A key and necessary ingredient to a successful company is growth.

growth in what?

productivity. and you can do this by reducing headcount and making
people 'work harder'.

Growth is
not possible
without the contributions of qualified and competent employees. Profit
optimization is also key and automation may replace people for some jobs,
but overall the health and future prosperity of a company is largely
dependent on it's employees and growth means more of them. Any honest
business owner knows this. For any product or service there is an ideal $$
in revenue per employee ratio to strive for.

or you j ust make 'em work longer hours, no vacation etc

americans already work 20% more than any other country in the
industrialized world. american workers have been sold a bill of goods
so long they honestly believe it

the social democracies of europe are just as rich as we are. they have
more vacation and universal healthcare

but our rich folks are richer than their rich folks. and to the right
wing, that's the only thing that matters


That's where the current economic geniuses in Washington have missed the
boat while they have their noses stuck in their textbook reviews of
Keynesian economics. Contrary to popular current opinion, not all business
is bad and growing businesses create jobs.

for businesses to grow you need people to spend

people only spend if they have a good income and feel secure in their
jobs

how's that working out?
