Employers don’t want to solve our problems. If all of our problems were solved, we wouldn’t go to work anymore. Employers would not like that.
So they pay us just barely enough (or less) to string us along that we have no choice but to keep coming back to work everyday.
Because elected officials are above the law until someone decides to blackmail them.
Now you’re just being elitist. True, petrol-fueled cars cannot run without oil. But fediverse CAN run on different things besides linux.
Employees getting apathetic is an indication of burnout. How about HR sits down & discusses with the employee offering a compromise in exchange for quality reliable work. For example offer the employee 4 days on, 3 days off. Or one week on, one week off, and double their pay which would double their morale & retain their loyalty.
