So after excessive background checks and such, it still looks like employers don't trust their employees to do their daily jobs well hence such stringent measures. A bit extreme and just not necessary. Really worrying.
- csours 11y agoThis would indicate to me that they don't trust their managers to manage.
- a3n 11y agoNeither one of these is true. The software and systems are intended to do exactly what they're doing, driving people to their limits until they break. There will always be people coming up behind to replace them, and the broken people do not cost the employer anything.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoa3n is spot on. This is called an externality in capitalism: an effect of something that benefits them which becomes someone else's problem. Businesses focused on bottom line try to do anything they can to get more revenue or reduce costs. They don't care about the impact unless it impacts them and for more than the gains. Plus, with existing labor practices, there's plenty of people desperate for a job to scrape by on their bills despite what they endure on the job. Add the fact that many companies are doing it and it's like a self-reinforcing system. The companies peddling this surely know about this. They don't care: avoiding it would hurt their sales pitch. And they too focus just on the bottom line.
- csours 11y agoSorry for the late reply. So, for this to be true, these systems would have to drive training costs (and other hiring costs) to 0. Is this your contention? I'm not disagreeing, just looking for more discussion.
