If you don't protect your workers or employees in your company, it will be difficult for the company to be productive in the community because the employees need to be in safe place or position, where they can be productive for the company to achieve income. This is the reason why people use to call on government to solve the insecurity challenge in the community, because they know that they can not be productive in the community if the insecurity continue, and the government must respond to them in a positive way, You can also use high salary to protect your workers or employees because the high salary will make them to be productive for the company to achieve their goal.
Workers are the builder of the company, they are the ones that make the company productive and standard and they can also make it Nonstandard if they wish, must especially when the employer is too bounderish or adamant toward them, that is why every employer need to protect and respect their workers/employees and also appreciate them by elevating their positions, because if the company is productive the community will also be uplifted. Nowadays our community is insecure and riches doesn't bother about it they only care about their employees and how their company will be more productive and they will be earning a lot of income. some people are poor but they care a lot about their self respect or their dignity, so paying them huge amount of money as salary is not the only option but you have to be kind, respectful and generous to your workers. And they will be willing to sacrifice anything just to see your company developed and standard, they will also be punctual to work, honest, and loyal to you.
What makes you think that they care about the working class or lower classes? All they care about is themselves and their companies and businesses.
A rich businessman would be smart enough to understand that the more he shows care and affection for the working class and lower classes, the more good and productive workers he and his companies will attract, and that means more revenue for him in the long run. I'm not saying this is the case with every rich person, but it is for the most.
What does a person working for a company need? A respectful work environment, and necessary basic requirements, and a person running a company or a business would know what he needs to do to keep their workers loyal to the company because that brings more productivity, hence more growth for the company.
So the point is, that the rich are more smart than they are affectionate.
Exactly, some rich people doesn't care a little bit about their employees or working class people, they only care about themselves, family, businesses, companies and their treasures. They just have to pretend to be nice to the working class people to accomplish their goals or wishes by showering them with love and affection, because they very well know that the poor people are the productivity of their company and the standardized, growth, development and the income of the company depend on them.
I know that many rich people benefit from the poor staying poor. The harder it is to earn money or meet needs, the more the poor will work which makes it really easy for the rich ones. They have no other choice but to be productive.
If the poor stays poor or god forbid be even poorer, it will create a bigger class gap between the rich ones and the poor ones. The rich will be perceived a lot more rich if the rest of the world earned less than them. I have seen many cases where the rich actually benefits from inflation. Besides they do not experience inflation the same way the poor does. They can fight against inflation better than those who earn less.
Some rich people does not want to see a working class person to get rich, some of them are selfish to the extent that they don't want any lower class person to reach their level and achieve what they have achieved, to maintain the long distance between the rich and poor because they want them to continue serving them for the rest of their lives and keep on running their companies or businesses to a higher level of achievement. Workers work very hard to fulfill their fiscal responsibilities and rich people benefit the most from the hard work of the poor or workers. They do not want to fight against inflation because they are the beneficiary of inflation and the poor bear the consequences.
