Who Will Buy Goods and Services?

Reorganize, restructure, streamline - corporations and organizations use many names for it. They claim it is to ensure things run smoothly without waste, and people are held accountable for their contribution to the business or organization. Nobody is to lose their position and everything will be "better" once they are done. Bottom line is this - people do lose jobs and the ones that are still employed end up doing the work of at least two people.  Money is saved by the corporation, which results in bigger profits for them and their share holders. What I want to know is this - how big of a profit is enough? At what point do they realize that what they are doing will only destroy them in the end?

Not all corporations are operating in this manner. There are several large corporations that do what will benefit not only them, but those who work for them. They treat their employees well, and in doing so are able to keep knowledgeable, experienced people. They realize that it takes a joint effort for success. If employees are treated fairly, and know they have an interest in the success of the company, they will put forth their best efforts.

Many large businesses are missing the boat. I find it difficult to understand how they cannot see the big picture. If they don't treat their employees with fairness and dignity, then how can they expect loyalty from them. And if you can't get employees to support your vision because they feel that they are not valued, how can you expect to even stay in business.

In the end, if people lose their jobs and can't find other employment, then they certainly cannot buy goods or services. And if your goods or services cannot be sold then your business will fold and nobody will make any money. Seems to be a pretty simple concept, and I don't know why they cannot grasp it.

So if you're out there listening big business......it's time to start doing the right thing. If you do then everybody prospers and we are all winners.
