      It's nothing new. I busted my butt for my first job out of college in the early 90s. They had no problem telling me "sorry, he's your last check plus 2 weeks severance." But of course the guy who owned the company and his girlfriend who were embezzling money weren't taking a pay cut as well. They want you your loyalty but won't give it in return. I learned my lesson very quickly.

    When a company says "We are like family here", run .. what they mean is they want you to work as hard as they would for their own company, but not pay you what you are worth.
    When a company says, "You have the opportunity to learn a lot of different skills through our cross training program" ... run ... what they mean is you will work in various departments doing 2 to 5 different jobs and get paid for only one of them.

      But I will tell you that business owners and employers feel the stress when employs use their good nature / caring attitudes / empathy to take advantage and call for time off and whatnot
      I don’t think employers shouldn’t be empathetic, but they also have a business to run, with rent due and bills due and a plethora of things to manage and worry about. Many moving parts, multiple employees
      Each industry is different but every industry I’ve been in, when I’ve gotten close to the owners, they are the most stressed out people in the world
      Retail, restaurant, service, automotive, healthcare/clinics/pharmacies, etc

It's just facts that the younger generation is getting the short end of the stick while all the baby boomers who ruined the economy get to retire comfortably. Yet we are anticipating social security is going to run out before 2050. Pensions are not a thing anymore. There's plans to tax unrealized gains. Now, what do you have to say about that?

    A company is not family. A job is not a marriage. The employer has an obligation to pay a fair wage, provide a safe work environment, offer fair working conditions. The employee needs to show up, have their head in the game, do a good job (in the eyes of the employer). Often neither side is holding up their end of the deal. In either large or small companies. Important to understand-BOTH employers and employees are broken.

    What broke it? - Accountants and "educated" supposed leaders. Employees are nothing more than nameless, faceless line items on a spreadsheet. You ARE a "human resource" - once companies moved from "Personnel" to HR - it killed the employer / employee relationship. The "leader" only cares about their spreadsheet of the moment and their next bonus, and if that means headcount cuts and people suffer - they simply don't care. More, more, more - use up the employees until they break, quit or get cut - then replace, outsource or push the work on who remains.

It was due to one of these meetings that I switched from I.T. to metal fabrication (yes, I.T. to welding... still for the same company though) and now I actually look forward to going to work. I get to create and build things instead of just fixing things that are broken.

She doesn't actually have a deadline, she just wants it done so she can say that it's done. That's the type of stuff that drives me nuts.

    Here is another story that dovetails nicely with your discussion. It’s about wage stagnation in the US and outlines historic factors that play a huge role in the current stressed workforce - not taking away from your points. It’s called “Why Everyone is Quitting the 40 Hour Workweek”. It also provides the reasons why Keynesian economic ideas failed and how the promise of productivity through technology didn’t provide relief but instead fueled corporate greed (my summary) to the detriment of workers and the middle class. It’s like the frog being boiled slowly. Workers didn’t really realize how screwed they were until it became utterly unbearable. The pressure points of social media and leadership style can’t compete against the overall stew we have found ourselves in.

These guys are delusional living in their glass mansions.

    I just go and do what I got to do and then do more than what other co-workers won't do for the company.
    I have accepted this until I either die or get pulled up to be gathered in the air with Jesus.
    My life is short compared to eternity with Jesus...
    That is why I am not bothered by not being cared about or for by immortal man.

  • @TanyaGray-sh5up

    I just started listening to this podcast, and I disagree with the assessment that outside factors that are being brought into the workplace are causing the employee workplace burnt out and stress levels that we are seeing today. It’s the other way around, the workplace stress is causing the problems in the employee’s personal lives. I’m not married and I have no children, my personal life is as peaceful as can be, but there are many days after working, that I’m lucky to find my way home because of the mental exhaustion and unrealistic demands that are placed on me. Years ago, three
    people did the job of what one person is now doing in the workplace. These employers are also ruling by fear over the employee. Fear that if you don’t do enough, quick enough to their satisfaction and complete unrealistic expectations, that you can and will be replaced as if you never even existed in the first place there. Thus causing great impact to you and your family. This is how they are getting away with this treatment of the employee. People like to say you should have six months worth of expenses saved up in case something happens. I don’t know too many people who can do this with the inflation and stagnant raises that have been an issue for a very long time, plus, if you are raising children, this becomes even more impossible. The cards are stacked against the employee in the employee/employer relationship.
    I do expect to see a change in the next ten years in the workplace when these younger generations are coming into the workplace as they are not going to tolerate the way things have been. I’m GEN X, who was raised by Boomers, who thought if you worked hard, you got ahead in this world, but sadly, this is not the case. You do get something for doing this, you get more work and responsibility with no or very little extra pay and the younger generations know this. They’ve seen it happen to their parents and are not going to tolerate it. So, I think you will see with the younger generations, a lot more moving very quickly between jobs when their, not the employer’s needs, are not being met. Where my generation and the ones before me stayed at these jobs on the false promise of loyalty. These employers will have to change how they do business to keep their turnover down, which negatively impacts their bottom line, to keep these younger generations from jumping ship and keep them at their company. That’s how the employee can effectuate change to the employer, by hitting the employer’s bottom line. The almighty bottom line.
    I do agree that technology has caused major issues in our work/life balance. We are too accessible now. You can text and email a person anytime 365 days a year and it blurs the line between work and life to where that line doesn’t even exist anymore. We have evolved in technology so fast it’s as if we got whip flash from it. It’s too much, we are too connected and it is taking a toll on us in every aspect of our lives.

    Employees don’t know what to do, but employers also don’t provide training or good mentorship. There are exceptions, but right now if you can’t hit the ground running companies don’t want to hire you. That make it difficult to resolve those stress issues you are talking about. I agree getting your house in order will help, but that understates the loss of the social contract of working for a company. We lost the world where companies are expected to take care of their employees.

    It's because everybody's running a skeleton crew. Everybody's doing four or five jobs. You cannot keep putting more and more work on people, with less pay, and make them happy. This is what we're facing. If you're a nurse, you're doing the job of like five nurses. Same thing with every other job. However we all know that the population is increasing, but we're getting less and less workers? And that's not because people don't want to work. That's because companies don't want to pay people. For example, we need an analyst on my team, but for this last 6 months they've been dragging their feet. So I've been footing the bill for the analyst. And I can already tell you they're thinking, well he can do the analyst role and the demand planning role, let's just keep it that way for as long as we can. And that's what gets people to leave. Of course it's already made me sour, so I've already done quiet quitting. And now I'm just waiting for them to fire me because I'm only working like an hour a day because of what they've done to me

    So many businesses have company values & culture listed that the “leaders” and people in corporate positions violate daily yet if I don’t follow them they will beat you over the head, write you up, and threaten you. Especially women in those positions and if you reveal how they have violated the culture and values by how they treat you, you get on their crap list and live with a target. That’s what causes stress. Women are the worst managers I have ever had!
    Basically this podcast was way too philosophical and gaslit the working class. The reality is many people at the middle and top are just plain selfish, bad, immoral and immature people. And that’s who the company promotes regularly!!
