Conditions for employees of the Keddie supermarket
Brown jersey suits with velvet collars, which are worn with a cream blouse and which represent the store's uniforms, are given to all female staff free of charge once every year and a half. As for men, they can buy the right dark suits and white shirts at cost, so they always look very elegant.
There is a ten—minute break every morning when the staff can have a cup of coffee, and in the afternoon there is a tea break of the same length, not counting the one-hour lunch break. The company does not skimp on vacations either. After working for Caddy for a year, you have the right to take a week off in the spring and two weeks in the summer (fully paid, of course). Senior employees receive an additional week's leave in the fall.
Employees elect 15 representatives to the council for the improvement of cultural and living conditions of employees, which meets monthly to discuss issues of mutual interest and brings its decisions to the attention of Joan Blankensey, who transmits them to the managers. The "purchasers" who head the staff of each department—the people responsible for purchasing the product range —have their own board.
And in terms of entertainment, the store has a club for employees, which deals with events such as dancing and contests, and a club for young people who prefer more noisy entertainment — trendy records and car rallies — to traditional dancing. It might be worth mentioning here that only young people have recently raised 430 rubles for charitable purposes.
For the most elderly employees, measures are provided to organize a pension fund, which helps them get a decent pension in addition to the state pension, to which everyone is entitled. Some, of course, do not recognize retirement from work due to old age. Such people include, for example, a cleaning lady who started working at Caddy's in 1919 and still stubbornly continues to come every day and diligently slaps around the store with a broom in her hands. This year marks the 50th anniversary of her work experience, and it's time for Keddie to think about how to celebrate this date. As I learned from the store's newsletter and especially from the annual review, the Caddy Review, which contains articles and is edited by the company's employees, the store has created conditions for the support staff — cleaners, electricians, locksmiths, printers, carpenters and clerks — to feel like members of the Caddy staff.
At the head of the team is the gentle and benevolent, but in some ways very old-fashioned David Keddie, a lawyer by training and a trader to the core by vocation. Nowadays it is not often possible to find an enterprise of such a large size, which would be in the hands of one family. But that's not what David Keddie is worried about. The day I met him, he was in a state of great excitement because his wife was expecting their fourth child at any minute at his farm near Southend. They already had five-year-old Nicola, three-year-old Joanna and Anna, who is only one year old. He wished there was a boy now who would show interest in the company and would not let the Caddy name stop.
I couldn't resist calling a week after my visit to find out who was born. Fortune does not always favor those who chase her: Caddy has another daughter. But who knows, maybe in 20-30 years one of Caddy's daughters, under her maiden name or her husband's last name, will be able to successfully continue the family tradition and follow in her father's footsteps.
