a compoany is not only successful when maximising its profits,. It is embedded in a communal and social context which in parts even assist it financially and with infrastructure, a pool of school-qualified employees, etc. So, success also is defined by what a company gives back to society. Low wages and part time jobs are part of the busines spattern today, and this spells longterm desaster for the social structure of society, becasue the less people earn, the less they can save for their own age and future when they cannot work anymore. In Germany, discounters and low-wage companies like to point out that they create jobs. But job must be understood as the opportunity for the employee to work a reasonable ammount of hours and get a fair wage for that that allows him to support his family without aid from the state and to secure his fiances for the time when he stopped working at higher age.

And this simply is not the case.

The social balance and stability in the long run get seroded that way. Business success accieved today this way - is the reason for civil unrest and revolution in the future.

what I also know from German example is that the increase in mini-jobs (jobs with low payment and reduced number of hours), destroy regularjobs by the hundreds of thousands. Becasue by insane Germ,an legislation two such minijobs have become cheaper than getting their work doine with one regular employee. The regular employee is able to invest into his future financial security, and to help the economy by coinsumming. Two mini-jobbers cannot do neither the one, nor the other. Go figure.

the extreme we have is the one-euro-job. That are unemployed people who do not get a job, get social wellfare (do not consider that to be much money - it has been massively reduced in recent years) and are allowed to work a certain number of hours in jobs where they get only one Euro per hour. This is paradise for entrepreneurs: you have a pool of employees that will worfik for you, and their wages almost completely get payed by the state/the community. You must not even pay taxes and healthcare for them!

The financial security basis of the community gets eroded that way. But who cares, let's do not spoil a successful businessmodel by picking out unimportant details. and the statistics say that the number of unemployed went down, so everyone could be happy, right?
