Every employee thinks they’re gonna be the one to stick it to the man and affect profit motives on their way out.
No. I think generally people are pretty aware of how hard it is to change the system.
everyone is replaceable.
Correct, but there are replacement costs.
They do not give a fuck about you or your opinion.
Correct, but they do care about how their policies affect their costs.
Your comments will likely go into the bin or a suggestions pool at best.
It’s just about giving your immediate boss data so that when big boss says:
“why is there so much turnover in your department? The recruitment costs are way out of line, and your retraining is killing your productivity”
Instead of immediate boss saying:
“this generation has no loyalty to their employer” (lol)
They can say:
“employees are leaving for jobs that allow work from home, we should ask HR if they think an adjustment to our policy would make recruitment and retention easier. This generation acts so entitled but I think this may be a way to reduce turnover without increasing payroll costs”
Or whatever.
Corporations do what they want and it’s almost always the wrong path.
They always try to maximize profits for the top, it’s rare that that lines up with the interests of the bottom.
