why we go back to the job site
not a bad read
=================================
"A survey question that is becoming increasingly popular
asks people if they like their jobs.
Depending on which survey you read,
somewhere between 40% and 50%
of American workers say they don't like their job"
.
" Funny perhaps, but apparently
it is something to be found at the job site
that makes the job so bad.
... it's the people"
"Fear comes in varieties.
Humans can experience
a whole botany of these feelings,
varying from flicks of worry
to cross-eyed terror,
but stresses on the job
are now so serious,
that 53% of people keep going back to the job,
despite feeling overwhelmed "
" We do it so regularly
that eight hours of loathing
is an everyday routine"
"Fear on the job?
Of course there are other difficulties,
the eyestrain, the hurried meals
when meeting deadlines.
But frequent descriptions
of supervisors and coworkers at some job sites
are frightful
in fact they sometimes sound
like a tribe of mutants"
"The Intimidator (loud, domineering, abusive, throws tantrums),
the Stressor (spills her chronic frustration over coworkers in sarcasm and unending interruptions),
the Micromanager (requires written reports at every turn)
the Withholder (has data necessary for operations which she will not share),
the Inconsistent (high drama, unpredictable hysteric, lapses into stream-of-consciousness communications) and the brilliant but hostile Techno-specialist)
These personalities can be extremely judgmental
and may turn rabid when confronted,
sending waves of anxiety across the office
Ranting supervisors and other rageaholics
are so frequently listed
that "the office bully" is now a cliché "
"Cubicle workers patch their emotions together
to get through the day".
"this is difficult to change
because the perpetrators are often
hard-to-replace specialists.
They are often extremely competitive personalities,
interpreting every successful intimidation
as a personal win ("
"So why do workers go back?
The simple answer is, we owe"
"the average American is about $8,500 in debt
aside from mortgage
if payments are late,
interest charges up to 30% are common,
t many states have no usury laws,
so credit card companies can charge
what the market will bear"
"If you fall behind on your debt payments,
you'll meet another bully,
the debt collector.
From distant phones which nobody can trace,
these unblinking intimidators
wait until you get home
and then call you persistently
to make sure you never forget
about the money you owe"
" Legally or illegally,
they threaten criminal charges, garnishment,
property confiscation,
or revealing your purchases
to your boss and relatives "
"About half of Americans
say they worry about debt,
and 2 in 10 say they worry about debt
most or all of the time "
Debt payments are a scourge.
"Back at work, the manager understands. "
"In 1960 Douglas McGregor wrote a book
The Human Side of Enterprise
detailing two different management styles.
The more common (especially in bigger companies)
he dubbed "Theory X,"
a theory managers carry around in their heads:
that humans inherently dislike work,
and they have to be threatened and coerced.
These managers openly use a hard,
punishing style to get people to produce;
they also believe people like being controlled.
(Theory Y bosses are convinced people
are naturally happy and creative,
and that job satisfaction is a motivator)
. Theory X supervisors are very common
They can induce saturnine hopelessness
in the easiest of jobs"
"From intimidation at work,
to debt fears at home
, and back again"
" People bear these fears
in an ancient silence born of shame
believing they are failures
in a system which otherwise
seems free and open
because everybody else on TV
looks like they're having a good time"
"60% see a job scarcity,
with so many jobs going overseas "
"So we can add to the catalog of fears
another type,
the fear of consequences.
"What would happen if?"
if they lost their jobs,
lost their credit,
lost the car,
wound up in court,
lost the house,
all the more possible
if they have divorce stresses,
support payments,
large medical costs,
or are in a legal suit"
"The manager understands.
Which is why he can act with impunity"
"people who bear this for years develop other signs:
a few drinks each lunch,
the inaudible voice of the seriously depressed,
the trembling hands.
The effects of stressful events add up.
Later, the praying on the way to work,
the paranoia, road rage, alcoholism,
the sobbing in the toilets, and domestic violence"
"this large proportion of the population living
in degrees of coercion and fear
is incompatible with enlightened democracy".
Barbara Ehrenreich :
"We can hardly pride ourselves
on being the world's preeminent democracy,
after all, if large numbers of citizens
spend half their waking hours
in what amounts, in plain terms,
to a dictatorship"
". We lurch forward another year under the banner, business is business"
.
"It is fear. If workers
had no fear of the consequences,
they would not work on the job ".
"Could our economy run without fear? "
" What if all people living in this quiet desperation
stopped working?"
"if you removed fear of consequences,
we don't need calculators to figure
that the system would come to a collapsing halt"
.
" From the point of view of employers,
of course,
fear is useful.
It is a goad.
It keeps workers pulling at the oars"
"The science of economics
will not truck with this, of course.
Fear is not a rational factor.
They call it an "externality,"
because it will not fit
into their dry formulas"
"Perhaps we can try this image.
We have been talking about 40% to 50%
of the population,
so perhaps the economy floats on fear
like a boat half in, half out of the water.
Technically the water is 'external' to it.
Then, like a boat,
the economy doesn't need fear to exist;
but it works much better with it.

