Should Workers Be Happy to Have Jobs or Should Employers be Happy to Have Workers?

Many employers and workers say that, no matter how bad a job is and how low the pay is, the workers should be happy that they have jobs. The employers should be grateful that they have workers who are willing to put up with their shit and work for them. If they did not have employees they would not be able to stay in business. Workers who are worked too much or have too much stress are less productive and make more mistakes. Workers who feel their work is appreciated are more likely to do a good job. Employees who are well paid are more likely to feel good about themselves and feel that their work has value. Treating workers like they are replaceable parts of a machine leads to lower productivity. Supervisors who treat those who work under them with respect are more likely to be treated with respect in return. I work best with minimum supervision as long as I am given all of the information that I need to do a job. I do a better job if the focus of supervisors is on rewarding good work instead of punishing mistakes. If workers do not feel that good work is appreciated they are more likely not to give a shit.
