We have all been listening to many different ideas
and theories about workers right, job rights, and employment
privileges. Now I have worked all my life in all kinds of jobs, and I
have been an employer of a small and then a 20 million a year
business with 65 employees where their capacity and honesty could
make or break the business. Here is my
take on it, a job is one great responsibility and privilege. It
comes
with lots and lots of obligations and the greatest obligation as a
worker
is to make a profit for your employer. Make a profit and you will
always have a paying job, when your job does not make money
eventually
your job will end.
Let us take the furthers most removed job I can
think of and see if my point can be made. A college professor, generally believes themselves removed from profit
and a seeker of
truth not tainted by the wicked profit motive. Why is there a demand
for a
professors knowledge? As a general postulate, it is to train or
educate someone else to become educated so they may aspire to a
better job and a higher status, a more rewarding life, which translated
means a higher paying job.
Now as soon as the professors knowledge
does not produce the desired results, the professors market value
will decline. If they fail to produce better opportunities for their
students, eventually this will lead to enrollment decline and the
money for funding ends and their jobs terminate. All jobs which do
not help
to produce profits are subsidies, leading toward eventual poverty,
not TV poverty or false poverty, poverty where you are
homeless, carless, and hopeless.
Many years ago when I first became an
employer I was liberal and naive. The first time I fired someone I
was week kneed
and scared. Nevertheless, I fired the incompetent and it improved
the rest of the workers efforts and our bottom line. Their jobs were
more secure because I had purged the slacker. As I ran multiple
businesses I came to realize how vapid and weak our educational
system was about our economy and the source of our fabulous success
and prosperity. By demanding high performance and profits a person
is doing more for job security, opportunity, and prosperity than any
politician can ever do!
Do you want to keep your job and
do you like
continuous cash flow? Make your employer a profit. Do you want a
job? Tell your prospective employer you will make them a profit and
mean it. Your future will be bright, and cash flow will always be
yours.
