Young people are questioning workplace norms that have stood for a century. It means more change is coming, experts told Insider. That's not a bad thing.
the whole workplace culture is so anti-worker its unreal, its almost adversarial like the landlord-tennant relationship. it’d be great if there were a “you take care of me, I take care of you” attitude for employee/employers but these days it feels like they want to squeeze every last bit of productivity out of you and pay you as little as possible for your efforts, and everyone wonders why its so hard to attract tallent. its out there, just take care of your workers!
No almost about it. It is adversarial in a lot (maybe most) cases. When it is only, and always, about money, with no other priority the company has a strong incentive to screw over and exploit workers more. And if beholden to shareholders, squeezing blood from every stone is a requirement.
Chasing dollars sure seems to be at odds with virtually anything good and decent.
even in my experience (research/healthcare) this is a reality, theres so much preventable brain drain from people in critical positions who have just had enough.
Companies, by their very nature, are authoritarian structures. You receive orders from on high and by and large are only able to discuss how to implement them (if even that) with the threat of removing your livelihood as discipline. Unless there is some level of worker ownership or worker representation at senior management level companies are more akin to feudal power structures than modern ones.
