re: #19 Eclectic Cyborg

Continuing the work related discussion from the last thread:

I work for a company that was taken over by another company about two years ago. The new company has imposed a lot of changes, mostly rolling back benefits, time off, perks and so forth.

I asked a coworker of mine some time ago if he could think of ANYTHING that has improved since the ownership change. He said no. I am in agreement with him.

Of course the new owners also brought in stringent new performance and productivity standards for us to meet as well.

So let’s summarize: They want to pay us less and give us fewer benefits but also want us to work harder and be more productive.

Something’s not right here…

We’ve had no real bonuses or raises at the worker level for years, but a company exec got a 7 figure bonus for a deal which fell to shit and ended up costing the company millions.

How does that work again?
