I keep hearing whining about “doing more with less,” and “unfair burden.”

What is "unfair burden?"

The biggest problem today's employer must overcome is our national bent toward entitlement. The reason great brands, and corporations are struggling today is that they have been doing too little with too much.

Less than 1/3 of MS Office users have ever had any training. Better than 90 percent of Office users only use 1/3 of it’s resources. Twenty percent or less of employees give 100 percent effort on the job. However, companies have continued to foot the bill because the profit margins were huge. Suddenly, organizations are being forced into a reality check.

We’re discovering that most employers have been overstaffed, over resourced and over paying for a long time.

That being said, “more with less” might be a PC way of saying, get off your lazy butt, annoying iPod, time wasting (non-work related) email, and get to work. Keep in mind, there was a time when: taking care of care of personal business on the clock, smoke breaks on the clock, socializing on the clock, were are considered stealing. Reality is, most workers could get far more done if they were: honest, hard working, fair, committed, trained and trustworthy. Those are facts.
