My present company's stance is the beatings will continue until morale improves.
Unfortunately this has become the mantra at many companies, with only a handful not subscribing to this. The way I see it, it is one thing to have a true advantage as a manager when the supply of workers outnumbers the demand for work. It is a tragedy though when many take the "workers paradise" approach to instill morale.
Company Boss: I got a zillion resumes, you should be happy you have a job
So true.
I went into the military to serve my country. I knew the pay was low and I was going into harms way.
Thank you, and I sincerely mean that.
