Zusammenfassung:"This eye-opening book dramatizes the collapse of good jobs in America through the stories of four major employers--General Motors, General Electric, Kodak, and Coca-Cola. As the Drucker Institute's Rick Wartzman shows, these companies once believed that worker pay needed to be kept high in order to preserve morale and keep the economy humming, but the corporate social contract gradually came apart. By tracing the ups and downs of these four corporate icons over seventy-five years, Wartzman illustrates just how much has been lost: job security and steadily rising pay, guaranteed pensions, robust health benefits, and much more. Charting the Golden Age of the '50s and '60s; the turbulent years of the '70s and '80s; and the growth of downsizing, outsourcing, and instability in the modern era, Wartzman's narrative is a biography of the American Dream gone sideways. Richly detailed and compelling, The End of Loyalty will make you rethink how Americans can begin to resurrect the middle class."--Page [4] of cover
