“For the 100 employees we have in France, we have 10
employee representatives, for whom we have to organize
weekly meetings even when there is nothing to discuss,”
Haan says. “Every time a social security contribution
changes, which is frequently, we have to update software
and send our HR people for training. We can’t fire anyone
without exorbitant costs.”
Instead of viewing the weekly meetings as a chance to touch base with his employees, learn about them, pick their brains for ways to improve the business, and the like ... he whines about the requirement to have the once-a-week meetings.
Then, he complains about having to tweak their payroll/withholding software and send the HR folks for training.
He must shed actual tears when regulatory agencies in the countries he sells his products into change the requirements that affect the design and source materials so that he has to have them tweaked or even redesigned from the ground up.
Sociopathy in management/leadership is a very real problem.