advice to the auto parts guys
its coming to the moment of truth fellahs
check your gut
are you ready to rumble ???
are you ready to grab your plants
and hold em hostage
to whats plainly
right and fair ???
=====================================
if not
if you're thinking
" ah whats the fuckin use
lets take their offer
hell
its either eat this
or hit the side walk "
ask yourselves :
can I thrive on the difference here ??
thats the make or brake to me
signing an ass fucking
take back contract
or seeing the bossfold up the plant
well
if either way... its just now or later
if both roads end up in fuckville anyhow
i say
bolt the negotiations prontooooooooooooo
go into
last ditch glory stand mode
fight from inside the plant
fight to the bitter last drop
if to settle for the offered"compromise " here
is just
surrender in low gear
if this is just
a job redeemed ...till further notice
if its just
a way
the company
can buy time
today
by handing out few comp dollars
and
a string of unsigned promisory notes
fuck em
of course
u choose the moment
to kick over the table
but for christ sake
do it ASAP
before the boss is fully ready for you
mark my warning here
doing anything
so called " sensible" now
will rip at your guts some day
come on
do u reaaly wanna look back on all this
and in your heart
have to say to yourself
"why the fuck didn't we fight
why the fuck
when we still had the chance
didn't we go out

at a considerable discount.
Together, these Grassroots Leadership courses
which you can take
in the comfort of your home
or at any computer
with an Internet connection
will give you an economic
and historical analysis
of the present U.S. situation
and provide you
with the skills, support and guidance
to lead a campaign in your community.
its a unique opportunity
being offered exclusively to our members
.
Thank you for all you do for working families.
Sincerely,

what could be done but ain't
here's a harpooning
worth a shit ...
we could use several
tens of thousands more
just like it ...
=======================
"In a rare victory
for the federal pension insurance program
the government says
it will stop going after the assets
of the industrialist Ira L. Rennert
because it has been assured
that Mr. Rennert will keep
a disputed steelworkers' pension plan going"
" That means that Mr. Rennert's
$185 million estate in the Hamptons is safe"
"Mr. Rennert's company, the Renco Group,
has owned the pension plan's sponsor,
WCI Steel, since 1988. "
"The steel company, based in Warren, Ohio
, went bankrupt in 2003,
the pension fund seemed
at risk of being abandoned"
"A group of financiers
who wanted to acquire the steel maker
said they did not want the pension plan
and would leave it
in an empty corporate shell"
"either Mr. Rennert
or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
would eventually have to come to its rescue"
"The plan covers about 2,000 workers and retirees"
the government
took the first steps of foreclosing
on Mr. Rennert's holdings"
" The pension agency said
it had calculated that if it had to take over
the abandoned plan,
it would have borne losses of about $94 million"
"In addition, the steelworkers
would have lost part of their benefits
because the federal pension insurance program
has limited coverage"
"The outcome is an unusual
one for the agency"
" Even though WCI Steel was bankrupt,
the Renco Group owns other businesses
and valuable assets,
including Mr. Rennert's house,
that were worth more
than the amount needed
to make the pension fund fully solvent"
"The agency has taken the same action
a few times in the past,
going after a beach house
and other prized possessions
of the financier Carl C. Icahn
in the 1992 bankruptcy of Trans World Airlines"
.
"Renco's decision to assume sponsorship
of this pension plan achieves the outcome
that is in the best interest of all stakeholders,"
see what's possible
