A good way to tell if a company has ever been shitty to their employees is if they have a union. Unionizing is no easy task, and for things to get that bad it usually requires a shitty corporation.
Pay your people well. Treat them like your kids. (In the Norman Rockwell, everything is perfect, sort of way 😅)
Treat them like essential assets, your company can’t function without them. Every time they make you extra money, pay them extra money on top of a salary that makes all their peers in other companies jealous.
I worked for a company that had its “best year ever” and brought in $220m. They said they were on track to beat $300m next year. I was offered a promotion, but turned it down because 2.8% wasn’t enough to take a manager role. They got offended and fired me.
Yeah, that kind of thing is what fuels a Union. Then the same people who treated you that way can’t figure out how their perfect company ended up unionized.
Right?! Just because I have people under me doesn’t mean I’m not on their side. I’m not a board member. I don’t get anything from them making my life hell by treating employees poorly and expecting me to take the shit.

I really wish managers could unionize. I’d be right there with them in support

Wait what? In America middle managers can’t unionize? What a load of horse shit. You should get on that.
