In the age of the Worker Widget, people are just “resources”. They can be hired when work needs to be done or laid off when profits need to rise.
Sure, bloated businesses may need to lay off workers, but that doesn’t mean it was right to hire them with that mentality in the first place.
It would pay for American business management to read Deming’s book Out of the Crisis. When number crunching managers think the solution to their crisis is to send their employees into their own personal crisis, that’s wrong. They justify it by saying “we have to think of others”. Yes, perhaps so, but they should have thought of that before.
The 14 points of Deming’s Management strategy lead to an environment that fosters life time employment instead of considering employees as “resources” to the thrown away as necessary.
The deadly diseases of “management” that violate Demings’ principles are one of the main reasons for the systematic decimation of the Middle Class. It’s sickening really and the reason I hope to be something of a “Small Business Advocate” … our society needs to change. We do indeed need to Rebuild Christian (or at least “humane”) society!
Rant ended for now.
