There are only so many hour in the day that get “wasted” since employees insist on basic habits of eating , sleeping, and even procreating. The belief structure among many management and supervisory types is that these can be simply reduced, if not eliminated by forcing poor workers to work longer and longer hours on in the end unpaid “overtime”. Either be quiet, or you won’t be working here is the mantra so to speak.

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.

Selling out is “selling out”  your principles.  Although it is and seems wrong you may have to do from time to time.  Perhaps your boss is an idiot – a moron – who believes by kytowing you he has great power.  It is an interesting lesson in life that in the end we have little control over much of anything.  And yet many live their lives in a vain attempt to control others – even declaring it in grandiose terms such as “The Rules are Golden and THEY ARE MY RULES”.  You would expect  such thoughts and management behavior from the Gestapo not in a business where the end result is supposed to be productivity not control of others.  And yet many management types act in this vain attempt that somehow that they have great control overs  ( at least in front of their faces).   They probably fall asleep ( if not in a drunken stupor) of repeating this mantra of “The Rules are Golden and They are MY RULES”.   King of the playpen , Morons of the world

It is more than a well known fact to mankind that the business cycle is just that a cycle.  When I an employee asks for help – a new employee who should be receiving “training”  from experienced staff ( management)  they may well be told  “and my job is to manage”.  Yet ask those same authorities what “management ” entails other than being a badge of honor , acclaim or reward what management truly involves and you will be met with more than one blank stare and the phrase ( or mantra)  “I am the manager”. “I am the boss” etc etc etc.

So too is it with the current business cycle.  If times are rough for sales then the refrain to staff ( who are receiving negligible pay packets)  is “stay the course”.  That is of course even if the ship is sinking fast.

Yet when it comes to the current business downtown the bosses are throwing the staff off the top deck of the ship as fast as they can.  Downsizing , layoffs, firings are all standard and indeed the norm.

What happened to the concepts of planning ahead and of being “proactive”.  Should not this been taken into account with forward looking planning.  Was it now now obvious to all that 1) perilous times were coming  2) business is a cycle.

Yet you may of heard the phrase from the mouth’s of idiot managers “Our job is to think” or “Our job is too look ahead /manage”.  If these people were negligent should not they be the one’s held responsible and whose heads should be on the chopping block ?  Was management involved with bond trading at Lehman Brothers reprimanded in any way  or held vaguely responsible ?  At the best they received large bonuses and were promoted .  At the worst they were made sacrificial lambs , fired and are now in position of authority , trust and management safely at some other firm  where they are in positions to advise and “manage”.  More of the same.

its all very similar to the executives or General Motors going to demand money from the US congress with no business plan whatsoever prepared.  But then again would you of expected different ?

Imagine a mentality like this

“Rule Number One”  You can never trust your employers to be responsible

Along with this is rule number two being “Any discussion of management decisions is to be taken as a direct threat and attack on the manager”

Rule Number Three :Any  continual education of most kinds is to be seen as another direct threat as “Everyone else ( especially those who work under me”  is after my job.  “  Somehow this pathology continues.

The one exception to this rule is where the company has mandated a course.  Talk about Dilbert.  The manager has thus taken (?) the course. It may well have involved a drunken meeting of sorts for upper management.  Well at least some air travel points ( to which they are more than entitled).

In this situation of the post course educated management type the poor victim may have to listen to the words of wisdom spouted by the scholar in his attempts to impress others.  For example it may be a course on buying behavior clusters.  In actuality this may be one half to a full page in any standard marketing textbook.  Yet the intelligent manager may spout at after each encounter with any human being his immediate label.  “That is an early adopter”,  “”That would be a later adopter ” etc etc etc.  The amazing part is that the whole concept may ( and is usually)  is taken out of context of its acutal use or indeed any relevant use or helpful appropriate label.  Its the non-seeing idiot leading the blind so to speak.

This type of person has his ego directly embedded with his position. He or she as been taught ( indeed it is a mantra of their existence)  that without their job / position they have no worth as a human being whatsoever .  This may fall into other fields as well as “Moonie , If you are not making money then you have no worth as a human being ( at least ) in our eyes

The problem with these internalized ” rules “  is that any reaction or “human resources”  to any questions or concerns of an employee is a direct attack on that person regardless if the idea has any merit any well or positive benefits to the organization involved.

What a bunch of morons.

An insightful letter to the editor:

A heated debate on the rescue plan for the “Big Three” automakers (GM, Ford and Chrysler) is raging on both sides of the border. Both governments (U. S. and Canadian) are going through their empty treasury cupboards in near panic haste. Everybody is trying to do the “right thing” but there is a danger that just the opposite will be achieved. How did we get into this deplorable situation?

Ever since the demise of the Trudeau leadership, all subsequent political leaderships did away with this “vision for the nation” thing. It became too difficult, almost impossible, for most of our political leaders on all levels of government to think beyond today. Long-term economic planning for our nation became viewed as a communist ploy and was banished from the vocabulary of our governments.

It was substituted by short-term (quarterly) myopic vision. Companies have to make truckloads of profit by the end of every quarter (i. e. three-month period) in order not to disappoint the anonymous stock market analysts and it will surely result in both the big bonuses for their CEOs and ever-increasing prices of their shares.

During his nearly two-year contract (2001 to 2002) in Chrysler, that was under the German management, this writer noticed how dispirited the employees were by the constant reorganizations and restructuring, how arrogant, unwise and unimaginative the top management appeared to be.

I witnessed the suppliers of Chrysler being squeezed by management into 15% reductions in the prices of parts announced to them via e-mail on Friday afternoon and being effective the next Monday. I have seen many highly skilled and innovative information technology staff being outsourced to Indian companies and many other management blunders.

It kept on getting worse as time went by. It almost felt like management’s business plan was to destroy the company as fast as possible.

All top managers (CEO, CIO, CAO, board members, etc.) should have been “promoted” to a very ugly jail and charged with committing serious criminal economic acts. Instead, they got multimillion dollar bonuses, lucrative stock options and other valuable perks. And everybody else got shafted.

This was standard operating procedure in the entire auto industry. GM — the Dick Cheney of the automotive world, once the most powerful corporation in the world — was the most mismanaged of them all. And now, we should be bailing them out with our money? No, let them go bankrupt!

In order to provide meaningful financial relief to GM, Ford and Chrysler, which would assure their existence, both the federal and the provincial governments would have to fork out billions (not hundreds of millions) of dollars. Anything less would be worthless. Yet, there would be no guarantee that they would survive. What should we do?

In these times of acute financial distress on every level –federal, provincial, municipal, corporate and personal — it would be morally and intellectually wrong to pour our shrinking financial resources into an industry that is a part of the problem rather than a part of the solution.
