Employment Security Fund
So if you’ve read a previous post I put up about an Employment Security Fund, I had proposed this as a way to enable us bottom feeding salaried employees to regain our liberties that we have been losing over the years. Fight money with money.
It is so transparent anymore. Of course all the major 50 corporations in the world are really controlled by one directorship. When you have CEO’s sitting on a board of one company, and then on a board of another, to me it’s nothing but one big monopoly.
With the advent of Peoplesoft, over the years a network has been created to better control the salaries, raises, and life of an employee within a company. I have noticed that over the past 8 or 9 years, salaries haven’t really changed much for any job title. I have also noticed that really no matter what your job role is within a company, all the titles are placed at different levels in the same pool with each other. For example: Senior Buyer, Senior Administrative Ass., Senior Engineer, etc. Basically, all of those people’s salaries are in the same ballpark. I would say that the Senior Engineer’s job is much tougher than the Buyer’s or Assistant’s job. It requires a tougher education, more expertise, and nothing but a constant challenge and learning curve every single day throughout an entire career. But nevertheless, the Engineer’s salary is the same. I would say the Senior Buyer’s job is more demanding than a Senior Human Resource employee, but once again, it all pays the same.
So, through directorships, networks, and tools such as PeopleSoft, corporations have become very successful at driving down people’s salaries over the years as well as ensuring that salaries are the same across the board of industry. Along with this, they also like to give their PeopleSoft goals and objectives reviews to place additional demands and goals that cannot be fulfilled beyond one’s own job description. And once you electronically sign that PeopleSoft agreement, you just legally agreed to the unrealistic demands so that you cannot sue when you aren’t given a bonus or salary raise each year at performance review time. For me personally, my job is nothing like the job description that was listed on the employment ad. My job duties are much more demanding, and of course, much much much more boring than the description that was listed on the employment ad that I was hired from. My goals and objectives for the year go beyond what I am capable of doing given the kind of job I have. This was all orchestrated by the corporations as a legal guarantee that I will never receive any significant salary raises for the rest of my career.
And what can I do? NOTHING. At least for right now. That’s why I had proposed the Employment Security Fund. A collaboration of money, securities, and lawyers to ensure that you have more rights and job security within the 40+ hour per week slave labor camp we all work in. Having something like this is no guarantee that someone won’t ever be laid off or ever fired, but it is a guarantee that there will always be someone looking into any occurrence of layoffs, firings, or low salary compensation. There are corporations that will lay people off to make an extra buck. In my opinion, no one should ever get laid off unless a company’s revenue for the year is in the negative. Screw the stockholder, this time the ESF fund will be the stockholder that corporations will have to please as well.
So in this day and age, it’s not only human liberties that need to be watched out for within the public forum of our land and its government and its laws, but also within the world of capitalism we live in as well. It’s us people that have enabled the corporations to grow to the status they have. When they give us our lousy performance reviews, and then another excuse as to why there won’t be any raises this year, they act like it’s a privilege for you to be working there, when it should be the other way around. These corporations are doing business on OUR soil. We should have more of a say-so in how office life should be. Having an ESF fund can turn things around and allow you to give your company a performance review, and then decide to alter or reduce your own workload if the corporation isn’t meeting YOUR expectations.
This can be done. There is more of us than there is of them. They cannot survive without us. And it is not right for these CEO’s to have golden parachutes attached to them while you have a ball and chain attached to you. It’s just a matter of people being able to put their minds together as a whole and make something happen instead of sitting on your ass and watching another news segment about Paris Hilton. Believe me, in a very indirect way, the slave labor you perform actually puts money in her pocket. Change it.
