If keeping racists around was so good for business, then business culture would not have drastically changed in the last 50 or 60 years.
As far as US being #1 economy, that generally happens when the rest of the developed world is in rubble (post WWII). Men being sexist and racist was not necessarily a contributor.
Another trend was more people smoked cigarettes. Do you thinking smoking cigarettes means a more effective business?
- coldtea 7y ago>If keeping racists around was so good for business Nobody said it was "good". What was said, to quote, is: "So, maybe personal opinions of that nature are not related to being a good developer or a good car mechanic or hair dresser" -- in other words, that it was not really a contributor (pro or con). >Another trend was more people smoked cigarettes. Do you thinking smoking cigarettes means a more effective business? No, but I do think whether an employee smoked or not said nothing about how good they are at their job.
- chillwaves 7y ago> it didn't hurt their "effectiveness in the workplace" You can't know that. The fact businesses almost universally moved to eliminate these tendencies speaks to some evidence that it was to their detriment. And as far as I know, smokers are not being penalized in the work place, despite taking more breaks than non smokers.
