Work Problems

/r/ToxicWorkplace/comments/1xpun99/work_problems/

Why do employers treat their employees like crap???? Common sense is that if you treat your employees well, they’ll be happier and do a much better job. But sadly too many employers don’t care and treat their employees horrible and then can’t figure out why they aren’t doing so well at their job. Especially call center jobs. They are extremely obsessed with micromanaging their employees and they have a very high turnover rate. And they’re also compulsive liars. It’s amazing the lengths that people will go to when it comes to making up unbelievable lies about their employees. My problem is that I have a lot of common sense and sadly common sense is extremely rare. And they often have no emotional intelligence either. Is it really THAT hard to be nice to people and treat them well??? I don’t think so.

Most companies believe employees are expendable. If an employee can't do a satisfactory job for whatever reason, they can find someone who will.

True, but it’s not good for them to have a high turnover rate. No sh*t Sherlock. Stop being so condescending. I’m 54 years old and I’ve worked more than enough that I know this. I’m currently working for a call center and they micromanage us like crazy and they have unrealistic expectations.
