Employers that don't give a flying crap about their employees

How is that even possible? Here shows my naivety yet again.

How can an employer expect their employees to be dedicated, want to give above and beyond, etc... when they don't give a flying crap about the employee?!?!

I've worked for large companies, I've worked for small companies. I've always (until now) worked for companies that treated their employees well - they care about them.

I've been able to temporarily adjust my work hours do to some family/child related emergency. I've been able to be a few minutes late due to issues. I've always had health coverage as promised. I've received bonuses, raises, etc... At my last job (for a small company), my DD was going to a dance and I couldn't afford to take her to the salon to get her hair done in addition to all of the other expenses. My boss heard, gave me his personal credit card and told me to go and get her hair done.

I now work for a company that promises it's employees health insurance after 90 days of continuous employment. There are people here who have been here over a year that STILL do not have coverage. I took it upon myself to do all of the leg work for the company to help my co-workers. The rates are in, the boss now just needs to pick a policy. All employees have been underwritten. I approached him about meeting to discuss the options and he said "I guess". Like it is such a nuisance to choose a health insurance plan for his employees!! WTF?!?!?!

I am outraged that an employer could care so little for the people who are working so hard for him. In a matter of just those few seconds, I have lost a TON of respect for that man.

As I've said numerous times in the past... I need a new job. Too bad the freaking job market in my small city is SO FREAKING HORRIBLE that there is nothing even available to apply for.

Grrrr......

If I won the lottery and had my own business, you bet your ass I'd treat them all well.
