Corporate Waste = Job Loss

When I speak about "Corporations", I speak about all of Corporate America; they're all guilty of the same practices that all too often ruin peoples lives. It's way too easy to spend someone else's money, and spending money is what these companies do best; all the while of not taking into consideration for those who tolerate the "Daily Grind" so that the wealthiest can continue to become wealthier, and in too many cases, they end up taking their best and most loyal employees for granted.


What about those people behind the scenes who made them their money to begin with? What about the smaller people who watch out for their assets while they sleep; what about the teams of people to whom they pay very little to ensure that they return home in the same shape they arrived to work? We are expendable to them; plain and simple.


Instead of starting at the top with cuts; to those who make the most money, they start at the bottom of the barrel and cut people who need the jobs the most. Once again, the greed continues to drive this behavior, it seems that the more money they make, the more they want over and over; its just never enough for them. Is there such a thing as loyalty anymore? Whatever happened to taking care of those who take care of others? Wage increases for the poor suckers at the bottom of the barrel is pretty much non-existent, and one would be hard pressed to find an employer who offers a standard of living rate with each increase of that standard of living; another incentive that is now just a memory of the far distant past.


My issues aren't people who are wealthy from working for all they have, in addition to treating all people with compassion and respect; my issues are with the ones who stick their noses higher in the air with every wage increase they receive, by then they have long forgotten how to show appreciation to the working stiffs who help fatten their already huge bank accounts.


Outsourcing has become the norm to save the most money by not being obligated to pay for the health benefits; in fact, there is a constant growth in temporary services who are bombarded with temporary help requests from Corporations. I know all too well about outsourcing; though I have been at the same facility for almost 24 years, I have not been "hired in", and I never will be, because outsourcing has taken over. The more people they outsource, the more money they make to deepen their pockets; successfully keeping everything unaffordable for hardworking people.
