The American Worker - Dogbert is
Woefully Wrong!
In spite of the American worker as being the most productive (overworked) in the
world there is a cult and culture of management that looks upon the
American worker as objects for disrespect and exploitation. The level
of insult to the American worker is arrogantly, boldly and joyfully
expressed
in Scott Adams' popular management book,
" Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook " . Adams writes in
section 1.13, "....there is a tool for leaders (managers) like you
too; it's called lying (to and about employees)" and he then goes
on to say "there
is no risk" for doing so.
Advocating lying to and about people
is outrageous, shocking and stupid that can often lead to serious legal
ramifications. Throughout the book the employee is looked upon and to
be treated with the highest form of shameless contempt. Adams' attempt
to put a satirical face on this workplace problem clearly fails. The
message to management is that this is" how we do it" is a message that
clearly comes through Dogbert. The advocacy of arrogance, disrespect
and ill-will towards employees in this work is beyond belief. The book's
broad appeal to management says enough in itself. But the Adams' work
is only the symptom of the problem.
The Problem: Plain and Simple
You've reached an age where you are just not worth
keeping on the job any longer. The company's promises whether written,
oral or implied are all broken that if you do your job you will be able
to retire. Or the company just hired you out of school after many promises
and they "used" you for a few years to get their project done and now
decide to dump you without the promises being kept. But age discrimination
and misrepresentation are just few of the many areas companies are involved
in when it comes to violating the law. Termination for pregnancy is
very common along with sexual discrimination
and coercion in promotion. Harassment and intimidation to making
you quit is widespread. Fraud , misrepresentation
and
forgery are more common than ever.
All these forms of
violence and unlawful activity
can be easily prevented, overcome and stopped once you know what can
be done and how to do it. You have powerful legal rights that are lawfully
protected.
What About Your Rights?
Many employers will tell you and want you to believe that you have no
civil or constitutional rights once you become their employee as one
of America's largest cookie companies claimed in Federal court in a
1998 employee civil rights case. They lost that argument. Can you imagine
that? The arrogance? You probably have their cookies in your cupboard.
They will cite the doctrine of "At-Will-Employment" and say to you "see";
"you have no rights." Well that is only a small part of the story.
In most cases you have no right to a secure job
unless you have a written employment
contract. Without a contract you are considered a "at-will-employee".
That often means you can be let go from your job at any time for no
reason - period! There are many little known and non-publicized powerful
state and federal legal exceptions to the "doctrine of at-will-employment"
and many other protections available. For a more detailed look at those
rights and additional information regarding them visit the site and
review the book
"Defending Your Employee Rights" The
book details the law, the strategy and tactics you can use to protect
yourself from wrongful actions by individuals in companies, managers,
and supervisors whenever they try to "set you up" for a illegal termination.
The book details how you can turn their tactics and psychological ploys
against them in a way that gives you so much power that most of them
will be terminated by their own companies for violating the law and
getting themselves and their company into a deep and serious legal predicament
that they can't escape from. This is some the most important information
you can find and is the only book of it's kind.
Pretense and Tactics Used to Terminate Workers
by Employers.
As we see in Adams' book his advocacy of lying
to and about employees and that it's OK to do so leads these managers
to employ a whole host of acts.
These are just a few:
- You have been doing a great job all these years
and then get a false poor performance review by a new supervisor.
- You get called in and told the company is reorganizing
and your position has been eliminated.
- You are given a new job that does not use the
skills you have and told that you don't know how to do the job.
- They just relocated a select seniority or age group large group of employees far from their homes just to force them to quit (clever-happens often)
- You are called and told you've been terminated
for harassing a co-worker.
- Your boss keeps making you work long hours,
weekends and gives you unrealistic deadlines.
- Your boss is bullying you and threatens to
fire you for no good reason at all.
- Your supervisor makes comments with sexual overtones
or are pressured to date them
- Your manager makes disparaging remarks about
your race, nationality or religion.
- Your superior makes hostile or intimidating
comments.
- You have developed an illness or disability
and are terminated shortly thereafter
- You are pregnant and all of a sudden you are
terminated under some false pretense.
You are in the process of being setup so they
can terminate you. Is there anything you can do?
Yes! There is much you can do. Build a case and use the Law! How do
you do that?

FROM
THE BOOK
AND WHAT IS MORE INSIDE
Almost every meeting that concerns management and
employees that raise possible legal issues are held with the employers
legal interface the personnel or human resource person. This person
is there for a number of reasons. HR gets paid to help companies be
profitable by managing its personnel. HR tries to provide cost efficient
and effective personnel to meet the company's goal for the bottom line.
Personnel managers know if they fail to do what they were hired for
that they will get fired. Sometimes it means they must tacitly ignore
and violate the legal and ethical boundaries set forth in the employer-employee
relationship. Personnel often acts as judge and jury when it comes to
employee related issues. Their judgment calls on average are marginal
at best. That means often they are wrong but the employee just doesn't
know it. Too often management violates the law and personnel or HR ignores
it. Other times is does not. Some HR managers in a corporate culture
that will not tolerate management violating the law and side with the
employee. Those managers are a rare and dying breed given the goals
they are charged with today by corporate management. Many personnel
managers are good at what they do but, as the book reveals there are
many that just don't know their jobs well enough because they just don't
stay abreast with the most recent court rulings and will find themselves
in court with the employee. They often make serious legal mistakes that
favor the employee but the average employee cannot recognize or take
advantage of their mistakes". The book points out many of the most common
mistakes employers and their management make every day. Once you recognize
the mistakes and take advantage of them, their fraudulent attempts to
terminate you will backfire on them legally and the employee gets fairness
and justice". The book helps to show you how to spot these mistakes
and use them effectively and often getting the persons and the involved
terminated.
