Wait, this article is very confusing. It seems to be implying that the usual course of action for a company when one of their production units workers isn’t meeting their quota being “productive” isn’t to simply fire them on the spot. I’ve always been under the impression that if I am not in perfect body or mind 24/7/365 (because being a junior level programmer also means you have to be on-call, all the time), I’m out on the street and on my ass, and that “job security” is something that only upper management and C-levels can hope to ever have even faint dreams or aspirations of.
This isn’t the case? People are actually entitled to “job security” at some point in their life? I can catch influenza one year, and if I’m too sick to get out of bed and coughing up blood, I wont have my immune system become a liability that would get me fired/laid off/downsized on the spot for failing to meet my daily quota? I can ask for a raise after working for fifteen years at minimum wage and not have my job eliminated through a Temporary Foreign Worker program? I can turn off my phone for a quiet night with my significant other and not turn up to work the next day to find my desk and workplace possessions ejected from the nearest window, splattered on the ground in a million splinters, with a bill attached for damages and a pink slip stapled to it?
Wow. What a wondrous world we live in. I had no idea that the plutocrats captains of industry were so charitable!
