The worst are the ones that employ, pay money, and provide benefits

What? Like vacations, health insurance, life insurance, 401k matches. Didn't know that could even happen in a country like ours. Thanks for the enlightening.Bentleyspop said:

My father worked hard and loyally for one of those lovely corporations. When things got a little tough for a few years, however, they cut him (and many others like him) loose 11 months shy of his 25 year anniversary, stripping him of his chance for full retirement and benefits.mrussel1 said:

Corporations- aren't they lovely and so loving toward their faithful! If you believe that..."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
I heard from many people that their jobs that once paid well, had good benefits and retirement are now laying off, gutting pay, raising the price of insurance, and getting rid of 401(k) and retirement programs. I work for a successful company that wouldn't offer us retirement or 401(k) Programs. Nor did they offer life insurance. They encouraged working along hours into the weekends and not taking holidays off.Bentleyspop said:

My niece who graduated college a year ago had to settle for a job that offered no benefits. While family said that she shouldn't take it, it was either that or working at a thruway stop for minimum wage. She recently got a better job with benefits but she had to negotiate to get a living wage to live in an expensive city where the job was.
Do you call that successful for the worker? It is far from it.0 -
People should be more supportive of unions/protecting workers' rights (no, I don't mean the fucked up corrupt unions, which are a small minority).With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

I was in the Teamsters Union years ago. I don't know what they're up to today but back then, they were great. They help me get off a mandatory 6 day work week which was great because only one day of totally sucked!PJ_Soul said:People should be more supportive of unions/protecting workers' rights (no, I don't mean the fucked up corrupt unions, which are a small minority).

For every anecdote, there is a counter one. That's why we have data to make decisions, not stories.
And a Corp with more than 100 employees that doesn't offer a401k is unusual. It's usually only because not enough non execs committed to joining. There are laws which are designed to prevent the 401k from being simply an outlet for the wealthy to get a tax break.0 -

I am about 4 years younger than Hillary Clinton. If she wins, we will have a very old president.mrussel1 said:
