Employers Regain Upper Hand as Age of the Worker Ends.
The Age of the Worker, where employees had the upper hand, is coming to an end as the economy slows down and costs rise. Companies are cutting jobs to maintain profits and please shareholders. Robotics, AI, and other automation technologies are replacing workers at a breakneck pace. Employers are implementing surveillance software to document how hard their employees are working from home. The workplace has become less friendly, with tougher performance reviews and the elimination of perks. Employees have lost their leverage, and those who provide a good ROI for their employer have nothing to worry about.
