Quote From: nooyawkgurrlI'll tell you why I think a corporate office wouldn't take action:
1. They don't really care about people, just numbers, stats, and revenue.
2. To take action would be to acknowledge that there is a problem and give validation to the complainer, something they do not want to do.
3. The person being complained about is either generating major revenue (which, again, is all that seems to matter) or may be in a position to reveal things about company practices that may be considered "less than ethical."
Ask yourself:
What does the company stand to lose by addressing the issue, and do you think the company is willing to risk losing it? Do they stand to lose more by addressing the problem or do they stand to gain by continually ignoring it? What might be thier agenda? Ask yourself those questions and you will most likely come up with your answers as to why nothing gets done about the problem.
These days, it seems that there is a prevalance of the business philosophy that sees it's employees as "cogs in the wheels of the bigger corporate machine" -- and when a cog gets squeaky or stuck, they'd rather throw it out and replace it with a new one... it's cheaper than redesigning the original blueprint and rebuilding a new machine altogether.
You did the right thing by quitting... no job is worth risking your health or your sanity over.
This is a pretty good description about how a lot of corporations function. Corporations today operate on very short-sighted strategies. If they make a little more money now, they don't care if the boat sinks 10 years from now. This is one of the reasons that the stock market will plummet and many stocks such as Citibank are close to a 52 week low.
The people who run the corporations think they are God's and don't pay any attention to their employees or even their customers feedback.
