Here's what I've learned from reading your posts: As an employee, you would spell nothing but trouble. You are a trouble maker, aren't you?

I bet you stir up trouble where ever you work, and go around to other employees looking for support for your perceived 'cause'.

No one wants that kind of employee.

Don't make this topic about me.

This just shows you that you don't have any convincing arguments to refute the premise of this thread.

Source for your bullcrap assertion? Please, we are not idiots. We all know that profits are not higher than labor costs. Go back to the crackpipe.

The reason why you have been seeing a decline in customer service is because maybe people aren't happy with their wages. Don't you think? People aren't getting paid enough for the hours they work. People in the last 30 years have been working longer hours with flat wages.
That's your number one problem.

Your philosophy.

You must understand first and foremost that people start businesses to make profit.

Jobs are a side effect of said profit.

When I had employees who seemed unhappy, the 1st thing I did was talk to them.

If it came out that our relationship was a bad fit, well then, we would part company. If it was that the person had some personal issues that stopped them from operating at peak performance, and they really were a good fit, I would do whatever I could to help them.

When you accept a job offer, it is an agreement between you and your employer. You accept said wages for said responsibility.

If you don't think that the compensation is fair, you can pass on the offer.

Once you accept the offer, you have an obligation to fulfill your responsibility.

Oh, that's right....you lefties do not believe in responsibility!

Isn't a company's profits 100%?

You do realize that profit is what is left after all costs?

Stop hitting yourself in the head, it's not allowing you to understand any better.

So, you're saying that it's okay for an employer to make an agreement with someone to enslave them as long as they provide food and shelter?

You need to do more research. Well being comes before profit.

alphamale:"Once you accept the offer, you have an obligation to fulfill your responsibility."

Until said employee gives notice to leave. You do realize, employment at will, is a 2 way street. Plus, giving 2 weeks notice is just a customary goodwill gesture, with no basis in legal obligation.

If you don't think something is a problem in the first place why do you expect them to do anything about it? This sums up the GOP attitude towards unemployment or globalization or climate change.
