Professor warns of how bosses act like dictators

[@justgivemethetruth]

This lady is brilliant and her political views right on! I am totally surprised to see this on FOX News of all places. Not only are private companies like dictators, but the way profits and taxes are done - we have to pay exorbitant prices to companies that are like taxes so that private companies can buy up and exert even more control over the government through regulatory capture, etc.

[@CosmoShidan]

It's more like, private companies ARE dictatorships.

[@heathweather5995]

people with power are bullies.

And she all so had us doing her made her work..she was getting her rock off by doing that. I had to quit. are so one was going to jail !

[@mspixiedust100]

+Perverted Liberals the thing is they can do it if it's not EEOC protected classes. That should change.

[@DBCisco]

In Pennsylvania, employees have no rights. "An Employer/Boss can do anything short of physical violence to employees". I just verified that in Court, that was the Judges documented denial of a 'hostile work environment' claim against an employer. Welcome to the new USSR.

[@monkeygraborange]

"...how bosses act like dictators" True in the case of every single fucking woman who sits in the CEO chair.

[@CosmoShidan]

Something to really think about, on the one hand you have authority, the right to command others, and on the other hand autonomy, the right to self-command oneself. Bosses have the right to have command over the worker, and the worker has the right to command themselves. So how exactly is the authority of the boss consistent with the autonomy of the worker?

[@justgivemethetruth]

This is great! Wow .... the USA really needs a total attitude adjustment on how we do business and life.

[@draj8590]

She is right

[@katme8055]

In corporations workers wear trackers, are told they must sleep at work if snow is coming. Can't take sick days off unless worker finds a replacement worker.

[@wendyhall222]

I can think of some past bosses that are dictators...that's all I am going to say!

[@Grand1Admiral]

Well even if I walked off the job I could remember the exact specs of what ever I was working on

[@RatPfink66]

ITC lots and lots of proud bootlickers. America will stay strong.

I don't know about sandwich making as a skill set, but ok. I work very hard at what I do, never complain, always early to work, never call in sick, get along with everyone, yet, there are bosses, especially women bosses who think it's ok to intimidate employees, and to make their lives miserable. I've had many of them, they actually think by intimidating employees, employees will respect them and that will raise productivity. It actually does the opposite, employees lose respect for them, they do the bare minimum work, and in the end they end up quitting. I have always found that when the boss isn't there things go smoother, the atmosphere in the office is calm, and employees are much happier, and more productive. Whenever I'm in this type of an environment, I always assess, the pay, and if it's worth getting stressed out for a small hourly pay, I don't want to get depressed, and unhappy either. Yes, I rather quit, because to me my health and happiness comes before any pay, especially if the pay is low. These bosses know very well how hard it is out there for employees to get jobs, and they take full advantage of it! Yes, I hate bosses, there are some nice ones, but they're a rarity these days. Most bosses nowadays are uneducated, they have no people skills, and are socially retarded, oh yes, and INSECURE and PARANOID, shit starters. They create a toxic environment in the job environment, this creates a culture of employees who just don't care, they do the bare minimum and get paid for it, because there is nothing in that place for them.

[@ocvegasproperty]

I call bullshit on her non-compete. You legally can't stop someone from working. Non-competes for sandwich workers...lol. Complete nonsense. You can't steal clients and information and go to a competitor but most employees can leave to a competitor, especially at any level below senior management.

[@theauklet]

Jack Kerouac It's very hard, and costly, for a former employer to actually enforce a non-compete. Few bother.

[@dievallaveid8661]

A bit late to the Party, this has been growing for decades all over the Corporate World!!

[@Stormrunner0002]

10 percent of a companies employees account for roughly 80% of the profit. Is it any wonder they try to increase the ratio? Do they even know the ratio exists?

[@rapidrrobert4333]

Explains Trump's maladministration, doesn't it?

