Corporate Greed

Whatever happened to the concept of good pay for hard work?

Here in the US, the concept of rewarding hard working employees has all but disappeared.

The idea of providing fair working wages and rewarding hard productive work is what made this country great. But today's corporate philosophy is this: Greed. Today, corporations and even small operators alike have decided to pay as little as possible and keep the costs at a minimum. Businesses want to make as much money as possible at all costs, and to hell with the workers. Companies are lining the CEOs pockets with more and more money. And at the same time trimming back employee incentives and perks.

What incentive is there for an employee to be productive and have a positive morale when that person knows full well there is no chance for advancement, let alone better pay? Sure, businesses will fire you and keep the employee retention down to a minimum, but that is a part of the new corporate strategy. Short term employees at a minimum cost and hiring in new people until they repeat the cycle.

The result is this: employees will put out little, if any effort. The quality of the work performed will be sloppy if not unacceptable at best. And the business will never have a quality product or service worth selling or promoting.

The end result is the slow systematic disappearance of the middle class. A strong working middle class is what made this country one of the greatest nations on this planet. Without a strong work ethic and a properly trained work force, what are we? Just another second rate country with two polar opposite classes. A repressed poor class being manhandled by a powerful rich class that can set its own rules and get away with murder in the process.

Look at the disparity in foreign trade. Why is that? Because foreign companies actually reward employess for quality work and do it in an efficient way. Methods that once made American companies great are now the formula being used overseas.

In time companies that won't keep their workforce happy end up becoming less reliable, less affordable, and less competitive as other companies come in and do it a better way. When the businesses and corporations of America finally wake up and realize that they are being lapped by their foreign counterparts because they provide real incentives to succeed, then this nation will once again become a strong leader like it once was.
