100000% absolutely OP nailed it
Used to be that a man got a job, was well taken care of by a company who appreciated his hard work and incentivized him staying at whatever company that was for his entire work life 30+ years and then retiring
Now its meetings meetings and more meetings berating, belittling and screaming how replaceable you are.....
Who are you likely to work harder and longer for? The boss/company that treats you like a king or that makes you feel like a replaceable slave? Who are you going to stay late for and be there for when that "emergency" in the company eventually happens?
It all about the shift to technology. What did most companies have before 401k? My Grandfather worked for 30+ years at Publix. That's what it is, a pension.
But as a younger generation, the pension was doomed for failure. How do you expect as a company (not the government) to pay for people who aren't working anymore?
Now Social Security, is government controlled and we pay into. Now if that collapses, talk about riots.
But pensions never could last. It was a pie in the sky theme.
As an individual company. You can't afford to pay people who are doing anything for your company.
The government is different they are taking our many, and doing whatever they want with it. With the promise that you'll get a monthly sum, based on the salary and the number of years that you've worked.
401k, fucking bitcoin.....IRA's. It's just something that companies do to gain off of what you gain.
It's all bullshit, I'm waiting for the day that whoever the President is, announces that they are ending Social Security.
Yet they are trillions in debt, and literally print Monopoly money.
