Why should you work for yourself?
A question I’m sure many people have asked, but what is the answer.
I just saw a news story on Walmart laying off 11,000 part-time old ladies because they decided to outsource their jobs to a company that has the sole purpose of replacing those ladies with more old ladies to do the same job.
Yes, it is written correctly.
Doesn’t make sense unless Walmart has figured out a way to bring in this company with a cost less than what the people they laid off was costing them.
Which that means the old ladies this outside company has working for them is probably (I’m sure) is now making less than the ones that got laid off.
Walmart also told these old ladies that if they claim discrimination they won’t get their severence pay. Talk about black mail.
In the whole mess of this thing, they are also closing 10 Sam’s Clubs and opening 5 more. Talk about greedy.
So why should you work for yourself? Because the age old ethic of working for a company for 20-40 years and then retiring is gone. Most people work at a job less than 5 years and they are always going where there is more money.
Loyalty is the real problem. Companies don’t care about their workers, just the bottom line. So workers now don’t care about companies because they know they are just a warm body filling a spot that might disappear the next day they come to work without warning.
Working for yourself you at least have choices. You control how you make your money and who is in charge. If you don’t make any money you have no one to blame but yourself. This forces you to drive yourself to success. Working for someone else just gives you a crutch to lean on and give yourself excuses why you aren’t doing in better in life.
Think about yourself. Yes, you have to be selfish working for someone else, because you know the company doesn’t give a rat’s ass about your well being. If you get a chronic illness do they comfort you? Tell you that you will always have a job there because you have be so loyal to them and worked so hard? If you have to quit because of that chronic illness do they even give you a farwell party?
If you answer yes, then you need to realize it was the other employees not the company.
You know the only thing Walmart gave all those old ladies when they laid them off? The only option they got was a box of tissues when they walked into the room to get shit canned.
