(225 posts)The knee jerk nastiness that you've remarked upon while certainly not helpful to the over all discourse didn't just come out of no where. The fact is a large number of business owners have demonstrated an attitude of contempt towards the people who work for them for a rather lengthy period of time now. Hence the nastiness. A good example, this idea that anyone should "feel lucky to even have a job". Cause, ya'know if your getting paid shit you should be thankful that your employer even deigns to pay you that much at all.
Now having said that is anybody "entitled" to job ? Of course not. But employers aren't entitled to have all the cards stacked in their favor either.
Say if the people the people who work for her wish to form Union. Who the fuck is she to say that they can't ?
Now to be fair I know dick all about this woman and for all I know she could be as progressive as possible.
Look despite my tone I have small business owners in my family and I get for them things are pretty rough right now. So I'm not entirely oblivious to the sense of frustration that you, as a business owner, probably feel right now.
But at the same time in the employer-employee relationship it's the employer who more often than not has the advantageous position and as people are often wont to do, they use that advantage to get what they want at the expense of the less powerful person. Hence why people are so critical about business owners in general.(or anyone in any position of authority)
