(3,596 posts)Because they consider employees "fungible" and "discardable", they create an environment in which employees have ZERO loyalty to their employer. They do the minimum they can and find every way to "screw" the employer as the "employer" screws them.
This is NOT a winning relationship. As late as 30 years ago an employer and employee entered into a relationship (union or not) where they both respected one another and attempted to work together. The employer laid our the objectives, the employee delivered to hose objectives.
Today, the employer set out the slave-labor conditions and cracks the whip. There is no mutual loyalty and corporations wonder why employees give up trade secrets, etc. to competitors?
The oligarchs should be tried, convicted and executed. It is only when they understand the public will no longer stand for their criminality they will change their ways. Neither Obama (no prosecutions for the 2008 debacle) nor Congress (Demoncrats or Republics) will ever go after the hand that feeds them.
We need a bona fide peaceful revolution (like they had in Iceland) where bank CEOs sit in prision.
That is the only way forward......
