| EvenBob Member since: Jul 18, 2010 Threads: 231 Posts: 6400 | The NJ megacasino opening in May will have a policy of making employees re-apply and have to be re-hired every 4 years. This is an atrocious policy and shows us what casinos really think about the people who work for them. This could be the industry standard everywhere very soon, its a way to keep the workers 'appealing' to the public. And people scoff when I call casinos the DarkSide..

| EvenBob Member since: Jul 18, 2010 Threads: 231 Posts: 6400 | "Marketed as a method of keeping its employees young and fresh, it is a means of getting rid of unsatisfactory employees with little liability, reducing annual wage increases customarily a part of the long-term employment process, and reducing payrolls in general. It is a bean-counter's solution to rising payroll costs and the need to really train and discipline employees." Its going to make casino jobs transient, and no longer careers. You could see this coming, it was inevitable.

Similar tactics are used in other industries. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

Its news to me. Which other industries make you reapply every 4 years? Its appalling. One casino owner to another: "It would be so much easier if we could just hit them over the head, steal their money, and throw their bodies in the creek." Al Swearengen, Deadwood |

I don't think he meant politics. One casino owner to another: "It would be so much easier if we could just hit them over the head, steal their money, and throw their bodies in the creek." Al Swearengen, Deadwood |

In what thread? I searched rehire, reapply, and other key words and found bupkis. One casino owner to another: "It would be so much easier if we could just hit them over the head, steal their money, and throw their bodies in the creek." Al Swearengen, Deadwood |

| sunrise089 Member since: Jul 12, 2010 Threads: 5 Posts: 174 | Boo hoo. Create value in your job, you'll be an asset. Tada! Most jobs don't do this because it's costly to implement, not because of any sense of charity (of course there are examples of other industries that do - anything using third party contractors, arts, sports, etc). What's really telling is that the casino thinks its worth the cost to do this. That says something to me about the number of bad apples employees in AC. |

| Triplell Member since: Aug 13, 2010 Threads: 6 Posts: 318 | Are they talking all employees or specific areas of employment. As far as I know, regardless of age or experience, dealers are all paid about the same, with a large portion of their wages coming from tips. I could see this effecting those with higher leveled positions. I agree with you, I wouldn't want to work for a company that makes you reapply for your job every 4 years, but then again, I would never work for a casino. |
