Due to over regulation, excessive lawsuits, and poor work ethic in the United States many companies are changing the way they do business. Some are considering doing business thru subsidiaries with the corporate headquarters over seas somewhere. Others are considering merging with an over seas company or outsourcing most of their operations off shore in other nations with less regulation. Some companies are considering going private. The worst new trend we see is companies laying off their workforce and going robotic. They feel this is necessary because there are too many regulations from OSHA to employment law. Too many lawsuits for hiring procedures, sexual misconduct and pay issues are also another complaint. There are lawsuits over under funded pensions, health care insurance, 401K programs, benefits, overtime, holidays, vacation time or because the person is gay, straight, black, white, gray, purple or pink? You know this is a real problem in America. Then there is the issues of workers not actually working hard or trying or performing, some refuse to show up on time, always using the Unions to shield them from being reprimanded, some executives say it is pure extortion, even as the Unions claim the execs are over paid and ripping of the company blind. Well whatever the reasons are and we have already identified a few, it makes the case for companies in many industries to go fully automated and robotic. Some robots now are even being programmed to make decisions to replace the executives. So no one is safe. In other words if you really are scared you might lose your job, well that is one fear which is absolutely justified, think on all this. |
