Some companies are using the recession to impose pay freezes or even pay cuts, as well as increasing workloads on staff to cover for redundancies. With some companies no longer allowing 'tea breaks', and forbidding workers to eat or drink while working.
Changing staggered meal breaks for different departments, into the full factory having the same half hour meal breaks, has meant that many workers are spending their meal breaks queuing for their full break period to get into canteens unable to accommodate so many extra people.
Pressure to work longer hours is also demoralizing staff, and reducing productivity. Companies adopting this Victorian style of dictatorship management, will find that when the recession is over, those once loyal and experienced staff, will register their disgust of the treatment metered out to them, by using their feet and walking into better companies.
