How much evidence do you need that they do not care? - old and burned out


Posted: Nov 30, 2011

I keep seeing posts here that include phrases like "if they cared about us..."  They don't care and have never cared.  My company was bought out about 15 years ago when we were still working in an office.  The story of how they moved us from our office to the "new" office is horrible enough to be part of a Stephen King novel and would make your skin crawl.  This is a company that operates by threats, intimidation and punishment and, after all these years, with all the evidence to the contrary, seems to think we can be replaced by high school dropouts.  Just expect the worst and you will not be disappointed.

Why do you think they should care? This is business. Not - family and friends. All those

bankers making $$$, do you think they care if local bankers have to lay off tellers?? Of course they dont, it is business. When factoried have to lay off, do you expect the CEO will give up his salary so laborers can still be employeed? Of course not, this is business. When a city has to lay off garbage men, how many mayors have you heard of giving up their salary so they can remain on the job. NONE, cause this is business.

Sam Walton used to visit his Wal-Mart stores back in the day when all his products were made in America. He dressed simply, sometimes even in overalls, and he would visit anonymously with his employees. After his death, of course, all that changed, however, if you have been in the business as long as I have, you will remember the days when the MTSOs did care about their employees. And if you think it is okay for them not to care, then that's just sad.

the key word: AMERICAN - my opinion matters

Walk in to any store that is American owned and operated and you will find an owner that CARES!

It is the non-American owned that don't give a rip.
That's not true. SM - USAMT

The globalist attitude has infected Americans now too.

Very few Americans even care about their fellow Americans anymore. Sad but true.
well, I feel it is true - my opinion matters

My experience has been that American-owned and operated businesses treat you better.

I do think people in general might be developing a globalist attitude, however, how can the they be blamed? It is cramed down our throats!

Not for altruistic reasons - old and burned out

Companies that treat their employees fairly, with respect and some compassion get the productivity that MQ is always trying achieve with their threats, punishment and intimidation. What works better with children, threats and punishment or praise and rewards? What works when you are training a pet, threats and punishment or praise and rewards? We may be older and possibly smarter than children and pets but we all react in the same way. I thinks the jury's been in on this one for a very long time.

not to be confused with coddling and hand holding - you might get flamed

I agreee but others might say that is not a proactive approach!

They Don't Care
Aug 16, 2011

How many times do you have to be hit on the head before you realize that THEY DON'T CARE.  MQ is on its own path.  You can write all the letters you want, contact the president, congresspeople, newspapers, TV, etc.  MQ DOES NOT CARE.  You could drop dead in front of their executive offices and they would just step over you.  THEY DON'T CARE!  The only thing that will ever turn this around is if hospitals refuse to accept off-shore work but considering the ...

After ten minutes of listening intently, tilting your head to one side, pressing the headphones tighter, slowing down the incoherent ramblings, you finally figured it out. Feel proud afterwards right? Well, maybe you shouldn't. ...
