This is real America

The real America is like this. The top management is responsible for the shareholders, that is, for the rich, not for the employees. No matter how old you are or how stressful your life is, as long as the company's profits decline, in order to survive in the market, We must protect ourselves by the sacrifice of our employees. The financial crisis has already shown it very clearly. At that time, some people in the United States really committed suicide, and some even killed their entire families before committing suicide. The reality of the bloody forest is that the United States is a society that does not care about morals, not human feelings, but only about laws and survival. Everyone is struggling here in order to live a prosperous life.
But Americans are indeed too extravagant. A man with an annual salary of only 160,000 actually drives a Porsche, buys a house worth 1 million, and takes golf lessons. You must know that an annual salary of 200,000 is only a middle class in the United States. A high-spirited MBA is going to be a decoration worker. How many hurdles must he pass in his heart to accept it, but the reality is that he has to bow his head. A nearly 60-year-old man with rich work experience could only commit suicide, and when the boss knew it, he simply said softly, I'm sorry, and it was over, and he had to find out a reason for himself. This highlights that American society is such that one side is the rich and the rich, and the other side is the middle-level managers who are forced to commit suicide. The real America is too realistic and utilitarian, and there is a big gap between the governments and human rights trade unions in Europe that focus on protecting the interests of employees. What the United States pursues is that fierce market competition is the magic weapon to maintain vitality and competitiveness, so the spirit of the Americans is to never give up and always fight hard.
At the end, the director's prescription is that as long as you have confidence, courage, and enthusiasm, everything will be fine. (I will win. Why? Because I have faith, courage, enthusiasm.) Is this the real America?
