Labor Factor
There is one aspect of the Brandon Profile which I do not yet quite understand. I can recognize it when I see it but I do not understand the dynamic which drives it or makes it comprehensible.The labor-related phenomena which I see as being somehow related are as follows:
- There are entry-level jobs only in this town with very few beyond junior management level. These jobs are fought after in ways which are often quite ruthless.
- There is a tendency to disparage one's predecessor, or to share negative incidents about the predecessor with the new incumbent in a job as a means of ingratiating oneself to the new person.
- People are dismissed or laid off in order to hire a friend or relative.
- Friends or relatives are promoted over the heads of more qualified and more long-term employees, to the point where it becomes discouraging to those left behind.
- Petty rip-offs by employers are very common
- insisting a person come in fifteen minutes ahead and stay fifteen minutes late but not pay for the time
- hiring on a stated income level greater than what is actually paid or stated in the contract, "after the person has been gotten".
- leting all staff go and re-hiring them part time so as not to have to pay benefits.
- reducing shifts or hours so as to force employees to go elsewhere for employment just to make ends meet.
- contracting out or putting staff on pseudo-contract so as to avoid benefits, minimum wage, and work costs (e.g. delivery car maintenance)
