See, you have morals and empathy.
Most managers and owners don't.
Most managers and owners in US don't.
Sorry, my US brain was assuming only US people again!
Though yalls owners class frequently does want to be exactly like the US owners class. Don't think I haven't noticed the sharp rise in barely-not-fascist and outright fascist parties in Europe! And the middle east has been run by fascists for decades thanks to the US and various European powers.
Basically we all suck, some just suck less and slower
Yes, companies want to do the same in Europa, but we have laws for that.
Well considering the median worker in China, the place we all mock for their employee protection laws and poor wages, makes more than the median American, maybe its not as close a gap as you make it sound like.
Even when you take morals and empathy out of the equation, you just generally get better results from people that aren't run down and miserable.
Apologies,
Owners and managers have no empathy, morals, or brains.
The point is to harm people that have less power than you do. There's a whole political ideology based around that idea.
Well, at my work, all of the regular decent people with consistent morals refuse leadership positions because that would mean they'd be responsible for this dumpster fire.
Meanwhile the actual leadership is the people who were to stupid to realize they could cause harm in a leadership position but were just smart enough to see they would make more money changing from hourly to salary.
And then they find out about 6 months into the new promotion that the company puts them on salary because in america that means they both don't need to be paid for overtime and can be fired if they refuse to do overtime.
Oh right this is about time off. At my company if you ask for a day off they will:
That last one, I had a job where the blackout period was from October through new years. Noone was permitted to take vacation time due to our "busy months".
