Feel free to contact Zales if you'd like to register your disappointment with their actions-- POLITELY, of course.

the link doesnt work for me, theres one to many http:// in it

I googled it though, and found this link also article here

which teaches us boys and girls that when the company you have worked hard for fucks you over, the media is your best friend

amazing how fast the corp slime balls turned their attitudes around when they heard that the public would hear about it

here is Zales corp info http://www.zalecorp.com/contact.aspx

and i found this gem:

Update: twophrasebark emailed us a link to the Zales online Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which we really wish the regional manager had bothered to read:


Take a Common Sense Test
A good test for judging the employee's conduct under
Zale's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is:

If you would be embarrassed for your supervisor or co-workers to read about your conduct on the front page of tomorrow morning's newspaper or if the conduct is potentially harmful to the company…

Don't Do It

*sniff sniff* I smell a lawsuit.

The US does have the "family medical leave act" **AND** the "Americans with disabilities act".

I liked Zales and used to shop there, after this I will no longer shop there (even though I'm sure all companies have done things this disgraceful, or even worse).

Oops. Sorry about the broken link.

I smell a lawsuit.....and a boycott....and LOTS of bad publicity for Zales.


Great idea to fire your top earner in the middle of a recession, huh?
