Not if you're actually a skilled worker no. If you're a seat filler, you betcha they won't treat you well. Your value as a worker is directly commensurate with how difficult it is to replace you.
I disagree. In a monopolized environment, cronyism and cozying to the right people is what gets you ahead. your actual skill or productivity is irrelevant.
A company has to be worried about losing you to their competitors in order to give a shit about your productivity. if they know they are the only one that you can work for, there's no incentive for them to treat you well.
You just described a union. Kissing ass, cronyism, etc. Unions in a nutshell.
indeed I did. the people you have to suck up to might change, but the result is mostly the same. the difference is one has to at least pretend that your safety and well-being are their top priority.
That side isn't the unions dude. They're there to take your money and launder it.
The person who will look out for you is you.
Nobody is hard to replace, new replacements are coming by the thousands every day.
Which is of course an argument for bet zero immigration allowance, but that's not the point. Jose and Mugumbo aren't replacing skilled workers.
Yes they are, there's nowhere left to run and the way I see it I'll probably end up dead on the street eventually when I'm unable to find work.
They're certainly not replacing me. My profession is still about 80% White and 10% Asian.
