I mean how much of the private sector, all without the input of unionized labor, isn't at least two of slow, expensive, inefficient, and unable to progress? Sometimes I feel like there's this romanticization of the agility of private enterprise when that attribute really applies to a considerably smaller number.
Just for example, any discussion of Agile SCRUM on this board illuminates startling differences in efficiency and drive between various companies
- throwaway894345 5y agoThe vibe I get from growing up around unions, having friends and family in union jobs now, working with unions, etc is that enterprises and larger companies feel slow and lumbering if your experience is startups or growth-stage companies; however, (American) union shops and government agencies are in their own league. I'm not solidly opposed to unions in general or in the Amazon case in particular, but I do think there's merit in the idea that American unions (I hear European unions are organized differently and don't have the same problems) lead to the most bizarre, inefficient, and counterproductive work environments.
