Set terms yes, bu the terms are very unreasonable, impractical and paradoxal, they imply unnecessary suffering that actually degrades work performance, the very thing good managers want to keep up. Sacrificing performance for control is the signature of bad management and a bad employer.

Your terms of employment are negotiable. If you don't like them then you are always free to discuss them with your employer. You should never assume that your employer is able to dictate terms, or even that they want to. Most companies want their staff to do good work and are happy to come to an arrangement that benefits everyone.

Changes in terms of employment is one of the few reasons you can collect unemployment after voluntarily quitting.

Are you implying that renegotiating terms isn't an available option, and the only way to deal with an unpreferable situation as an employee is to switch jobs?

I am trying to make sense of your comment but I don't really get this attitude either :)

You know your employers benefits of you too, right? That's why they employ you. They don't give you charity or hire you of the good of their heart. They hire you because you bring them more value than you cost.

So I don't get this subservient attitude you have to employment. This should really be a two way street.
