If workers can’t interrupt boss, then you’re in dysfunctional organization.

  I see that you're describing many blue collar jobs then as dysfunctional. The power imbalance in many companies that rely on year's tenure means that juniors can be seen but never heard.

  My thought exactly. Obviously there ARE dynamics there, but they're not nearly that solid.

  Perhaps if it is taken to the extreme. But it may be pretty efficient to have teams where workers only interrupt the boss when there is a strong reason to interrupt, and sparingly, especially if the team is gathered. Especially if the boss came by the role as boss BECAUSE he/she is a good communicator. Similarly with parents and small children, teachers and pupils or other situations with large asymmetries in competencies.
