Job Dilemma

Happy days have gone!

I remember some time ago, employees were spoil with choice of work and were better place to demand better salary and terms.
Nowadays, with the economy at technical recession, it is the turn of the employers to dictate the terms and conditions of work.

Questions asked here is how should the employees approach their dilemma?

I am sure most employees feel that they are push to work harder and with overtime and probably not compensated for their efforts as well. They will feel that employers will tell them a lot of cock and bull story about how bad the company is doing and that sacrifices must be made by the employees. There is an inherent mistrust with the management and whatever that is said or not said will be shot down by the employees.

But do we blame the employees?

Employees like most other human beings (some are not!!) have a survival instinct and when we take some of their livelihood away, they are bound to complain and feel dejected. They have to worry about their families or where bachelors and spinsters are concerned their lifestyle is threatened. No more fast cars, guys and gays!

So do we blame the employers?

Most probably YES! Wait!! is this right, the management will say that the economy is down and we are in recession and the company is affected and hence they have t0 cut down on overheads and staff. Perfectly normal and justifiable argument. BUT, wait a minute! you cannot just take me and then dump me whenever you like, where is the morality of it all. There is such a thing as corporate social responsibility, corporate governance etc for the management to follow and be responsible for and be held accountable.

But when times are bad the management in the name of recession just close down their operations and lay off all or some of the workers and they are not held accountable.

What stupidity and double standards is this?
