Corporate America Suppresses Creativity

 

Most " Non" Management Employees of large corporations will tell the same story about the horrors of working for corporate America.

The ones that don't realize this are just ignorant, or they have been "lucky" enough to stay in the good graces of management.  In other words, they have not gotten sick, or experienced first hand, that their beloved corporation, really does not care about them.

Corporations - They are all the same, you could unbolt the corporate sign off of any corporate headquarters and bolt it to another, there would be no change in the attitude of management.

 

I never believed in Unions until I went to work for corporate America.    Daddy always said - "If corporations were managed properly and ethically, there would be no need for unions."

However - as with the case of GM - well you just can’t continue to pay a fork lift driver $90,000 a year and expect to be profitable.

 

Customer Service

 

- It is painfully obvious that upper management not only does not care about the customer, they have no clue who the customer is.  They do not interact with the customer.  They make decisions affecting the customer, without this knowledge, forcing it down the ladder, for the front line employees to deal with.

Corporate Entrapment

Once they have you, you're toast.

Usually, in the early years of a young person's corporate life, things tend to be a little rosier.  Younger folks have their health, are willing to literally "kill themselves" working to climb the corporate ladder.

 

It's not until later, as they start to age and realize, that they are constantly under the microscope to be replaced by a younger employee.

Management really shines here.  Putting an older employee under so much undue stress, that they want to quite.  Quitting is the ultimate goal of management.  They realize they have a harder time firing someone for age reasons alone (although they still try to get away with it).

 

So, the middle aged employee is really in a dilemma  The stresses of the job have inflicted illness in the form of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and anxiety / depression.

 

They can't leave, because they are uninsurable at this point.  Management has them right where they want them - Entrapment
