To serve these purposes , and to complete the internalizations of the said employee it might be best for him or her not even to refer to these time periods worked for the organization not as unpaid overtime but rather as “commitment to professionalism” or “the reason you get your bonus.”.

Talk about the book 1984 with its Orwellian tales of doublespeak and mind control.

In the end it goes under the guise of “Be glad that you have a job” and management bonuses for their efficiencies at keeping costs and labor costs in line. Reminds you of organized crime who are able to run businesses due to low input costs – the goods have invariably been stolen elsewhere and have low direct costs to the said business.

                  Take the case of one hapless employee / drone  / slave who attempted to have an intelligent (?) conversation with a manager concerning this manner.  The employee in question was a hard working , dedicated individual who saw his role as being productive , to cover the territory so to speak and produce results – and ultimately sales of the firm’s products , profit at the end of the year for the firm and ultimately a personal image for the enterprise in a most competitive industry , in which this particular firm was a pimple , a distrurbance among giants to their competitors.

                  It seemed in retropsect to the victim ( the employee trying to make a simple point ) , that his superior was an abusive individual , on a power trip , coming off a drinking bender.  Instead of welcoming the query as a general question by a loyal , hard workin employee who he should of been greatful to have , the direct perfect saw it as a direct threat to his authority in the workplace – even though there were no others present in the meeting , or indeed from the company in the town itself.

                 The boss saw it simply as a threatening  case of the “troops starting up”.  In essence a direct threat to his person , his power and his prestige in the whole setting , his managerial position ( which of course the underling lived to upsurb and posess).

                   The agent of managerial power then lept into a reflex action .  ” Lets do a quickie analysis”, be begun .  “How much time does an average call to a customer take ?”.  When the employee answered that the depended on the individual customer.  On top of that paper work had to be done accurately otherwise the employee / firm would be held liable for the cost and price differences directly.  Again the manager asked the question – “How long does an average call take ?”.  Ok then we will give you a certain amount ( totally a low figure devoid of reality and showing no practical experience by the superior what so ever in the real world and with real world customer activities.”.  “You are the customer’s door for these specific calls in the morning from 7 am to noon”.  We will give you 15 mintues travel time ( average time of any journey generally in the worker’s expererience was at least half an hour.  On top of the walk from any parking lot – be it a mall or a downtown area from the auto in the parking lot to the customer’s location..  XXX you multiply it out .  The manager proudly announced to the underling – “Do you realize that you are   % 19.73 per cent efficient.

                    It was at this point that the subject employee in this fable and noteworthy tale realized that he was simply dealing with idiots. Wjo on earth would promote such a moron, as well as stand behind his harassment of employees , ignore a substance abuse problem.  On top of that it the employee was still gainfully employed with such a record – then he should be terminated.  If the employee was turning good numbers then the tables should be turned.  It should he that person not the supervisor who should conduct meetings and instruct employees on the means and ways of their duties.

Abusive Bosses I Have Known

Join the line of the IRS or Revenue Canada who are “here to help you”

Guess that they just got their daily dose of WW 2 type fims – everybody out there is a crook.  (but the bureaucrats), taking more and more.  hello Obama.  Obama to the rescue taking care of your GM and Chrysler car warranty.  Just try calling.   The government cannot even take care of your driver;s license and now…

Imagine this.  Your boss / company gets you a cell phone phone so that you can do even more for the company ( like 22 1/2 hours a day is not enough).   The phone lets you be more productive , contact more customers ,  make more sales / calls / contacts etc etc.  On top of that these phones basically have a GPS with triangulation built in.  If you boss cannot track you – well now he can down to millimeteres of distance.  How fast is that car moving ?  Is he / she / it / stick of meat with legs /  driving fast enough or too slow ?  No matter what just remember that no matter what you can never win – well at least not with these types.

Now it has come to that not only are you being given this tool of a cell phone or blackberry to make you even more productice and accountable to your boss or superior but the IRS now wants to tax you for using the company’s / firm’s cell phone. Imagine this !!!

  Basically the American IRS ( Internal Revenue Service), has proposed taxing 25 % of all business cell phones as income

What this can mean is that a person / employee / slave / non-government bureaucrat who is in suppose a 28 % tax bracket currently. and whose work “cell phone”  or blackberry communication device costs their company ( at commercial business as opposed to residential deal rates) will pay $ 70 a year more in federal income taxes.

While it is true that the IRS has a law way back on the books that use of business cell phones for personal use it never really was enforced due to the time and difficulties of companies tallying up the time use and charges.

Imagine if the IRS employees should have to pay a percentage of the cost of their desk phone and IRS phones as taxable benefits.

Imagine the tooth fairy.

