If these employees, who have been bellyaching for countless years cant find a way to "influence" to improve their work life or their company, they should leave the company, or quit bellyaching, becasue they obviosuly have not been a part of the solution.
Why would anyone stay in a horrible situation for so long? Whats the payoff? ulcer, heart attack, postal, breakdown. Life's too short.
My point is that the front-line employees' job is to be there every day, and do THEIR job to the best of their ability. The execs (allegedly) have the training, education, organizational skills and hopefully, practical experiece, and are paid to do the planning and problem-correcting. THEY need to have processes and policies in place to be able to know if there are problems and how to fix them.
Maybe I'm too old-school, but there was a time when companies treated employees like actual, feeling human beings, and not numbers or parts of a machine. That time is long-gone sadly.
