I have found that once your 1 step above direct involved managers, the owner often treats employees not as independent equally respectable human beings, but children that should be grateful they have been offered the opportunity to work at all.
This leads to a complete disconnect between the work, it's difficulty, wages, and the cost of living in the area.
They often have high turnover rates or just don't offer enough money to make it worth it and never ever learn. They always pull a principle skinner "no, it's the children who are wrong" mentality.
Are there problems on the employee side of things, yes.
but I have worked quite a few places, direct manager and co-workers often appreciate the work I do. But they don't have the power to set my wages, hire, or fire. That lies with the owner above them who is almost always completely disconnected from operations.
I've ran across those as well. One local place has a position that's been open for quite some time, but they refuse to pay anything more than warehouse wages for a technical job. The owner has declared the wage is what it is, and it shall forever remain open.
You think the owners are bad? The children of the owners are the hugest pieces of shit. Fucking spoiled cunts. They think what daddy made is theirs. I talked to this female, teenaged bitch on the phone because I wanted a job at a bakery when I was younger, and she had an attitude like a thrice-used asshole. Fucking dumb whore. They're paying minimum wage but think you should kiss their feet. Go to hell, piece of shit rich kids.