It is noted by management consultant L.  Isfeld that a penny saved is more than a penny earned.  To earn that penny or in this case $ 70 to pay the IRS in extra taxes you have to earn a lot more gross income in order to collect that $ 70 in your pocket.

Will it ever end ?.

Yet the IRS defends this practice and suggested tax stream:

source:  http://english.capital.gr/news.asp?id=755826

What is the answer-  either refuse the company phone , don’t use the phone – leave it at the office in the desk , charged up GPS et all.   Get your own personal phone . It can be a pay as you go phone .  Purchase a small amount of time use allotment credit.  Then never use your specific personal phone.

Or just never answer the phone as well.  It may be your stupid boss or supervisor calling.  Send your manager a poem by email or snail mail post.

Certainly these groups would preach and practice fairness , the essential nature of the “Golden Rule”  – that you treat people in a manner that you would wish to be treated yourself , and not do things or activities to that you consider undesirable , if not bad or downright evil.  The “Golden Rule”  is not a case of :” the rules are golden as they are my rules”

Consider this example of management practices in the current year of 2009:

“Sme people recently laid-off from religious institutions in Virginia said they were shocked to find the state does not offer them unemployment benefits.

Carol Bronson, who was laid off from her secretarial job at Temple Emanuel synagogue in Virginia Beach, said she was told her unemployment claim was denied because the tax exemptions for religious organizations under Virginia law include an exemption from paying unemployment taxes, The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot reported Monday.

“I had no idea that there would not be any benefits for me after leaving my job,” she said.

Rabbi Howard Mandell of Temple Emanuel said the synagogue was unaware of the Virginia tax law at the time of the layoff.

Jane Dembert, who worked for 17 years at the Christ and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Norfolk, most recently as director of communications, said she was also surprised to have her unemployment claim denied after she was laid-off earlier this year.

Coleman Walsh, chief administrative law judge with the state employment commission, said most people he has spoken to were unaware that faith-based groups are exempt from unemployment taxes.

The Catholic Diocese of Richmond has a voluntary self-insurance arrangement with the state that allows laid-off workers to file for unemployment. If the claim is accepted, the state bills the diocese for the amount of the benefits collected by the recipient.”

Some of the times it is not only management and upper management that should be blamed – workers and their leaders – in the case of the auto industry and specifically the American domestic auto industry that should be examined

Although it can well be said that upper managment in the American car industry was “clueless”  and “devoid of reality”  the case can well be made that for many years it was not the upper execs ( at the top floors dining on fine china in the executive dining rooms), were not making the decisions on auto productions – levels , standards and models .

The decision were being made either by politicans – with their demands and standards – be it safety , fuel or otherwise with the input of the unions chaneling upper management with all their demands – pay and benefits.

We all know of the $ 85 dollar an hour forklift operators, and all the benefits and costs that the automotive companies were saddled with.

If production slowed down workers were paid full bore almost not to work

You might think you were dealing with a government agency – a civil service organization

It was no wonder that “foreign “  autos even those made in the states cost less

Yet look at the qualifications of these union leaders – be it in the US or in Canada with the famous Buzz Hargrove.  What qualificiations do most of these individuals have other than they were good party ( nightime partying and drinking to either get the union appointments or to drink the auto execs under the table socially to have them agree to union requests / demands / blackmail)

Nothing is for nothing.  The costs that the car companies were saddled with had to come from somewhere. It was one giant game with the company “in bed with the union”  according to the viewpoint of the 85 $ dollar an hour fork lift drives.

What both forgot is who they were working for was the American consumer. The car that GM sold for x amount that was good value compared to the import that sold for X + 1000 dollars , should of had a sticker price relating to the actual price of the vehicle , or its constituent imported parts at the port of entry less tarrif fees , not those fees and taxes included.  Yet government was pieced off as well with increased levels of sales and import taxes collected.

Now that the unions will have a giant say as having substantial percentage of ownership of GM how are they going to blame upper management.  Its all in the viewpoint and the money you earn / take home / steal.

Original referenced viewpoint article: 

Outsourcing Top Management: The Lesson of Fiat-Chrysler
By: Dean Baker Monday May 4, 2009 8:20 pm  13
The media coverage of the auto bailouts has focused on the need for union autoworkers to take big pay cuts, causing them to once again miss the real story. The Fiat-Chrysler deal shows that the pay problem is at the top, not the bottom. At the end of the day, the new Chrysler is still likely to be producing most of its cars in the United States. What the new company will be getting from abroad is technology and top management.

This big story was so easily missed because it runs against one of the main myths that our elites have cultivated about the US economy: that the country has a “comparative advantage” in highly skilled labor. In this story, the United States will continue to lose manufacturing and other “less-skilled” jobs as its economy becomes more concentrated in highly skilled sectors.

This story was convenient for our elites because it meant that the decline of manufacturing was a necessary, if sometimes painful, part of a natural economic progression.

