a little too advanced for you though.

Yeah, you didn't post that before. Was looking at replies to me.

As to the second part: yes.

edit: I'm not taking the time to dig through that whole thing, I'm sure it includes corporate employees in that count, in which case, of course.

Oh, I know people who love working there too, but they still have their gripes about it.

They get steep discounts on products that are already at wholesale prices, but many of them have gone without a break for 12 hour shifts, because management is too busy sitting on their *** to take over for 15 minutes at a register.
