The Uneven Life

The vast majority of people work for a living. A very few, those who have been born into circumstances of wealth, power, or position have little in common with the average person.

These privileged elites are usually given the freedom to live as they please, consequences of their actions be damned.

If you have any questions about this, you only need to read the latest judicial rulings to see that there is a multi-tier system in place.

You have the money, you can just about get away with anything.

That is now changing, as the electronic leash given everyone to control them is now becoming the whip that cracks the backs of those who flaunt their position.

It's going to be a roller coaster ride for the next few years, but the truth will out.

Call it a revelation.

Going Dutch, Trials of a Wage Slave, first video

I wrote "Going Dutch, Trials of a Wage Slave" after a lifetime of working in various industries.

It would be great to say that all employers are created equal and give their employees decent benefits, good working conditions, and pay them what they're worth.

Unfortunately, the employee, to many companies, is one of the most disposable of assets.

After all, there are plenty of people out on the street who will do the job for less.

If a company made an investment in training someone, why would they throw the employee's abilities and work experience out the door?

Too often it's a matter of short-term 'cost savings'. All done to boost the bottom line, impress investors and raise the stock price. Maybe the boss considers the employee a threat to their position.

In the end, the company usually has problems, but management is rarely to blame.

As long as the investors and upper management get to bail out with a profit, it doesn't matter that the employees lost their jobs and sometimes, their pensions.