It also justified the growing inequality in US society that benefited not just Wall Street bankers and CEOs, but also millions of doctors, lawyers, economists, and other highly educated workers. These people took their six-figure salaries as a birthright, even as the pay of less educated workers stagnated or declined.

While this story of the US becoming a high skills center in the world economy may have been comforting to the elites, and was widely promoted by economists and the news media, there was never much truth to it. Highly skilled professionals did well in recent decades not because they succeeded in international competition, but rather because they were largely sheltered from it.

Trade agreements like NAFTA were explicitly designed to remove any barrier that made it difficult to export manufacturing goods to the United States, thereby placing US manufacturing workers directly in competition with their much lower paid counterparts in the developing world. Most of these restrictions had nothing to do with tariffs. Instead the key issues were rules protecting investment in the developing world along with limits on the ability of the US to exclude imports through safety or environmental regulations.

There has never been any similar effort to eliminate the barriers that prevent professionals from the developing world from coming to the United States and competing directly with their US counterparts as doctors or lawyers or in other highly paid professions.

The economists and the media somehow failed to notice that professionals were intentionally sheltered from international competition and instead just trumpeted them as the winners in the global economy. We were just treated to a beautiful example of this double standard when the media and the economists got all huffy about the “buy America” provision in the stimulus bill that might have protected a few manufacturing jobs in steel and other industries.

While this provision was roundly condemned and eventually watered down, the buy America provision in the Treasury’s latest bank bailout bill went completely unnoticed. This provision requires that any investment manager taking part in the program be headquartered in the United States. Even though the argument against protectionism in financial services is identical to the argument against protectionism in steel, no one bothered to make the argument when Wall Street was the beneficiary of protectionism.

The end result of this protectionism for those at the top is a bloated overpaid sector of top managers, which is what we saw at Chrysler. If we compare wages for assembly-line workers in Europe and the United States, there would not be much difference between the pay of UAW members and their counterparts in Europe. However, there would be a very large difference between the multi-million dollar pay packages of the top executives at the US companies and their European counterparts. The pay gaps persist among the more highly paid engineers and management personnel.

Therefore, it was only logical that a bailout of Chrysler would seek to take advantage of the lower cost management and design skills available at a European car company like Fiat. In Chrysler, as in other companies, the high pay packages for these people are like an anchor dragging them down in international competition. If the US is to be competitive in the 21st century, we must either bring the pay of those at the top back down to earth or we should look to follow the lead of Chrysler and contract out for these services.

Once there was a happy worker ant – so happy and productive

She came to work every day cherry and happy

At the end of the day she had earned her paycheck well

Well not all to well in the world of upper management and theories of personality and production

The boss a lion , thinking and pondering , while evaluating just how smart he was since he was the boss came to the conclusion that with this level of productivity and profit that given there was no supervision , and since the ant was “only a worker”  that events and profits would be much greater if a supervisor was employed ( not unlike the Pharaoh’s management team – the overseers)

A supervisor “The Cockroach” was hired due to the inherent ability of the Cockroach supervisory character to write good reports.

Once the Cockroach as hired , well he decided and determined that he needed a secretary both to enhance the size of his departmental budget, to issue the orders and to type out the reports.  Not that the budget did not have an allotment for a new Dell 8 core computer complete with a color laser printer and collator

Now amazing reports could be issued for board meetings as well as salary reviews for the staff demonstrating why raises could not be awarded,  yet while pointing out the wonderful stats of the upper management

Its all who tells the story and how the trend lines are drawn and laid out

Add to that all the whiz bang colors and the abilities of sophisticated color graphics to dazzle , camouflage and emphasize

Guess what now a spider needed to be hired simply to manage the data in the new time clock system ( introduced by the Cockroach)  as well as to monitor bathroom breaks and record phone calls.

Amazingly things had run just fine before with no time clock what so ever

Graphs and charts were provided on a regular basis to  upper management , for board meetings,  upper management and the directors of the company were rewarded with large bonuses and even stock options and travel perks

The CEO and his wonderful results ( according to graphs always listing upwards)  were a continual fixture in the Wall Street Journal

Somehow a lag came to the business. It came to finger pointing time.  Poor production levels and profit from that one department.

Guess who was fired -  the ant since that employee suffered from poor morale and an unsubstantial “work ethic”

So goes the merry go round

Wonder where it will stop ?

What to do ?  The first answer is to be polite and perhaps even deferential.  After all the person may have a better reason for being there – that is often than a case of “management on the brain” or hero worship. Perhaps they are supporting their sick mother or dog , and they need the money to support the family or these “causes”.

All in all , its best to be quiet . Polite   Get the interview over quickly. Leave.  Never think about such foolish and stupid things again.
