Nelson Peltz House of Horrors

Billionaire Nelson Peltz remains one of the most famous takeover artists in America: In recent years, the corporate raider (or "activist investor," as he prefers to be known) has battled for control of Wendy's, Heinz, and the candymaker Cadbury Schweppes. His hard-charging approach and tendency to ruffle feathers isn't just restricted to his professional life. Life inside Peltz's vast estate in Bedford is just as vicious, we hear, and the staff at the estate is subjected to such a dizzying amount of abuse, the Peltzes may be the worst family in America to work for.

The unfortunate thing is that this employer has been acting this way for years, according to my candidate contacts. Candidates should definitely do their homework and figure out what the staff history has been for the employers who they may be interviewing with. It's really all about mutual respect.

Unfortunately, these category of employers offer high pay to fill the roles and persons who need work don't really think about the working conditions. Sadly for the worker, these experiences can be scarring, and overall perhaps not worth the short term pay check- but maybe not.

  1. Good heavens! Urine drops and Easter morning… what a wicked combination… what a sticky wicket! If the EM at High Winds had only thought to ring up a qualified staff trainer instead, and provide their staff with the appropriate resources.

    No doubt the troops are suffering from insufficient equipment to keep bathrooms spiffy, resulting in their own morale swirling down the toilet. Method brand bathroom cleaner wipes http://www.methodhome.com/product.aspx?page=522 are available in a small flexible travel pack and fit smartly inside any morning coat or apron pocket, ready to make splatters of virtually any bodily fluid disappear during evening turn-down service or a quick noon-time freshening.

    The durable natural cellulose fibers are readily flushable, eliminating a plethora of buckets, spray bottles, and rags for this simple touch-up duty, and helping staff to exit from the premises as discreetly as Madame, et al, requires. The non-toxic formula most likely satisfies Bedford’s strict environmental waste disposal laws and can be handled quickly without a need for gloves. The gentle yet effective surfactants effectively address most durable bathroom surfaces with just one pass, eliminating any need for tedious 2nd, 3rd, and eek gads!, luck-inspired 4th cleanings.

    These pleasant eucalyptus-scented wipes would have complimented Easter lilies displayed on nearby countertops and, most importantly, may have helped staff to maintain a fresh disposition, thereby reducing any display of inconvenience and -- unfortunate for both career and morale of those affected -- another turn of the revolving door.

    Even our manor has its fair share of challenging opportunities, yet our secret to success has always been to insist on the right resources and training which allows our professional staff to perform as required.
