So a “good” manager drives their employees to break down and quit, as opposed to incentivizing and supporting them? How fun it must be to live in “Backwards Land.”
unfortunately, in late-stage capitalism a corporation must still have profit increases every quarter (or at the very least year over year). Why late-stage specifically? In late-stage that means you have reached market saturation, you literally cannot increase your actual earned profits any higher through the traditional method of customers buying things from you. Where do the profits come from them? Why, through suppressing wages and layoffs.
Remember when Stuart let a different employee go that actually did her job but kept Courtney? He said it was because the other employee was paid a higher hourly rate. There’s also Grumbel’s corporate always cutting the payroll for the store. As long as the store continues to meet its sales targets, then corporate can start squeezing the employees so that Grumbel’s can continue boasting record profits, so that shareholders won’t sell their stock, avoiding a huge devaluation of the company.
It’s really, really fucking stupid, and it’s going to cause so, so many problems as the years continue to roll by
Yuuuup, exactly. It used to be that companies wanted employees to stay for years, since these employees had a lot of valuable knowledge and experience. Now it seems companies don’t care when the quality of their services or products decreases because they fired the experienced employee who made slightly more and the new employee hasn’t been fully trained (because there’s no one experienced left to train them), ‘causse it would cut into the CEO’s $2.8M annual bonus.

Turnover is sadly good for business cause it keeps wages low.

Okay I’ll beat him with a stick to become a manager.
No, Stuart, now she’s thinking like a JERK! But she’s being sarcastic. With you being a jerk is a way of life.
