You should be concerned about the woes of all the employees on the recent hike in gas prices. The company has taken that issue sensitively upon speculation that it will not only increase the cost of operation but it will also increase the transportation costs of all our managers and employees.

In response to that challenge, the company has decided to make adjustments in our operating times to offset the operation costs. Please be informed that effective April 16, 2010, out stores time of operation will be an hour earlier and an hour less. All stores will open from 9:00 in the morning and close at 8:00 in the evening of Mondays through Saturdays. No any store will open on Sundays.

With such mentioned changes, all managers and full time employees will be required to work four ten-hour shift weekly. Part-time employees will be required to consolidate their weekly working hours into one, two, or three working days. For the meantime, no any stores will be closing and the plans of opening new stores will be places on hold.

The organization foresees that the changes will help in reduction of fuel costs in operation. All managers and employees are also believed to benefit from the changes, as an hour earlier means less crowded traffic. The working days adjustment will trim down the number of days of driving to the number so the organization sees that helpful for all as it will not only save gas but will provide more opportunities for everyone to have more time for their families.

Please take note of the time adjustment and please be guided with the working hour's adjustment. Our employees are highly valued in our organization and we are always open for any suggestion. The organization is looking forward for your full support and cooperation. Please be guided accordingly. Thank you very much.
