The enslavement aspect only works when your employees never seriously think of taking a job across the street. It's pretty easy to spot the career developers, career managers, and the just-passing-through types at a big company. Interestingly, all three types tend think their chosen path is the best and safest.
- Create 16y agoTaking a job across the street means taking up another profession. This is the whole point: due to the economies of scale, taking a job across the street means literally restarting your career if you are "lucky" enough to find one and almost your entire life if you are less "in luck". A comparable job would be in another state, or even continent. Hence forced mobility. It is all about making sure cogwheels are replaceable by ensuring they are actually replaced on schedule.
