"to quit holding hard-working employees accountable for the lack of a consumer deciding that they are not going to pay their bills. Acknowledge that the employees that they have are appreciated and give an increase of pay seeing as how this is a multi-million dollar company they should make employees actually want to work there instead of quitting as soon as possible. the turn-over rate of employees with this company is horrible. give the employees more than 2 days out of a year off (sick-days)."
