Next you will be advocating a return to the workhouse because you see others as a lower class little better than animals.

These are excellent examples of the old fashioned attitudes that have no relevance in the modern workplace.

It's not a case of myself thinking that this is how it should be, it's how it will be.

I believe that most people, including yourselves, are not aware of how serious the situation is. If we are to have any chance of surviving as a country, you and many other people are going to have to significantly undergo a change in attitude in order to simply survive.

For example, one employer has imposed an extra five weeks holiday a year (unpaid) and largely expects the same amount of productivity.

Of course, this change to a contract of employment could not legally be done without the written agreement of the employee. Were they happy to do so, of course not. Did they sign the documents, yes. Why? Because this prevented even more redundancies.

Can you have imagined this scenario, even a few years ago?

I won't dwell on this, as one day in the future, even though you don't yet know it, you will realise that you have little choice but to adapt.
