[....]He believes that since the pandemic gave way to working from home, employees now how too much power and have even go as far as s dictating the terms of employment to their employers. He feels that employers have lost their power and that the only way for them to get back their powers over their employees and show to them whose boss is if the unemployment rate increases and people have to literally beg to have their or keep their jobs.
The pandemic actually gave more access to a variety of options for those working from home. People have realized that they don't have to stick with their former employers when someone else across the country is willing to pay him more for his services while staying at home. I'm pretty sure Tim knows this.

There will be always alot more of employee compared to the employer so instead of just submitting to all these silly request and whatosoever, employer could just cut them off then hire another person that is willing to do the job right
They could do that but they can't easily replace skill set and experience.

Tim Gurner, the CEO of the Gurner Group, wants unemployment to increase so that people can be subservient to their employers as it used to be. He believes that since the pandemic gave way to working from home, employees now how too much power and have even go as far as s dictating the terms of employment to their employers. He feels that employers have lost their power and that the only way for them to get back their powers over their employees and show to them whose boss is if the unemployment rate increases and people have to literally beg to have their or keep their jobs.

This is ridiculous. Unemployment is the main problem in 3rd world countries and a major problem in Western countries. This guy sounds like he wants to buy the employees with the salary and make them do whatever his company wants. I live in a country where a person works as a driver, but the employer forces him to do grocery shopping, cleaning the house and other things as well. The driver does not have other options except to do what his boss asks him to do. Because he is afraid of losing his job and thousands of people are waiting for this position.

I won't work for people who want to use their employees in such ways. I have worked with international companies where a European guy was the boss. He was too humble and always tended to apologize if it was his mistake. I cannot imagine any of my local employers saying sorry to their employees for their mistakes.

Employees have human instinct and they are self fish when they can. They do not care about employers and they should know that employers must maximize profit for their business operation so that lazy employees are at bottom of employer's choice. The pandemic actually gives employees great opportunities to work remotely, work from home but refuse to return to offices when pandemic is almost over and life is back to normal is unacceptable.

No doubt that without face to face interactions, working is less effective in most of companies and employees must know that.

The world will return to normality soon but it takes time to erase consequences of the pandemic and lockdowns, quarantines months ago.

So when these guys make millions/billions they love free market, but when the free market results in something they don't like, like the shortage of workers, then they cry like babies and want to fix it. And the hate of working from home is completely delusional, they are not even trying to hide that they treat their workers as a resource to be squeezed and discarded. So why should the workers shouldn't stand their ground, especially if they get more bargaining power? Out of sympathy for a rich guy who could only afford 1 yacht this year instead of 3?

You understand that some people just like to spread controversy because they have no other way of getting anyone to interact with them? You're basically doing advertising for this loser, who would otherwise disappear into the noise and occupy his tiny little space in the universe where he could have a power trip over his own employees. He sounds like a lousy person to walk for and is most likely venting because of high staff turnover in his own company. Instead of doing a bit of self reflection, he has decided that the employees are the problem and not his management style. They do say a large amount of people with psychopathic tendencies end up in the highest positions and maybe he is an example of this.

Tim Gurner must be speaking from a privately owned sector perspective, I don't believe companies have the authority to dictate work for their employees in a public sector setting. This only occurs in the private sector. I agree with him on how employers now misuse and always want to take control or advantage of the privileges they have while engaged to work, but generalising it to affect other employers is not what I want to agree on. You are the boss of your own firm; you make the rules; they follow, they break the rules; you fire them and hire fresh staff.

Unfortunately he can't do anything about the new online job revolution. The thread (trend) has already started with the COVID-19 pandemic that was a major factor for it. Gone are those days when sack from a job caused panic but now, the internet is there to embrace such person.

He should not instigate others to follow his myopic sentiment.

Well, this is Tim Gurner's opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs even if it's so dumb, selfish and foolish like this guy just spat out now.

His opinion actually make sense. Some employee are demanding too much right now and that is pretty weird because there is a set of rules that you need to follow as an employee. There will be always alot more of empl to the employer so instead of just submitting to all these silly request and whatosoever, employer could just cut them off then hire another person that is willing to do the job right

That's normally how the private sector operates, except Tim Gurner wants employers to collude with one another to drive unemployment artificially high, thereby reducing market wages of everyone participating in the labor market. His opinion is corporatist jabber.

Employees shouldn't monopolize the labor market to artificially raise wages nor should employers do the same with job openings.

Its pretty simple actually, if you are not happy with the terms then you leave and find another that suits you

Nothing has a monopoly forever, and the market will always drag itself between more jobs and fewer jobs in a sane economy. Everyone is free to jump from one to the other during surplus and even upgrade their terms as either employee or employer dominates in the workforce.

But the employers already hammered mass layoffs post covid from Google, Facebook, Twitter/X and everyone else the reasons are pretty simple there is no need for the employees and the employers will not carry a dead burden no matter what so unless the employees provide something profitable for the employers.

Governments will not hurt rich people even if they make such calls as what happened here, which again proves money controls everything and the decentralized monetary system such as Bitcoin paves the way for an escape from it.
