Businesses exist to make money. If they could replace you with a cheaper robot they would, no hesitation.

Thank god the government stepped in because they would find poor saps and pay lowest possible wages while working fools to death.

Literally, they made children 12 and under work for dirt.

In Nazi Germany if any company was found guilty of disrespecting or mistreating its employees the owners would simply be removed from their positions and their business given to someone else.

It was against the law for an employer to treat workers like **** just because he owned the business.

Infantile comment. Do you think it is better for a business to treat their employees well, so they are happy and stay, or to treat them like dirt for nothing? Government does nothing except waste things.

On the other side of the argument most people I've worked with and for were massive idiots that didn't belong there in the first place.
The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours in a day.

That's why grandma's apple pie rocks and yours sucks.

Wasn't actually the government that protected those rights or got them for you, it was the unions dude. People went on strike.

Srsly the corporations OWN the government.

Because caring about employees would lead to address the whole pay stagnation issue with means = less profit.

We gotta get 1 trillion market cap buddy, and we ain't doing that unless we got warehouses all over the world with slave labor running it.

In white collar jobs at least, my biggest gripe is fking facetime.

My team could legit take a 2 hour lunch, but still be finished working by 3. Good thing is, my manager is more lenient this time.

Hazing culture in some companies need to stop.

in my old job:

-brb boss says "hey please update these marketing materials and excel models for the very important pitch, need done and sent by morning, don't spend all night tho tnx"
-brb work takes all night
-brb talk to my senior coworker about how this pitch must be so important
-brb send this 60+ powerpoint to boss in the morning, he replies "looks good" 5 minutes later LOL
-senior says "no, he's taking a vacation today, he does this sometimes"

lot of people who got laid off at my company recently, some who had been with the company for 15 - 20 years, got good retirement packages. I guess it depends on where you work / the industry you work in. oil and gas usually gives good packages and early retirement
You guys, I'm seriously

Even at amazon, they fully admit it's cheaper to hire young people, burn the chit out of them, and then hire another round of young people every 4-6 years. They have no interest in long term development and retention because it costs more.
This guy nailed it IMO.

I came in to post something similar.

that's the problem with unions and other bull****. doesn't ****ing work. at the places where i was management and could fire whoever and how many i wanted on the spot, we used temp workers, didn't like one, could get another the next day. and it works so much better than normal employees or union bull****. but given the right supervisor, i was the supervisor and good at my job so... lol. and once the temp employee proved him, i can tell right away because i've worked with over 200 temps, he gets hired.
There is only one Hell: the one we live in now.

Rather than a theoretical question, we can actually look at corporate practices past and present.

Sweatshops exists.

Corporations since the beginning of the industrial revolution, have no problem with child labour.. Rather than pay the adults enough to take care of a family, they want to employee children...

https://www.ethicaltrade.org/issues/child-labour

Buildings that collapse - making products for corporations - in developing countries that kill people, because the corporations didn't care about regularly inspecting buildings and keeping them up to code.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...arment-factory

Corporations working their employees literally to the point of a mental breakdown and suicide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn_suicides

Without regulation corporations historically have been fine with not providing employees with; low pay, regular breaks, long hours, bitter job references - effectively blacklisting an employee - unsafe working conditions, etc.

The Libertarian theory is that corporations given free reign will treat their employees well because it's in their economic interest, however reality - as we can see in various sweatshops around the world, where the state doesn't regulate employee conditions - shows that corporations will treat their employees as bad as they can get away with.

I have no idea why anti-regulation people ignore the decades upon decades of historical evidence, showing that corporations will treat employees like crap if they can get away with it.




I highly, highly recommend watching this documentary...

If I run a corporation I wouldn't give a **** about employers to srs. My goal is to make as much money as possible for me and the shareholders, so I would squeeze every little work out of you for as little as possible. Especially if you are easily replaceable srs. Wallmart and Mcdonalds CEO are goals.

Never said they were, and I have no idea why you made that point because (as you know) corporations are not restricted to the western world.

However, the reason is because of regulation, they aren't treating employees well out off their own backs.

There is a lot of regulation regarding employee rights, building codes, workplaces safety, etc, that is enforced in the west.

Regulation makes corporations treat people better in western countries.

In the 2nd largest economy in the world, people are routinely treated like crap in Chinese corporate sweatshops.

We have decade after decade of experience, since the beginning of the industrial revolution, that corporations will treat employees as bad as they can get away with him.

Nothing edgy about it, that's literally your argument.

You honestly think that's practical advice for people in developing countries?










Do you disagree with regulation regarding employee treatment, child labour laws, building codes, workplace safety?
