A great exercise in communication past few days, are distributed in shops, leaflets and posters made by management. Great tracts beautifully designed with an efficient layout and catchy slogans. All sent in large numbers to officers of shops responsible for distributing, closet and explain to all employees, like little soldiers in the service of propaganda of high magnitude.
Leaflets that are catchy in fact, that talk about many things, without explaining anything. Today the management realizes that our actions begin to grow, as our means of communication are effective, that our explanations are beginning to react employees and customers, and are now trying to deny by any means the "misinformation" that we represent to them.
Thus, there is a mea - culpa on profit- Fnac Paris, miscalculated, and it projects a future that will be a real incentive 14th month, it promised, vowed *** *
**** to objectives achieved, which means that ultimately, it will supposedly a 14th month, but potentially a 14th day.
Actually, this does not change much, because every year we are promised a wonderful incentive for the year Next ...
Reading these leaflets and slogans worthy of such advertisements for laundry, one gets the impression that we want to sell you something: we want you to swallow anything.
So to celebrate, Denis Olivennes has courageously presented in person in 4 major Fnac Paris, yesterday and today, accompanied by Mr. Bernard Lemaire and Yvan Michel: Ternes Forum Montparnasse and Chatelêt . Every time before a very large crowd of employees.
For once, moreover, all employees were encouraged to attend this " AG" (and paid too!). Unbelievable.
Previously, you could have on " intrafnac " a foretaste of the meeting by viewing the message of peace CEO of FNAC , facing the camera. Denis Olivennes
has the merit to say to calm the game, and explain the situation. Each debate in Fnac Paris has begun, in the calm and clarity. Then moved blur, ignorance, avoidance, and finally the irritation and in some cases anger.
Explanations:
Our CEO clearly explains that there will be no layoffs, it will ensure that each reclassification goes well, it is socially necessary with respect to the situation of the disc and Modernization back office.
He was shocked at the misinformation and he reads it, and insists on the fact that the Fnac not lose its values, he is strongly attached. He assures us that the new variable will not change our behavior, but instead we fairer remuneration.
But when it comes to the face of its contradictions, and give clear answers, unfortunately, Denis Olivennes there is more.
Thus, several issues remained pending.
If Denis Olivennes insists that nobody will be fired, there will be 100% for reclassification, we interviewed several times.
Why invoke the fall of the disc to justify the reclassification of record stores, but do nothing contrary to increase the staff of the departments technical products, in addition to activity? Indeed, only the positions "vacant" shall be frozen and reserved for stores and employees back office . No jobs will be created in the departments who nevertheless face of pressure and customer turnover, and are often understaffed chronic. Reclassify employees to positions "vacant", this amounts to permanently delete posts.
other hand, nobody has any illusions about the proposed positions that often have no relation to the back office or disc, and which will precipitate a lot of "reclassified" in situations of failure. We have already now and testimonies and examples of sellers who have failed, in abandoned fields their control absolutely not. In reality, customization and support have until now been virtually nil .
Then Denis Olivennes insisted on independent vendors, and minimized the impact of the VIM . Obviously, our CEO minimizes its impact in the way we work, but maximizes its impact on our payroll. In reality, we have demonstrated, VIM is a variable that encourages ridiculous to try to work more not less money, nuance.
One of his arguments is that only this variable represents that 10% of our earnings far more cons from our competitors.
And that's what we denounce . In doing so, we ensure that vendors compete with each other, without giving them more effectively. The cake and eat it too. The aggressive attitude of a commissioned salesman, without paying more.
Similarly when Denis Olivennes highlights the lack of a threshold or ceiling on this variable is cleverly playing with words. For indeed, in theory, there is no ceiling! In practice, the ceiling is you, your abilities, and the number of customers and invoices achievable per day. Still, the percentage of proposed commissions are absolutely ridiculous and that "no ceiling" does not change anything ... In fact, the ceiling, these are the percentages themselves, which are ridiculously low.
For Denis Olivennes , this commission is in no way a Guelte, and continues to encourage the values of independent sellers (of course, it pleases our customers). Still, sales plans, objectives associated with the VIM is a Guelte. A Guelte interesting for him as we fight to sell to customers the sales plan, not interesting for us, since we do not yield nothing more than good VME.
Finally, Denis Olivennes advocated the values of dialogue and consultation with social partners by relying on people who are just known to push through their proposals during the proceedings, and edit account reviews negotiations even before they occurred. What has not failed to react our union representatives.
Faced with these contradictions arise, the attitude was during these debates always been the same : we move on, we return to another point better controlled, avoided . And in the end it ends up in some irritation on the part of all employees. Obviously, when the bold communication operation turns into a plebiscite and effective argument for a strike in the eyes of all store employees, officers fleeing.
Denis Olivennes nevertheless had the merit, before leaving, to remind us that the right to strike is inalienable. Thank you. Most executives have forgotten these days, it was good to remind them .
We are disappointed because we wanted answers, and discussion. We were ready to hear, listen carefully the other side of the story, understand the needs of modernization, to accept the reasons given by our management. Now we have heard nothing but false notes. And still the same contempt. The only positive point is that this attitude gives us reason to escape the eyes and the knowledge of hundreds of employees present at AG.
In our view, when two parties make a sound alternative voice, is to determine which of these parties avoids the debate. Which denounced the misinformation without clearly argue his views. Which attempts to force through his ideas and to intimidate the most impressionable. We
independent, and we love our business. We persist and are strengthened in our efforts to share our interviews with our leaders. We encourage you to mobilize tomorrow Friday, May 4, to defend our working conditions, pay and our values Fnac, essential to its success. Essential to our success.
