Extract from a union paper from a local business disaster:

Subject: THE MEDIOCRES HAVE TAKEN THE POWER !!!


"THE MEDIOCRES HAVE TAKEN THE POWER": How to get out of it?

La Syndicate offers you a slice of this vision which could be considered provocative if, alas, it does not

could apply to many situations in our enterprise.

Source of debate among members of the union ! If some hunt Pokemon, the union you

offers another research, less virtual but at least as exciting.

According to Quebec philosopher Alain Deneault, today's society tends to promote mediocrity.

Stay average, think soft, make no waves would be the order of the day. A

model of success not really ideal to get out of the crisis!

Question: What exactly do you mean by "mediocracy"?

Alain Deneault: By this word I mean the system in which we are immersed and which tends to promote

"neither good nor bad" individuals. Conversely, those who are distinguished by a certain height of view, a

solid culture or an ability to change things are sidelined.

To succeed today, it is important not to leave the rank, but to comply with an established order. What

calls, with a knowing grin, "to play the game" is in fact to submit to formats and ideologies

that we should however question. Mediocracy encourages people to live and work in sleepwalkers, and to

consider as essential the specifications - even absurd - to which we are bound.

Question: Is talent no longer essential for success?

Alain Deneault: When you are asked to do 50, you need a certain skill not to reach 49

or 51. This presupposes having perfectly internalized the templates that are imposed on us and being able to calibrate

his work accordingly. The problem is that this system promotes, constantly and almost exclusively,

mediocrity.

As a result, work no longer really pays: a person who wants to progress finds himself forced

to position oneself on a chessboard - political, social, relational ... - which no longer has anything to do with the reality of

his job.

In this back-to-school period, the union suggest that you do not stop at this analysis

defeatist. Can we "rediscover a taste for work" (from the title of M.CHOUEIRI's book,

personal development specialist)? Can we get out of situations of suffering or

of discouragement? Can we stop the vicious circle that drives the business down the slope

slippery described above?

M.CHOUEIRI has identified three types of employee postures (managers or not):

“That of the puppet, which agrees to be articulated by others, subject; that of the actor, who does the

job on which it is expected, without asking questions; and that of the author, who writes the story of his life.

(Have fun looking for examples of each type around us: Obviously, the last one is the only one

not sink into mediocracy)

In order not to suffer, you must find your just authority, with others and on yourself. We all have a degree of

latitude to manage to regain control of one's life. When we start to query the system and put it back

in question, we are already emerging from passivity. There are certainly decisions over which an employee has no control, but

there are others on which he has room for maneuver. Everyone's responsibility is

to question the company, his manager and himself, to dare to confront others. A manager, for example,

often has someone above him who places constraints on him. This should not prevent him from having

authority over himself, his team, and over his superiors. "

Without derogating from mutual respect between employees, the union encourage this

questioning and its confrontations. We are not numbers and if we

do not want to become one, it is vital to act. The sustainability of the company, of

our jobs and Quality of life at work.

Note also the recent release of a book entitled: "Crap jobs?"

and which was the subject of a broadcast on France Inter, the day before yesterday morning Tuesday October 19, 2016: These jobs that don't always make us happy…

Thank you, Greli, interesting the book! Seen the subtitle it looks like an indictment against certain jobs "harmful" for society and humans ...

I do not think that traders consider their job as a shit job .. on the contrary: they are undoubtedly very happy to see millions fall on their account ... obviously without any guilt on the human of the thing obviously. .

We can therefore expect something more than a silly listing of dehumanizing jobs ...

The summary is interesting in any case:

Crap jobs are everywhere: fatigue, boredom, servitude, isolation, starving payslips and bogged down ends of the month. But what defines a "shitty job"? From the shoe shiner to the flyer distributor, from the outsourced mechanic to the cost-killer of an auditing company or the star of stock market journalism, surveys across the vast territory of those who, unwittingly or in conscience, fall under this category in various ways.
Not a day without you hearing someone sigh: I'm doing a shitty job. Maybe not a day without you thinking it yourself. These jobs are everywhere, in our mind-numbing or meaningless jobs, in our servitude and our isolation, in our skeletal pay stubs and our mired ends of the month. They spread to the entire working world, fueled by the degradation of socially useful occupations as well as by the overvaluation of parasitic or harmful professions.
How to define the shitty job at a time of the proliferation of precarious contracts, servile tasks in the service of the wealthy and managerial techniques of wringing out the workforce? Why does the expression seem appropriate to designate the chore of the cleaning agent or the delivery of cheese nans, but not that of the tax adviser or the senior official hired to dismantle the labor code?
In an attempt to answer these questions, two journalists who were themselves precarious conducted the investigation for several years. From the shoe shiner to the wealth manager, from the flyer distributor to the "personal shopper" who accompanies clients in their luxury shopping, from the nurse suffocated by "Lean management" to the stock journalist who recites the CAC 40 courses, the encounters and situations they bring back from their exploration draw a ravaged territory, prey to fierce social violence, which seems to sink deeper into its own absurdity every day. Until when ?


Uh ... have the policies been analyzed? : Cheesy:

Personally, I prefer the American expression "bullshit jobs" which better conveys the useless / harmful aspect of these shitty jobs created to serve the system.
I would be curious to know their proportion in the labor market. It would not surprise me that we are at more than 50% and increasing since the model is still that of full employment in a world that is becoming more and more automated.

I do not think Americans consider (adulated !!!) Traders on Wall Street as bullshit jobs ...

Absolutely, I refer you to this subject: economy-finance / tomorrow-all-unemployed-t13279.html

Why no one dares to say openly and publicly that mass unemployment is the consequence of automation and therefore of a richer and more technologically advanced society. Unemployment is a luxury, so it does not matter! And it is not necessary to crush morally and economically the inactive as we dare to do it!

But it is the (over) benefits automatons who should pay for the unemployed, and not other workers !!


The automation of the world also explains the increase in social inequalities ... I heard that in Europe we had fallen back to the level of 1900 ... It's beautiful !!

To bounce back on traders: even they are not immune because for years there have been robot traders (= automatic stock market servers ...)

On Wall Street the premises are indeed increasingly empty ...


Automation will also affect finance executives:

Artificial intelligence should automate a lot of jobs. The White House has estimated that there is an 83% chance that someone earning less than $ 20 an hour will be replaced by computers. But it is not only low-paid jobs that are threatened. Some positions in the top 5% of the highest American salaries could also disappear.

Nathaniel Popper of the New York Times reports on this automation in his article The Robots Are Coming For Wall Street. It is based on data concerning Kensho, a financial analytical program.

By 2026, 33% to 50% of finance employees will be automated. As a result, firms like Goldman Sachs will become "significantly smaller". Because Kensho operates high-speed analytical calculations that prepare financial reports based on a database of financial analyzes, doing the work of researchers and analysts with algorithms.
3 minutes

Thus, a work of approximately 40 hours carried out by people earning between $ 350.000 and $ 500.000 per year is replaced by a three-minute analysissays Nadler, the creator of Kensho (of which Goldman Sachs is one of the main investors).

According to computer scientist Michael L. Littman, of Brown University, for any well defined problem, we can now build a machine that surpasses man, because he is not designed for a single task .

The “white collar” days are therefore also counted.

QED ...

After we stop to shoot the inactive and THOSE WHO DERIVE PROFIT these automation help make living ones these automations have the gap in the labor market!

Is this principle, basic, is it so hard to understand that a political or economist can integrate it into his mind?

Otherwise the world will begin, socially, to fear seriously and we are moving towards a society ...- really horrible what? what? We are already there?
