[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 500221, member: 9240"] Easy to say when you're not looking for work. No, they're not chained. But it's possible to make you feel like you might as well be. I'd love to say more, but am currently not at liberty. Nothing said in the article surprises me in any way whatsoever. This is an old, "family" run retail that's grown leaps and bounds in the internet age still being run by the same "family" as if it were the old retail store. Same deal with the other big camera retailers from the area. You're talking businesses that will walk out of the Photoplus Show in NYC on Friday afternoon and be absent all day on Saturdays because of religious observances. No paid time off other than religious holidays (those 17 paid days are predetermined - paid vacation is not an immediate benefit) when even their websites take a break from operating normally. It's tough to change an embedded culture when you're not part of it. [/QUOTE]
