This isn't just a market failure or some inevitable 'iron law' of bureaucracy taking over management. This is a society wide failure, and we're all complicit.

This isn't just a market failure or some inevitable 'iron law' of bureaucracy taking over management.
This is a society wide failure, and we're all complicit. Umpires, cashiers, pilots, referees, doctors, nurses, baristas, accountants, restaurant staff, bank tellers, flight attendants, and teachers are all quitting due to a belligerent, abusive, or violent public, uncaring administration or management, low pay, lacking benefits, unpaid work hours, or reassessed priorities. Little league and high school games don't need parents, players, or the coach smacking or screaming at the ump or ref. Nurses and even doctors don't need one thank-you basket/gift card for one employee per month, empty thank you slogans and parades, lean staffing/six sigma/JIT healthcare staffing bullshit, for-profit, private equity hospitals/clinics, pre-authorization and insurance managing healthcare instead of doctors, pay freezes, legally mandated pay caps, PTSD, or mental trauma from all this steaming pile of nonsense. Violence against medical professionals has gone underreported and grown dramatically over the past few years. Hospitals are allocating significant budget to security. In places where they've never had security. I'm not even going to touch upon all the myriad other issues right now. And, we're/they're not heroes. They're just doing their job, not saving the world as your personal, sacrificial lamb. It's just a job, not a heroic sacrifice. So yeah, we will all quit and play musical chairs with our jobs until things improve.
