Changing Corporate Culture

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses employers' psychological advantage over their employees in the area of job security, at a time when when there are massive layoffs in every sector. The paper also discusses how longer hours and averted overtime pay ruins employee morale and shows how executives are only looking out for their own financial gains. The paper then addresses the scenario of a corporate merger, and how it can lead to divisions within the company and disgruntlement amongst employees.

From the Paper:

"Corporate culture, now more than ever, is constantly changing because there is so much movement in the business world. Employees do not know if the company that they are working for will go under in the near future, or if their bosses will decide to keep them around for a long time. Employees are also left feeling very insecure about their jobs because they do not trust their superiors. Those in charge are often only worried about their own pocket books and do not seem to care how the employees do financially. This has made corporate culture much different than it used to be. The corporation and the worker used to act together to bring stability to both, but that is no longer the case because there is so much movement internally and externally. There is no longer any trust between workers and their corporations, which has led to many problems within the work environment. Corporate cultures are always changing and the business world is more competitive than ever, so these issues will continue on well into the future."
