Uline has a reputation for having a high turn-over rate. The root cause of this problem is Dick and Liz Uihlein are nutjobs and the work environment is like stepping into a time machine. However they don’t see it that way, instead they want to force people to be stuck with a bad job because health insurance is tied to the workplace. Also just to give you an idea of how out of touch she is, she blamed the COVID-19 stimulus checks in 2025. It’s been so long ago since anyone received them.
In every Uline catalog Liz puts her dumb opinions in it. They also donated over $100 million to Republicans and Trump in 2024. That’s why I urge everyone to Refuse Uline and pick a better alternative if you use them. This website: https://refuseuline.com/ has a long list of alternatives to Uline.
I’ve found a company where the leadership genuinly respect their employees, and trust them enough that if someone needs a day off to go to the doctor, or needs to work from home because their car is in the shop, there’s simply no question about it. If someone is sick, then they’re sick until they’re no longer sick and show up to work again.
This means I am more than happy to help my boss with an urgent issue until 5 pm on a friday if it’s needed, because I know he values it, and I know I’m not getting any complaints if I have to leave at 12 pm the next friday to go to the dentist.
If leaders cared about their workers, their workers would care about their jobs and actually do more than the bare minimum, because if you give some, you get some.
