The "good old days" or what King Lear and the OB have in common (Sebastian Strottmann)

A classic, sober technical report is to me - to be confirmed as those who know my posts by Xing - not really good to see.

However, as I would like nothing more to comply, despite my position as guest author, is my approach of this first blog experiment - I therefore call ever preventive indulgence - another.

I try to capture the mood and spirit of what most of us - feel - consciously or unconsciously. A storm is coming in the industry.
The key question - that if we can drop by this storm, or just shake our will - is that currently overshadows the daily business of us all.

will we go from here both in the light of - some naive romantic, partly has accepted proposals from the political field, the European PWD, their implementation, even today, less than three and a half months before no longer contour, as on the first day of your decision and not least, the social pressure, which is - - blindaktionistischen against both unions and management as well as against individual companies - every day steadily increases.

At this point I look with a laughing and a crying eye back to my own start in the industry - the beginning of the new millennium.

me Without a mandatory "Before, everything was better" to want to be carried away monologue, can be me - I hope - yet the majority of readers who have many years working in the OB, agree when I say that the industry in bygone days was down to earth and honest than it is today.

Let's remember it - only for a moment - to those days when we are "temporary work" called - not "Personal Services", "Value Partner", "Human Resources Specialist assisting Junior Account Manager "Anglicisms-bullshit.

Let us remember the days when we were selling planners - without "Hunter & Farmer" scheme without recruiters or title, the word violence mostly in anti-proportional relation to the real demands of the position.

At the time of the SIS yet the SIS was not the job market.

As we - in case of unexpected cancellation - The same could comb through and almost always found a timely alternative for a commercial and technical LAN and we were surprised when 100 hits maybe 20% of other workers were available on Lasser.

At the time when our local competitors - known and most respected of them - mostly personal.

As managing director had to have the cutting, work instructions in writing to represent by fax, mail or post and not predominantly in - deliberately - inside oral form, so there is no written record of those very instructions.

As the branch manager of the BWA's your most offices to shut DBII transparent knew.

When the internal cast of the branches, mostly a NLL, a planner and an administrative power, is seen as a team - not as competitors in the team.

course, at that time was not anything better.

We had no collective agreement, had no job and had their own training - above all - much less cash flow in the industry.
There were significantly fewer correct and important regulations, there was maximum transfer limits and there was no work time accounts.

But still we were lucky, our enemies most of the face can look to - as the backbone learned at that time much more popular than it is today - and we were lucky that even with unskilled workers factor of 2.00 - 2.10 was achieved entirely realistic, and not the fact that the employees earned so little - no! - But because the client readiness was too immoral compliant charge rates higher just as pronounced as it is today.

And now I propose at this point the bow to the title of my open mind game:

King Lear. A man who has everything dear to him was lost and expensive fact of being guided by personal vanities and his wounded ego.

Sometimes when I reflect the past decade in this industry, I wonder whether we might like is.
I wonder - despite the enormous expansion of the industry and the absolutely positive forecasts for the coming years - whether the industry has perhaps brought by an offended injured vanity and ego itself to much of what defines us.

on Negative reports that - some large, some small scale - published again and again, we respond almost instinctively and reflex control with the "black sheep" guide. But I consider myself a critical number of these messages, we have a fucking black flock in the midst of us.

Consider the price trends of the market - rather, the decline in prices - we realize that there is probably always a bad merchant who accepts any price, EAC's tightly integrated into its calculations and the business logic alone requires an active abuse, so that the project budget will be represented at all.

We see large corporations, the systematic use our industry to bring about a wage decline of the middle class and - in the medium in the light of current forecasts - permanently change consumer landscape.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, consciously or unconsciously - we turn a wheel that is from an economic perspective, more than unhealthy.

We see that the industry has been exploited in part to something for which we would really much too good to be. But the two or three or four million more revenue per major customer sounded just too tempting than that we had not reached for the apple - often accompanied by "personal benefits" that the officers of the Purchaser has often been given.

Most of us still believe that today's business and the common practices of "Staffing Industry" absolute integrity, and of any public debate because of its undeniable economic need should be raised.

But is this so?

it is desirable that the individual profile in this area will almost no longer taken into account and will take his place for a monthly or annual number of hours?
Is it to increase efficiency when - my personal impression is that - more and more dispatcher and NLL's almost completely unaware of the talents and skills are what your LAN's shall be presented - from expanded knowledge of the AÜG, the BaubetrV, the AEntG or Entgeltfortzahlungsgesetz to mention.

These are things that the few of us admit to, but we all know that they are real.
No specter of political or trade union - it is our totally real skeletons in the closet.
an open secret that nobody wants to notice or even central theme.
"sitting out" has been the only counter-strategy that I see.

I could almost endlessly talk about deficits, each with several years of internal experience - with gnashing teeth of insight - Will recognize, but this is not my concern.

I was interested to substantiate my argument with examples of abuses that the industry listens to the wrong people, and guided by the wrong motives can - just like King Lear.
But I also think that we - blessed with more wisdom than said Monarch - (still) able to actively guide and need.
We are - thankfully - (still) very far from the end of this potential tragedy.

If the industry has a certain parallel to King Lear, but then the blog - along with all the readers - and MPIDS the "fools" are trying to bring the king to reason - in contrast to Shakespeare before it is too late and is the tragedy of their irrevocable course.

Because I love this industry.
I am convinced of the concept and structure of the temporary employees and would not provide the model of temporary work as a whole is in doubt.
Solely it is common that I contradicted in the strongest terms.

Are you my opinion or do you think I see things too black?
I'm really looking forward to your comments and thank you for your time.


Sincerely
