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..

"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.

I thought this was already discussed here.
At any rate, it's not entirely "news" or confined to casinos.
Similar tactics are used in other industries.

Its news to me. Which other industries make
you reapply every 4 years? Its appalling.

In what thread? I searched rehire, reapply, and other key
words and found bupkis.

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.

And bad apples employers.
I wonder if they are going to have employees... take the matter of providing a severance package into their own hands. It happens, but it's more lucrative in a casino.

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.

Wow!!! This sounds like an excellent plan to get rid of federal employees.
Aside note, the reason that the US mail is going broke is because we are still paying for mail that was delivered 30 years ago. With all the pensions and benfits, it can only fail.

Oh Sure, the decision makers will keep only the best employees, not the best connected. LOL
