The following appeared in the editorial section of a corporate newsletter:
"The common notion that workers are generally apathetic about management issues is false, or at least outdated: a recently published survey indicates that 79 percent of the nearly 1,200 workers who responded to survey questionnaires expressed a high level of interest in the topics of corporate restructuring and redesign of benefits programs."
Discuss how well reasoned ... etc.
The following argument that workers are not apathetic about management issues does not take into consideration the following assumption which should be well addressed to substantiate the argument
The very first thing that should reasonably be addressed is the basis of the notion. There is no solid evidence cited over which such a notion has been made up. The viewpoint varies from person to person and also from management to management.
The argument does not take into consideration the factors and the situations which have changed over the time. Situations such as economy, wellbeing of the workers which were not given importance earlier have now been paid a lot of attention to.
Finally the argument’s conclusion was wholly based on the survey. The survey in turn does not mention the type of management and companies which were considered for analysis. It may be possible that only the big firms which are considerate of their workers participated in the survey showing us the partial picture of the whole scenario. For the bigger firms, workers would automatically not show apathy as they are benefitted from the firm.
Finally, it cannot be believed that the workers responding to the survey are being fully truthful about the company. The actual condition sometimes is not revealed out either by incentivizing the workers or bribing the survey publishers so as to maintain company’s reputation.
So, the argument that workers are not apathetic towards the management is highly flawed and it misses the overall picture of the management variability
