I really wish companies would realize workers are more productive when they can take time to take care of their mental and physical health.
Stressed out, overwhelmed, and exhausted people naturally make more mistakes, and mistakes cost money. You’d think they’d understand this because…well… profits?
But no, a bunch of sociopaths Machiavellianed their way to the top of companies and seem to enjoy making their workers miserable while claiming profits are the motivation for horrible sick leave policies.
The US is fucking awful about this shit. I really hope it changes soon.
This is why unions are actually helpful to businesses in the long run. Workers see problems that management doesn’t, and then are empowered to make changes.
The behavior of business owners makes more sense if you think of the goal as power rather than money. Money is often a path to power, but there’s sometimes conflicts between the two. Watch which one they pick and you’ll see what they actually value.
I read something yesterday that really disturbed me: there are actually people that worship sociopaths and their manipulative, selfish demeanor as the only true elite. Its disgusting. I feel like this needs to come to the attention of the masses.
In fact I do. This is what was linked: https://thepowermoves.com/the-gervais-principle-summary-review/
I wish we would start excluding these folks from positions of power. Its not healthy for anyone.