[@sharonjuniorchess]

If she was talking about companies operating around the world then she is right there are in some countries major violations of worker rights. The normal process is to have laws that protect workers from abusive employers. But employment is a contract between employer & employee. Whilst it is true that some large companies have grown so large they dwarf countries and are in effect more powerful than some governments the vast majority of companies around the globe employ just a few workers. I think she needed to qualify her statements more carefully because she is giving a distorted view of reality which seems more political (especially in the words she was using). The companies she was talking about would probably be more suited to employing robots than people. Non compete clauses are about finding the balance between protecting the employers IP & investment in employee training vs employee rights of free movement between jobs & companies not training their workers but poaching staff from those that do.

[@Mr-gk6cy]

Yo i hate this bald guy already but of course bosses are like dictators they are your boss if you are mistreated report it you have human rights

[@jameswoodard8414]

This is Bull Shit !!!! you go to WORK to do a JOB not Talk on your Phone , Hang Out Ect . If you dont want to work dont , but do not think you should get Paid Just because your there ....

[@mspixiedust100]

+Perverted Liberals it's definitely an issue. insidious, because unless it can be proven to be related to age, race, etc, they can bully all they want.

[@brenden9758]

That's not woman Bazel that's a man!

[@Bella-cz6od]

My daughter is a professor....where did I go wrong? 😂😂😂

[@lloydpowell3374]

I am retired now, but I remember when I worked I walked in on my boss. He had his pants down and had a potato stuck on the end of his tallywacker. He looked up at me and said, " Look, I'm a dicktator"!

[@mysnellvilleblog]

Lloyd Powell time to whip out a knife & make some julienne fries

[@alphamike9560]

I think she makes it up as she goes along- If you dont like the job, leave and go somewhere where they are nicer.

[@PaPaPeeMD]

I AGREE, JUST ASK YRC TRUCKERS

[@bigguy6597]

Wow crazy 😜

[@neoepicurean3772]

How strange, just an hour ago I commented on a video of undercover factory work in the UK at JD Sports. Then I did my studies and read Anderson's 'What is the point of equality?' and I found myself completely disagreeing with her. So I decided to see if there was any interviews with her on here, and I find her saying the complete antithesis of what I said about the UK factory and hour ago. I guess we really do disagree. If you don't want a shitty job, get educated, get skilled and don't work a shitty job. If you can't get educated, or lack the ability to become skilled, be thankful that there are shitty jobs that will provide you with an income. No one gives you a guarantee that life will be equal and easy.

[@bleu2680]

By "be thankful", do you mean that you shouldn't complain about abuse? This is a terrible argument anyway because these jobs NEED to be done. It's no safety net and people are unjustly punished for doing what you think is so far below you.

[@davemartin5605]

Mine are

[@robbybarclay5509]

You let these bosses do this shit to you.. grow a pair and stand your ground

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

Employees are free to quit their jobs, with or without notice. You can always vote with your feet. How about starting your own business?

[@ocvegasproperty]

Bosses are bosses. They are dictators. Deal with it as they pay you! It's not a democracy because you work for them! If you don't like it get another job! Love, the Boss

[@ocvegasproperty]

Anakin Skywalker I would make a decision as to if they are paying me enough to put up with that shit and quit if the money wasn't worth it.

[@ocvegasproperty]

Perverted Liberals sure, it has to be legal treatment but in today's snowflake society people think their work is a democracy and bosses can't demand performance....

[@johnlecoque9516]

Fuck the bosses. They produce nothing of value, only leeching off of the productivity of others. Labor can get along fine without bosses... but bosses would be dead without labor.

[@JohnMark-yh4br]

If the bosses violates your constitutional rights as an employee then go to court.

[@ocvegasproperty]

John LeCoque hahaha. That's funny. Bunch of workers doing what? Working for whom? Who pays these people that don't need bosses?

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

She seems kind of bossy herself.

[@salvatorepluchino4453]

Oh god now bosses can’t boss people anymore, oh ok 👌 global elites

[@neoepicurean3772]

I study philosophy and I just had to read an article, which I totally disagreed with. It was written by this woman. She has some really stupid ideas. She thinks that if a non-insured driver was drunk and made an illegal turn, causing an accident with an innocent driver, then if both were seriously injured and there was only one hospital bed available, they have an equal claim. Er, no.
