The Hamster wheel
You are free to get off
A lot of noise has been made recently due to the earning announcements from various banks; the complaints revolving around their high earnings, and low salaries, due to their use of contract staff.
People seem to want businesses to be “fair”; sadly, that’s not how labour, or the world works.
First, what is fairness? In your personal dealings, when you make choices — more often in what you believe to be in your best interests — are you always fair?
For-profit businesses are so for a reason; they’ll move costs in the direction of least-expense to optimise profit; to expect anything more would be you projecting, with little information.
You might not like that people “are subjected” to these conditions, and that’s fine — it’s not about you.
The labour market is like a hamster wheel, constantly moving, yet going nowhere, but you can choose to get off, if it doesn’t serve your interests.
