The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL) The KGB Back Room Employee's Strike Back....

I just want to say that I think your analogy is wrong Squared, at least depending on who's perspective that is really stated from.

Your workforce, your employee's are the brain of the cooperate machine, they are the ultimate architects of fate, you have to factor in the human equation, we pay the bills, we get the job done, without us the stomach isn't full, and unfortunately we make the choices too which ultimately means if you are being screwed by your job that's because some asshole is doing the screwing. Just as Tas states;



If your original statement stands Squared then why would a company project such a diverse, caring, and equal persona if it is a simple machine without feelings? No I think companies are just as flawed as those operating them, and that many seek to do the injustices that they are accused of intentionally and then cover it all up as a paper work glitch, or some normal cog of big business slip up just to see how much they really can get away with.

I have had jobs where I was "cross trained" or I was a "specialist" which is to say I got paid for one job but filled multiple roles. In my last job as a Broadband technical specialist I didn't just troubleshoot technical issues over the phone no, I handled marketing, sales, billing, appointments, services. Guess what i got paid for doing all of that?



8.00 hr

IMHO that is not a fair market value for handling areas of business that most would consider separate departments from one another, or areas where the pay is usually much more substantial.

HR's are used as a cooperate muscle now, they are the brain washing agents of the company, the propaganda they spew is direct from the company and the company uses them as a employee spy. Anyone foolish enough to actually go to HR for a personal reason or to seek help will find themselves receiving lower wage increases, more managerial scrutiny, a worse work schedule, overtime, more work load, less seniority for vacation time, or time off, poorer ratings or scores on evaluations.

I was friends with a guy who worked in HR when I was with IBM and he asked me once, "Dux if you don't like something about your job why don't you talk to someone from my department?" Then I answered his question with a question, (typical of me) "Steve, where does your paper work, or reports go?"

He said "to my boss, why?"

I said "where from there?"

"to his boss"

"...and who from there?"

Then it dawned on him.

and that's why I don't go down and "ask" for "help" from HR. Because your pay checks are signed by the same company I work for.
