There is the other side, where management and labor do get along and work in a harmonious and productive environment. A good example is the case of Google employees in the following video:
After watching this video one can only ask oneself how do they do it and is it financially sustainable in the long run? Personally, I would hate to get used to this kind of work environment and then one day have to look for a job in another company. It would be shocking to say the least.
As they say in the video it is the trust the company puts in the employees that makes them happy to be there and also makes them want to work hard and have ambitious ideas, fast responses, and big achievements.
However many companies today face many challenges such as the volatility in the economy, a global economy in which corporations can go abroad to get cheaper labor in order to stay competitive and profitable. These challenges can make it a bit difficult for the employer to provide for a well-balanced and productive atmosphere at work. The following link provides good information on how a company can keep their workforce engaged and satisfied with their jobs. Job satisfaction
I believe that it is fair to say that for those of us who have worked for a corporation it has not been as good experience as the one Google's employees have had. Even when the environment has been peaceful and enjoyable very few companies can afford to provide for their employees all the commodities Google provides for their employees. However, let’s not lose hope maybe in the future there will be more companies like Google.
