FACT THAT STATIONS DIDN'T HAVE ANY BUSINESS THIS COMPANY STARTED ELIMINATING JOBS WAY BEFORE THEIR SLOW
DOWN AND DID HIRE SEVERAL MINIORITYS
IN PLACE OF THE WORKERS SO YOU SHOULD
KEEP YOUR COMMENT TO YOURSELF. I GUESS
YOU EITHER HAVE A JOB WITH STATIONS AT
THIS TIME OR YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS COMPANY HAS DONE TO MANY OF IT'S
EMPLOYEES THEIRS NO LOALITY TO IT'S
EMPLOYEES. WHEN THEY OPENED RED ROCK
AND HAD ALL THOSE TRANSFERS DO YOU KNOW
THAT THE TRANSFERS WERE THE FIRST TO BE
LET GO HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK FOR A COMPANY FOR 14YRS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
YOU HAVE NO JOB. BUT BECAUSE IT IS A
CASINO AND THEY MAKE LAS VEGAS RUN THEY
GET AWAY WITH DOING WHAT THEY WANT.IT'S
TRUE WHAT THIS OTHER PERSON IS SAYING
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE MAKING
COMMENTS ABOUT STATION CASINO HAVE BEEN
FIRED FROM THEIR. AND WHAT ABOUT ALL
THE PEOPLE THAT GAVE THEIR ALL TO SEE
RED ROCK MAKE A SUCESSFUL OPENING PEOPLE WERE WORKING 13HRS A DAY SINCE
JAN OF 2006 WHERE WAS THE LOYALITY TO
THOSE EMPLOYEES. WHAT ABOUT THE ONES THAT INVESTED 15 OR MORE YRS IN THIS
COMPANY. THEY ELIMINATED ALL PART TIME
AND SEVERAL FULLTIME SO THEY COULD SAVE
MONEY YES WE ARE IN A SERIOUS DEPRESSION AT THIS TIME BUT LIKE I SAID
WHEN THEY STARTED ELIMINATING POSITIONS
BACK IN 2007 THEY WERE STILL DOING VERY
WELL THEY SAY THAT THE RICH WILL COLAPSE AND THE MEAK WILL SERVIVE ALTHOUGH IT SURE DOESN'T SEEM THAT WAY
I NEVER WISH HARM TO ANYBODY BUT WE ARE
HUMAN AND NO COMPANY SHOULD TREAT THEIR
EMPLOYEES LIKE STATION CASINO DOES.THEY
ALSO NEED TO FIND A NEW GM AT THEIR
RED ROCK PROPERTY THE WAY HE TREATED
SITUATIONS WITH EMPLOYEES HE MIGHT BE GOOD AT BUSINESS END OF IT BUT WITH
GENERAL SITUATIONS HE WASN'T.

I have personally talked to several
employees working at station property
I WAS TOLD ABOUT A FIRING THAT
ACCURED IN JULY OF 2007 AT ONE OF THEIR
PROPERTYS.THE EMPLOYEE TELLING ME ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS IN TEARS. SHE SAID THAT ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE LET GO
SHOULD OF NEVER HAPPENED THEY WERE TOLD
THEY COULD OBTAIN THE MERCHANDISE THEY
AQUIRED BY THEIR SUPERVISORS AND THIS HAD BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2006. SHE SAID
WHEN SHE READ ON THE BULLITIN BOARD THAT THEY WERE GOING PRIVATE. SHE NEW IT WASN'T GOING TO BE THE SAME SHE SAID YOU HAD TO SEE THESE EMPLOYEES FACES SHE SAID THEY ACTUALLY BECAME A
FAMILY. SHE SAID THE MANAGEMENT DIDN'T
EVEN BOTHER TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING THESE EMPLOYEES HAD TO SAY. THEY SAY THEY HAVE A SECOND CHANCE POLICY THEY
LIE. PEOPLE WHO HAD WORKED 56789YRS WERE TERMINATED AND THEN ON TOP OF IT
THERE PRIVACY WAS TOTALLY VIOLATED EVERYONE INCLUDING GUEST KNEW WHY THEY
WERE BEING FIRED. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
PRIVACY LAW? EXPECIALLY WHEN IT WASN'T
THESE EMPLOYEES FAULT. A MAN WHO WAS
FIRED WHO HAD WORKED FOR YEARS THEIR
DIED BECAUSE OF THE STRESS AND FALSE
ACUATIONS THEY MADE AGAINST HIM.EVEN
THE ASSISTANT GM ASKED EMPLOYEES WHERE
THEY GOT A CERTAIN THINGS BECAUSE SHE
WANTED ONE FOR HERSELF IF THIS WAS A
ISSUE WHY DIDN'T ANYONE SAY ANYTHING
WHY DIDNT SECURITY EVER QUESTION IT
EVERYONE WALKED PASSED THEM EVERYDAY.
THE EMPLOYEE SAID WAS SHE TRULY BELIEVED THAT THIS WAS A SETUP TO ELIMINATED EMPLOYEES BECAUSE OF THE
NOTICE ON THE BULLITIN BOARD THAT STATED IN JULY STATIONS PROPERTY WAS GOING TO SLOW DOWN AND THAT PEOPLE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE EXTRA TIME OFF. THEY MADE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAD
PERMINATE TIME OFF. SHE SAID SHE HATES
IT THEIR KNOW SHE SAID THEY HAVE THE
MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS FROM HELL

Casino mogul and Freedom's Watch backer Sheldon Adelson, who's being sued in Israel, takes the stand tomorrow, Ha'aretz's Yossi Melman reports. Among the allegations in this case and related law suits, Melman reports: Adelson helped the Chinese government derail Congressional human rights legislation that would have called for Beijing not to get the 2008 Olympic games. In exchange, the law suits allege, Adelson received Beijing's nod to open a casino in Chinese-controlled Macau. Various businessmen along the way claim that Adelson cut them out of the deals. Melman:

... Besides Moshe Hananel's suit, there are another four against Adelson for hundreds of millions of dollars that were submitted to American courts about the concession granted to companies he owns for the operation of a hotel and casino in Macau. The suits were filed a few years ago by Chinese and American businessmen and by a New York investment house and a Taiwan bank. All parties claim Adelson promised to compensate them for assistance they had given him to gain the Macau franchise. ...
"Adelson, his assistants and companies deny the claims," the paper reports.

paul wrote on May 13, 2008 03:40 PM: Good point waaaaa. But lets look at it another way. If customers don't see any loyalty FROM a business, they may not have any loyalty TO a business. Businesses seen as hostile and unfriendly may lose money. It's not as simple as you seem to think.

Waaaa! wrote on May 13, 2008 12:14 PM: Is any business supposed to have a duty to keep employees around when it doesn't have business to support them? Only disgruntled losers (or union bosses) think anyone owes them a great paying job anymore. World is tough, deal with it. You don't owe Stations any business and they don't owe anyone a job. If you don't like that arrangement, start your own business so you only can be fired by yourself.

homeless in Las Vegas wrote on May 13, 2008 10:48 AM: Station Casinos, along with many other gaming companies, has been combatting the slowdown at many of its properties through layoffs and job attrition.

At what price the almight dollar? How many employees have suffered at the Fertitas challenge to make their next billion? How much is enough? The Fertitas are already worth more than a billion dollars each and yet they continue to eliminate jobs, cheat their employees out of hard earned and much deserved benefits. At what point do the Fertitas stop making more then they will ever need and start taking care of their employees?

Steve Win wrote on May 13, 2008 08:54 AM: A huge loss in the quarter -I love it. I would love to see Ferttita's go down with the ship. That would be awesome.
