跪求下面几段话每段的段意。
Of course, senior executives understand that HR is powerful – a bit like Mossad or the CIA. Those in personnel know everyone’s salary and bonus and all their disciplinary records. Wily office politicians cultivate them, since they help decide who gets a pay rise and promotion, how contracts are drafted, how individuals are treated if there is a restructuring and so on. Meanwhile, headhunters spend their time cultivating the top talent and shuffling the deck, profiting at every turn.
Running organisations that employ lots of people is increasingly difficult. No wonder the Rich List is full of more property entrepreneurs than any other kind. Inanimate objects like buildings can’t sue for unfair dismissal for discrimination over age, race, faith, gender, or sexual orientation – or demand flexible working or maternity rights.
Bosses who do a poor job can be as bad as workers: no one seems to accept blame for anything. Rose Gibb, chief executive of Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells Health Trust, received a £75,000 pay-off after at least 90 patients died from clostridium difficile in hospitals she ran. The message is: reward for catastrophic failure.
Companies should cut back on non-essential functions and ship expensive jobs abroad to cheap countries when they can. Legislators who have never met a payroll refuse to understand that when they gold-plate employment rights, they ultimately destroy jobs and prosperity. That is why unemployment is so high.
