Download The End of Loyalty: The Rise and Fall of Good Jobs in America AudioBook Free
Having a good, stable job used to be the bedrock of the American dream. Any longer. Within this richly in depth and eye-opening e book, Rick Wartzman chronicles the erosion of the partnership between American companies and their workers. Through the tales of four major employers - Basic Motors, Basic Electric, Kodak, and Coca-Cola - he shows how big businesses once had taken responsibility for providing their workers and retirees with a range of social benefits. At the level of the post-World Conflict II economy, these companies also believed that staff member pay would have to be kept high in order to protect morale and keep the economy humming. Efficiency boomed. However the corporate social agreement didn't last. By tracing the fluctuations of these four corporate symbols over 70 years, Wartzman illustrates just how much has been lost: job security and steadily rising pay, guaranteed pensions, robust health advantages, plus much more. Charting the Golden Era of the '50s and '60s, the turbulent many years of the '70s and '80s, and the development of downsizing, outsourcing, and instability in the modern time, Wartzman's narrative is a biography of the American dream removed sideways. Deeply explored and convincing, The End of Commitment can make you rethink how Us citizens can commence to resurrect the middle class.
