youth and jobs and sacrifices

We were interviewing some youth about employment in low skill/blue collar sectors the other day.

Stories of having to pay 1/3 to 1/2 of your monthly salary just to get/keep a job. Stories of having to prostitute yourself just to get a job.

Other than for the evil middle management that perpetrates these crimes, I can’t see any owner of any major company being happy about the conditions their workers have to face.

The salary you give them is basically halved. That’s why there’s such high job absenteeism, even if you think you’re giving a decent (though still low) salary.

Let alone having all your female workers sexually harassed.

That last point just makes my blood boil.
