Paying workers a decent wage for their efforts, not loading so much work on them they start losing hair from stress, and demonstrating you actually trust those who do a good job?? You might as well ask them to give you the moon as well /s
It’s horrific that this isn’t just the standard. Your employees are just that, not slaves squeezed like a money sponge.

They want workers, just a certain kind of worker.

While it’s all true, I suggest a different mindset. It’s not an argument we need to win and all of a sudden businesses are going to wake up and start acting different. We need to realize we’re something business wants, not the other way around. They want us so they need to treat us right or we leave, and it’s no problem for us because we’re in demand right now.
If they can’t figure that out, that’s thier problem and no amount of crying changes that. Shit like “nobody wants to work anymore” is an attempt to make us feel bad and make it our problem, it’s not our problem it’s their problem.
They forgot two words on the “Nobody wants to work anymore” and it should be “Nobody wants to work for me anymore”. It’s 100% on them. People want to work. People want to make a living, want to do something productive, want to be proud of what they do. They just want to be treated like they matter.
It’s almost like people want to be treated well, no matter how low on the ladder their job lands.
Don’t you know? You gotta suffer for your work to matter. Everybody could work hard if working was enjoyable and well compensated.
If everyone works hard, and willingly so, how will we differentiate who’s better?Execs aren’t suffering…
Yeah. They deserve to not suffer because TheY TaKe aLl tHe RiSk!
The risk that they constantly go to great lengths to mitigate.
And the idea of them taking on the risk is absurd. Corporations are legal constructs with the explicit intent of insulating owners from the downside risks of their companies. If they actually wanted to take on the risk, they’d just pay everyone from their checking account, if the corporation goes bankrupt, they go bankrupt.
