labour exploitation
(Translated from Dutch)
"Roland Mack, the 74 year old owner of Europa-Park, has again publicly complained about the work ethic of young workers. The German theme park has been having issues finding staff for a long time. Mack despises youth who only wish to work part-time.
[...]
He concludes that the demands of young employees become more and more absurd. They present "a significant challenge". Phrases like "work-life balance" are not appreciated by the park owner. "I have a problem with work-life balance [as a concept]. If I look back on my career, I've only ever worked 70 or 80 hour weeks".
Employees used to be much more modest, he remarks. Sometimes Mack had no weekend off for weeks."
Gee, I wonder why you're having trouble finding staff!
re: labour exploitation
Who's gonna tell him that you can only (maybe) expect that sort of commitment from people if they share in the ownership and governance of the company?
