Reply #60: Professional workers are 12 hrs a day, week ends holidays [View All]

we have fired huge numbers of people, India is booming with new jobs that should be in USA, but US workers are doing heavy lifting we are mercilessly driven.

CEOs in big mansions can't keep an eye on what workers are doing in India and China. So they are creating virtual surveillance systems.

We have no help with administration, we are being asked to clean our own work areas and bathrooms while being held accountable for schedules and always under threat of being fired.

Assuming he has graduate degree & 20 years and has good skills, $60k is peanuts.

The average worker today is about same wages as 1970 when adjusted for inflation. Average wall street CEO is 10X to 100X in pay when adjusted for inflation.

Of course, health care, housing, education etc are running about 3-5% a year over same interval which adds up to about 10x costs today.

If you have a cronic illness in family, you have no choice but to work as slave.

Wall Street was afraid that single payer would result in 100,000 workers quiting and going free lance. There is no other value in working for a corporation today. Working in America is becoming like sweatshops in Asia.

So they fucked us over. Even under Obama care - there is no cost control unless you are at poverty line.
