When Companies Grow Bigger Than Their Britches
When did companies start to lose
interest in their employees? The family
man, the woman at the job sight with kids at home to feed and clothe; when did
the personal relations between the owners and the workers start to fall apart?
Family owned businesses brought
families together, working together to make a living for themselves, and for
the future of their employees to come.
Growing businesses mean growing income; growing income means more
product or services to provide, and this leads to people hired to complete
those services. The expansion balloons;
more stress, more needs, more worries to shuttle around - to avoid.
With responsibilities compounding, more
responsibility is delegated to workers in management. Here lies the dissolution of familial
relationships.
The employer, now at the top, can only
see their immediate surroundings, that snow caped mountain in which to take
their immediate family for winter vacations; they can no longer see the valley beneath
them; their extended family, their employees, where common man and woman live, eking
out a life that is driven by a standardized cost of living wage, a wage that no
longer can support their families.
The
equality, between employer and employee, is driven apart by the need for money. The standards are no longer equal.
The employer now raises his own cost of
living, by demanding more money to seek their own pleasurable needs, forgetting
that they had employees who were once part and parcel to being their family in creative
equality.
There will never be equality, that’s a
given, but there should be recognition, understanding, and a giving heart.
Were it not for the hard work; of the employee,
there would not be that mountain top of security for the employer.
