80s? 90s?


It seems to me that in most situations, the majority of Americans default to siding with management over labor.

There are many people who will say "they're running a busines" to justify just about any and everything.

I think right now 35% are grads of four-year universities. Those with associates degrees or other certifications (or those simply with hours) brings it to nearly 60%. If I remember correctly.

Even 25 years ago, less than 25% of Americans had four-year degrees.

i agree. its amazing how often management can make horrible decisions, or treat people like shit, but they are still viewed with sympathy because their job is somehow harder than most of the actual work going on in a company.

Is it really all that different than labor insisting that it isn't true that without ownership and management they would have nowhere to work?

THERE IT IS!

Ownership running a charity by employing workers who definitely could never work for another company.

I am not sure about that. I am going back to my earlier post where I feel more give and take could make things work.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

I don't think your post implied that management was running a charity operation for employees.

But before give and take occurs at work, it would be helpful for management and ownership to acknowledge openly their gratitude for their employees. And for MANY employees to acknowledge to themselves that management and ownership has taken risked that they themselves lack the fortitude to do themselves.

How many of you actually manage employees?

/raises hand. It is interesting sitting on both sides of the desk- as an employee and as a mouthpiece for management.

Management sucks.

I was referring to the poster.

We decided to side with management when the concept of "managers" was created. That's kind of the point.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

I do as well, and I can honestly say my perspective of the employer/employee relationship has changed dramatically. The reason I ask is because the original question of this thread is confusing.

I agree that organizational success hinges on the power of the workers. Motivating those workers to agree on what success looks like is the bigger challenge. I believe people on the outside looking in side with managers because they have the more difficult job.

Speaking of the middle class, don't forget all the shows that featured those who weren't so poor.

Guys, "Remington Steele" still airs Sunday at 2P on WWME 23, flagship of the MeTV Network. For the record, when "Remington Steele" initially aired weeknights, the ratings stunk and MeTV removed it from its schedule.

As for "Cannon" & "Kojak" being removed, consider this. MeTV has over 100 classic TV shows in its library now. They would like to air as many different shows as possible and create a rotation of sorts.

For the record, there are different shows coming to MeTV. "Quincy, M.E.", starring the late, great Jack Klugman, "Matlock" with the late, great Andy Griffith and other shows will be debuting on Me in the coming years.

Anyway, I'm a communist, guys.

I rarely troll.

When you yourself or a close co-worker had become part of management

Walt is a wise motherfucker. You were the shop steward at the starch plant, weren't you?

The pride of Scummit !!
