My thoughts to whomsoever it may concern:
"If you have a company with high entry-level wages and where the front-line talent often gets paid better than the managers, then you’re probably in a pretty efficient industry with relatively low turnover. (One good example: professional sports teams.) On the other hand, if you have a company with low entry-level wages and where pay invariably rises the higher you go up the org chart, then you probably have a company where managers spend altogether too much time hiring and training people to do jobs they could probably do better themselves."

Thought provoking stuff this post on LinkedIn. Reminds me why I dislike the culture set up in our companies these days.
Sure, hire new staff at close to double the pay you hired the older staff at. Then by all means consider everyone as mere head counts. You may be the best in the market, but there are a million and one reasons like these that you CAN control but refuse to. However, please do extract every possible nanogram of juice from your employees. Don't worry, they are just machines. Make them work without logic. They are robots and so are you.
Why? Because the clients are king.
Why? Because we are all a bunch of slaves cocooned in shells imposed by the owners and a society controlled by money.
Slaves to this world of consumerism and excessive spending. Where the appraisals are decimated by the rate of inflation. With every second item of basic need sporting stratospheric price tags that would give astronauts a complex.
What a sad life we lead and what a tragic precedent we set.
When will these corporates make life better for the people who run their companies? Positive thinking aside, set yourselves correct first before expecting the same from others. That goes for me too.
Yes, I may sound like a complain box. But this is the reality. I try my best to not let this affect me. And thankfully, it doesn't. :)
But then why listen to me? You shouldn't. I'm just a sheepish human being with no balls to say this to the owners and like a fucktard vent it out here.
