I'll take care of myself thank you. Bargaining is for incompetent whiners.
“I’ll take care of myself thank you. Bargaining is for incompetent whiners.”
Bargaining got you your weekends; we’re starting to see what “American” companies are willing to do when given loopholes. Temps shouldn’t be working for five years as temps, just as “part-time” workers shouldn’t be consistently working 40+ hours per week without any benefits accorded to full-time employees at the same company. Miners used to work six and a half days a week; now many Americans are already up to six (while falling behind due to a combination of stagnant wages and unreported inflation).
I’ll never understand why, in light of the outsourcing and unfettered immigration, Americans pretend that we have any bargaining power left. Can you see what it has gotten us? What do you think is in store for Amerca’s children of today? At least Tunisians & Egyptians did something about their conditions.
I take it you think all sales people are "incompetent whiners."
Sheesh. Most every executive I have ever met negotiates his or her compensation package.
You are absolutely right, VL.
Bargaining for a better living in the real world means being good enough at what you do that others WANT to pay you well.
Methinks kearnyirish has a case of lefty blarney-I-wish.
