Inequality and Workplace

Office Space

VIDEO AT THE END OF READING. To beging in New York City especially outer boroughs like Brooklyn and The Bronx where are primarily Hispanic and African American. I did an interview with Mrs. Mary a mother of a close friend who is a city worker and has firsthand experience in how people who want to be their end up being stuck in a place or career that isn’t what it was all hyped up to be or what the thought would be. By that she means that more often than not people who are exceptional at their jobs get overlooked for promotions or are often not rewarded for the hard work they do which in turn causes low employee morale.

As per her statement she said that not only are people these days stuck in a dead-end position where you might have originally have thought that you would grow and be a better person but have instead settled for what they have and take a paycheck instead. This being that management doesn’t value employees and in turn causes low employee morale and discouragement. Mary states that all the things that happen in the work place and in school’s cause there to be a disconnect between what politicians say and what should be happening therefore causing distrust between the people in charge and the public meaning us the people looking from the outside in. based on our conversation

Marie expressed so much sadness that was heartening because its true and these things happen every day. People work very hard to be their best self and instead are rewarded with more work ow wages and worst of all no praise for making the work place better and I mean it doesn’t have to happen every day but the fact that it doesn’t can mean that people are just there for a paycheck instead of to help people and help themselves grow. You get a mix of people who are resigned to subordination and doing the minimum possible, and a more ambitious, careerist set who will work hard but only if it benefits their long-term aspirations-- they want to escape subordinate status. The only middle ground exists in a mentor/protege relationship, and that's damn rare. Other than that, everyone good is looking to become better, and people who want to be better are innately insubordinate and, if nothing else, "flight risks" or "job hoppers" compared to the corporate loyalist expectation that people pay their dues and stay. The second problem is that most of the things people do in the work world aren't worth doing-- they provide little actual business value, and they don't make people happier-- but there's no good feedback process and information doesn't flow up the chain. People know when they're assigned to pointless projects, but no one is going to say it, because people who speak up about such things just get canned. Also, someone explained to me very well why the CEO job is hard. You have access to all sorts of information and people will bend over backward to help you make your decisions, but they're all fucking lying to you. A LITTLE CARTOONISH VIDEO DEPICTING WHAT I DISCUSSED BUT MORE ENJOYABLE.

In Conclusion, I just want to stress that team work and inclusion is everyone’s responsibility. But, most of all its our civic duty to hold companies responsible for how we are treated. If you enjoy reading my material feel free to hit the subscribe button right next to the book online tab.
