But the pendulum has now moved too far the other way. I have actually witnessed people being openly rude to their employer!!! No matter what a persons financial status, good manners and respect cost nothing- there is no excuse.
Negotiations between the Government and employers' representatives are currently taking place to redress this and, hopefully, create more employment to help the UK out of the current economic crisis.
One idea being mooted is for employees to give up their employment rights in return for employee share ownership tax benefits. This should have the desirable effect of people working for a company rather than against it. How's that for a novel idea!
Ordinary working people have their part to play in the drive towards recovery too. As Mr Cameron says "we are all in this together".

No, it's a way of saying "please come and work for us and don't disappear off to the competition".

So, let's hear your take on the sale of a persons labour then?
As for your last point, it is akin to the age old debate as to what is "bribery" and what is "an incentive".
The salient point is that VM do not only take care of their employees because of legislative requirements.
