It’s an absolute sickness of our society that so many owners and managers make their employees desperate by giving casual or part-time hours (but expecting total availability), no or limited benefits, and giving no consideration to factors beyond the workplace – childcare concerns, vehicle availability, even the impact of sudden unexpected expenses – in how it affects the worker and therefore the workplace.
The worst part is that it takes very little – and often not even financial considerations – to make those same desperate people into happy loyal employees.
Also why I’m a huge fan of the idea of Universal Basic Income…
