The Huffington Post on 'How Corporate America Is Turning Into a Cult'


The Huffington Post on 'How Corporate America Is Turning Into a Cult'

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING:


"How Corporate America Is Turning Into a Cult and Why It's Harming the American Employee", by Ruth Whippman. The Huffington Post. November 24, 2012.

Two key points from this article:

1) "Over the last decade or so, a growing disconnect has developed between the bizarre and almost cult-like rhetoric and practices that companies use with their staff, and the increasingly grim reality of being an employee in modern day Corporate America."

2) "It would seem that the more Corporate America demands cult-like devotion from its employees the worse it is able to treat them, and the less likely they are to complain. Yet given that the vast majority of Americans stand to lose rather than gain from this type of relationship, it is worth injecting a bit of healthy scepticism back into our assessment of our employers' motives. Now that really would be empowering."
