Very true, indeed !
This things are totaly unjust and still they are accepted.
Everybody does, all thinks it's normal. And still, they wander why things go bad and how should we fix the situation - but everything is obvious. And I know it's obvious to all of those managers. But they just don't care. They care only for them.
Beyond the nice words from PowerPoints and the "events", things like "growth", "company culture", "values", "company policy" (this is also a must have but never respected - we only like to have it to look good on us), "benefits", "respect for the worker", "fair environment", "win-win situation" - beyond this is their lack of responsability, their imorality, their lack of care of the employees.
The true win-win is only when you care. And when you really care as a manager, then you won't do like in the boate example.
But the fact is that most of us don't care.
