In this time of low unemployment, we have to keep people in the job, no matter what they do against company policy, for there is no line of applicants waiting to be hired. So, my bottom line is, remember that the employer is creating the jobs. Please talk more in a positive, helpful way to the employer, quit giving employees ideas and tools to work against the employer. By the same token, a person can be laid off for no reason, but with all the sleazy lawyers in town, they can always find someone to file charges of some kind. Also, a point that is missed often, one has to EARN the raise before it is given, not get a raise in expectation of more or better work produce.
Stress is evident.
Safety and quality are compromised. Work-related mental illness is created. I am a manager in a somewhat large organization that employs individuals all over the world. Even though this is the largest company for whom I have worked, the situation is either the same or worse. Stress to me is something that is generated by companies to create confusion and to keep employees thinking about things other than money.
