I know what you mean.
What I’d like to refer to is the overtasking that takes place. You tell your managers, these are your duties. Then you give them too little staff, too little time to do it in and assign special projects on top of that.
Then you come back by months or years later and remind the manager that corporate and state inspections will be taking place, and ask to see all the paperwork they’ve documented compliance with.
They know damned well you didn’t do it because you don’t even have time to meet the day to day requirements.
Then they replace you and start over with the next guy. After three replacements in consequitive quarters, you’d think the corporate folks might begin to get the picture. And then you realize, this is the picture.
They know all this. It’s the dynamic they want. Keep those wages low. Keep the staff in continual termoil. If we lose a few accounts, it’s okay. We’re making gazillions.
I hate to say it, but this is my observation.
I’ve met too many managers, usually little wise asses, who brag about how much they enjoy firing people. They will beg to be the one to lay someone off. Who’s going to be loyal to that?
Yep, and don’t forget all those meetings on diversity and whatever else they can think up.
We read in the paper about the big bonuses and perks our CEO gets (with him reining in about $2,000,000 extra dollars a year). Then when the company makes U.S. World & News list of best hospitals, the employees get a thermal coffee cup. And it leaks.
To show employee appreciation, they have what I call "Happy Days". 2-3 free food parties during the day and employees get a free gift. A t-shirt, or sweatshirt - things of that order.
I guess they think that these things will make us forget raises and bonuses.
It's an insult to most employees.
