How does kickback affect employment?

[Starmix]

Kickbacks can significantly affect employment by fostering a climate of mistrust and fear in the workplace, reducing wages, and creating an uneven playing field. Kickbacks directly undermine the purpose of prevailing wage laws by effectively reducing the wages that workers receive, impacting their ability to support themselves and their families.

Kickbacks foster a climate of mistrust and fear in the workplace. Many workers are fearful of asking too many questions about their pay, especially if they have been told to others to keep quiet and keep their head down. Kickbacks promote an environment where companies that follow the law and pay their workers the prevailing wage are at competitive disadvantage to those that don’t have.

Forced labor for some cases happen and the employees may use coercion, extortion, and threats to control workers and force them to pay kickbacks, creating conditions of forced labor. This can include threat of firing, preventing them from getting other jobs, or even reporting them to immigration authorizes should they work outside from their country.

I agree with what you said about how kickbacks negatively affect the work environment and workers' finances. It's very sad that these practices continue, because they not only reduce wages and foster distrust, but also create an environment where employees fear for their safety and stability. The existence of these practices also disadvantages those who comply with the law and pay fair wages, since companies that engage in kickbacks have a competitive advantage. What's most concerning is how, in some cases, this can lead to situations of forced labor, where employees are coerced, extorted, or threatened into paying these bribes. This not only violates basic rights, but also puts the physical and emotional well-being of workers at risk. It's essential that there be greater oversight and severe penalties to eradicate these practices, as they affect all of society.

There are offices and companies like that, especially in government-owned establishments, where kickback is rampant and the employees are helpless, afraid to lose a job if they report the illegal activity of their bosses. The employees will never experience an increase in their salaries despite having a budget for it. The money for salary increase is corrupted or pocketed by the greedy bosses.

kickbacks influence a person's decision to favor a party that benefits that person instead of befitting the company he/she works for

When kickback is dominant in employment, the employees will be affected. They will never experience a salary increase unless there is a change in the manager or boss. It is crucial for the well-being of the employees who may suffer financial strain despite being employed.

That story is really dirty. People are working hard in the office but the boss eats everything and the employees remain poor without even a salary increase. The budget is there but it is being swallowed by corruption. If you try to open your mouth, you will be fired. That is why many are silent. It is as if the system has been built to oppress ordinary people and empower those with sharp teeth. Corruption has become a common game.

Kickback affects employment; the employees will find it hard to have an increase in their salaries. It will also be impossible for any of them to be promoted. The money allotted for salary increases and promotions is misappropriated by the manager or boss.

The kickback issue is really bad for work because it blocks people from getting salary increases and promotions. When the boss plays with payroll money and mishandles it, employees remain stagnant. Motivation is lost and morale drops. This is office corruption. It destroys people's growth and makes the work environment toxic. Without fairness, people find themselves trapped with no way to move forward and the future remains blurry.

Paying or receiving kickbacks is a corrupt practice that interferes with an employee's or a public official's ability to make unbiased decisions.

The employees will be pitiful and insecure when the management conspires to kick back the money intended for salary increases and promotions to those qualified employees. The employees will lose their morale and eagerness to support the system.
