Rich businessman: Unemployment must increase by 50% to show lazy, arrogant workers we’re the boss.

Australian businessman <a href="http://egbertowillies.com/tag/tim-gurner" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Tim Gurner</a>, one of the wealthiest individuals in Australia, openly voiced the belief held by many rich people that to correct what they see as a power imbalance, unemployment rates should be deliberately increased by 40 to 50 percent, causing economic pain to “remind people that they work for the employer not the other way around.” He perceives the current state as one where employees undervalue their employers. Gurner argues that the COVID-19 pandemic led many to decide not to work as much, which he says has hampered productivity. He sees this as part of a wider problem where workers feel the employer is “extremely lucky to have them as opposed to the other way around,” a dynamic he is urging to be changed through a sharp increase in unemployment rates to control what he views as arrogance in the labor market. Gurner is just another <a href="http://egbertowillies.com/tag/plutocrat" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">plutocrat</a> who believes having more capital than most makes him omnipotent. Workers play an essential in sustaining businesses and the economy. Employers need employees more than vice versa. This underscores workers’ need to recognize their value and importance in the capitalist structure. It is a flawed perspective to see employment as a favor granted to workers by employers. The idea of increasing unemployment as a method to control worker arrogance is morally and ethically wrong. <a href="https://medium.egbertowillies.com/rich-businessman-unemployment-must-increase-by-50-to-show-lazy-arrogant-workers-were-the-boss-818a69e72409">Website</a>
