"The other aspect of this is permanent anger/adversarial feelings between mgmt and the front line workers."This seems to be a society-wide problem. I dunno when it started (forever? 1920s?), but it was deliberately accelerated in the '60s and is so strong now it's institutionalized. It's much harder to build morale than it is to break it. Seems like the people calling themselves "woke" and the most arrogant of little management have the same attitude. Maybe they're the same people*, only in different circumstances. There are exceptions, such as Costco. The founder/CEO takes flack from Wall Street for paying floor staff way more than necessary. They're also giving customers ways more than necessary, I get 3# of top-grade almonds for about the price of ONE pound somewhere else, etc. The guy could sell the biz, retire to an island and live like a celebrity, instead he keeps minding the store. No I don't own the stock nor am I related. * No I do not mean physically the same people. Some on here are very literal minded -- a great thing if you're maintaining high voltage equipment or the like, a bit inconvenient for chitchat. |
