It is no secret that the people at the top of the hierarchy of work can be a little out of touch when it comes to what average employees want and need. Sometimes, this comes from pure ignorance and an unwillingness to take into consideration the struggles of the workplace in this day and age. Other times, they know all too well that they aren’t engaging in good business practices, but exploiting people because it saves them time, or money is more important to them.

Either way, it is not a pleasant experience to have to handle a boss who doesn’t seem to treat their employees in a way that is grounded in reality. Even when you don’t work with them directly, it can be painful to witness. It is unfortunate what some business owners and managers consider an acceptable deal with those who work for them, not least when it comes to pay.
