My own three state-wide blood center has streamlined and down-sized, causing increased workloads on workers in out of town centers and resentments that hinder efficiency. Sad really, Roland D.

I do wonder if online forums like Glass Door or Yelp are beginning to make some bosses in bad work environments rethink their "management style."
