My Boss, L.J. Watkins, wants to cut cost because of increased competition from another firm and some changes have already been made. Before these change Watkins Co. had a relatively laid back atmosphere in which supervisors did not frequently push or confront employees that often. Wages were considered low for the area and as a result workers would work overtime to make up for their low pay. They were unsupervised during these overtime hours and reportedly were very productive.
They on the other hand cannot fail to work because they have people looking up to them to provide and support. For the fear to lose their jobs, workers do not speak up, protest or ask for salary raise. Even when the work load increases, workers are forced to work for longer hours without complaining or asking raise for the extra hour they are working. Workers no longer have a say or rights that they can hold to. Many workers fear losing their jobs because of the fact that finding another will be a hustle for them.
If whatever happens in a form of literature is the opposite of what takes place, then the reader just experienced situational irony. "I've quit my job at Donnegan's Plastic Box Company." "....I knew of it when Mr. Donnegan showed me the petition." This would have been least expected from the reader for many reasons. He would believe that Charlie would have gotten a promotion or even a raise because Charlie had saved his manager, Mr. Donnegan, money, and he was also at work every day, unless he had surgery.
All work and no play make a dull person, all play and no work isn't going to pay the bills. This is the classic decision that all have to make in order to balance intellectual and emotional pursuits. The key to happiness is to find that perfect balance between work and play. Intellectual and emotional pursuits go hand in hand in the way that if you spend too much time working and not spending anytime with your friends or having fun you will be physically and mentally drained and less productive at work. The same goes to concentrating all your efforts to emotional pursuits, sure you’ll be mentally better but you’re not making any money.
Mean: 2.7 Question 9: The company is good at communicating. Mean: 2.2 Question 10: You do not fear that you will lose your job. Mean: 2.7 Based on the means for the ten quantitative questions from the survey, it is clear that employees feel that the employees of BIMS do not enjoy working for the company, do not enjoy assigned shifts, do not feel as though desired shifts were fulfilled, do not feel well trained for work, do not feel paid fairly, do not feel as though the supervisor treats them fairly, do not feel the supervisor’s boss is treating the division fairly, and most employees do not feel BIMS is good at communicating in general. Based on these results, it is safe to assume that major changes need to be made at BIMS. In closing it is recommended that BIMS begin to work to improve these various areas within the company.
Stephenie Stevenson Christine Warrington ENG 202 NA 5 November 2013 The story Metamorphosis, demonstrates how we allow every day life to over take us to the point that we change into something that we are unable to identify. Gregror did everything for everyone, but nothing for himself. He didn’t enjoy life because he was too busy working at a job that he hated in order to pay off his parents debts and to take care of the household; while they did nothing to help or to show him any appreciation. This story also show how one can give their all and when they are in need of help those that he or she helped along the way will turn their backs with no regard to you. While I was reading, “Metamorphosis”, it made me view life in a different way, and made me come to a decision of taking time out for myself in order to enjoy every essence of being me, and not neglect myself.
We are not demand-led but led by demand (Maasik). I totally agree with McKevitt’s assessment of the stressfulness of working to pay for these things is contributes to people’s unhappiness or misery. Thinking that having more stuff will make them feel happier is deceptive. Starting my life as a young wife and mother, I worked countless overtime hours to acquire material things, but as my children got older they didn’t remember many of the things I gave them. However, they DID remember that I sleep a lot and was very cranky.
For example each time my husband is deployed I use the work, school and family problems stressors to distract me from worrying about him being in a dangerous mission. Personal stressors are all those events a person gets to experience in life that can be harmful to the person’s wellbeing. Five of my personal stressors that I have identified are bereavement – Although I do not experience death of a friend or a family member everyday, the thought of it stresses me out a lot. Being far from my family members each time the phone rings there is fear of being told that someone died. When my husband is deployed each time the doorbell rings it stresses me because I begin to wonder if someone has brought me bad news.
It is because of this cause, that the people are anticipating insolvency of the social security system. As people are getting more interested in these pensions and these policies, generated by the social security system, the output of each labor is not at all increasing. It is constant. This is because, they know, at the end of the day, they will be provided with proper funds and pensions. And hence, these employees are less interested increasing their own productivity.
The translator is not identified. Dear Dr. Husák, In our offices and factories work goes on, discipline prevails. The efforts of our citizens are yielding visible results in a slowly rising standard of living: people build houses, buy cars, have children, amuse themselves, live their lives. All this, of course, amounts to very little as a criterion for the success or failure of your policies. After every social upheaval, people invariably come back in the end to their daily labors, for the simple reason that they want to stay alive; they do so for their own sake, after all, not for the sake of this or that team of political leaders.
