Workplaces seem to be getting to the days of requiring workers to complete more work than is physically possible. When will we realise that there is a limit to how much work people can actually complete. Also how much consideration goes into the balance of adding in that next task with regards the benefits, and affect on load of the workers.
It would seem that our world is getting more and more driven by profit gains. When will the ethics of cutting staff to increase profits, but hurting the health of the workers left be taken into consideration. More so when will the lack of ethics of the CEO salaries growing disproportionally to those of the workers be taken into consideration? I suspect the answer to that is never - for the world has increased in greed.
I realise that some of what I write comes from being in the position of being a worker, but that in other cases I do not understand the pressure on CEO's. Yet I do believe it would be best if their packages were tied to being a certain multiple of the lowest workers salary/wage, so that when they gave themselves a pay rise via the board, every worker in the company also obtained a pay rise. Perhaps a company could agree to only rising each year by the CPI plus.... or some other indicators, so that the position on the scale of life is maintained instead of decreasing.
Still there is a problem with the obscene salaries that many CEO's are paid, when they can receive bonuses even when the company makes a loss.
