Yesterday the Portuguese newspapers spread about the PSD Portuguese Constitution revision proposal.
First of all I have to say that Portuguese people have other worries which are more important then this matter! But our politicians need to have other matters to discuss in order to entertain people.
Unfortunately important things, as the unemployment or the wrong wealth distribution aren't interesting to discuss.
About the PSD proposal. Today, I´m speaking only about one:
The permission to fire someone without reason.
I think it's a bad idea! Actually the present laws have enough hypotheses in order to fire someone, of course the managers need to have a reason, but the reason is so easy to get, that this proposal change is unnecessary!
Another reason for my position is the fact that the Portuguese managers usually don´t have enough ethics. People will become slaves!
Think about the consequences: everyday and at every moment you could be fired! It happens in the United States!
People have feelings, compromises, etc. On the other hand, companies have (or must have) a social concern about their workers. Today only money interests, nothing more.
The politicians think that this is the best way in order to improve our economy, unfortunately they are wrong. The lack of Portuguese productivity is not a workers' problem but a management problem! I don´t remember hearing this from the politicians.
If the government (or the opposition) gave training to the managers in order to make a good management, it would be better for all of us!
But it´s easier to hit the workers!
While our politicians think this way, we won´t change.

Right on Júlio!
ResponderEliminarBy the way, how do you think managers should be trained? what sort of improvement and learning would you suggest?
