To open or not to open

on Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Here's the thing. The employees (of the shop that I am handling) asked for a store closure today. I told them to write a letter for their request. They wrote, faxed, made follow-up calls. Then yesterday they told me that their request was approved (good for them, kami kasi sa office hindi declared na early holiday today). I saw the paper with the "OK" note with it plus the signature of the one who approved. It's settled then, closed for the day. Last night I received a text message from the manager telling me that the management was asking them to open the store today "kahit hanggang 4pm". What???! Why is this sudden change of mind? Kasi ba dahil hindi kami early holiday kaya they wanted to have this pattern also sa store? I wonder why. I let them be.
Have a meaningful holy week everyone!

i learned from a businessman friend, that in business, holidays don't matter. owners count the opportunity loss for store closure.

as an employee, i may approve the closure. but as business owner, i may not. siguro skeletal force lang.
