There has been a great deal of information posted about how Google and Apple conspired to not ever employ one another employees so they could keep salaries low.
Granted low is kind of a relative thing since the employees they were talking about were making quite a bit to start out with.
I strongly doubt that Google and Apple are the only companies that have done that.
The only thing that is important to many corporations nowadays is how much money they can make as fast as possible. They do not in way care about their employees. They actually make changes on the fly to what they want their employees to be doing so that a lot of them can be let go for not meeting the goals that change all the time. That then allows the companies to hire new people at starting salaries that in a lot of cases keep getting lower even though the profits are growing at rates that are obscene.
Many companies have no interest whatsoever in taking care of their employees. I am currently on Workers Compensation because I injured my back at a customers house. I was told that there was no guarantee that my job would be there for me when I was done on Workers Compensation unless there was an FMLA leave running concurrently with the Workers Comp. So there was an application for FMLA sent in and it was almost instantly denied so I am pretty much screwed.
There are ton of companies out there that conspire with each other to screw over employees. For instance where I work if you apply for a job at another company for the same position the pay scale is just as bad as it is now.
I work for the largest company making more money than any other company in this industry. I am currently 2 levels above entry level and the industry average is around 85% more than what I am paid.
I have been working with HR and requesting all kinds of information and all I get it’s the phrase “that is the policy”. No one has been willing to send me a hard copy of the policy which tells me the phrase “that is the policy” is just bullshit and they are using that phrase so they can just sit on their butts and not do anything.
I know a gentleman that worked for the company for around 15 years or so and started having back issues from a congenital problem that was not repairable. He got ready to apply for disability and was let go before he applied so it was instantly denied. He is in the process of suing the company.
We really need to get rid of every single politician that is up for re-election and get new people in here. If that does not happen then we need to start looking at the possibility of Socialism since none of our politicians give a shit about anyone in the country other than the 1% that throw money at them so they have the chance to stay in office.
Any of you out there that hate Socialism better start showing everyone that you give a shit.
