If you're a line worker businesses, managers, and executives are not your friends. That might seem controversial to some, but to me it's just the pecking order. Executives usually take home large sums from these businesses for very little personal risk. Meanwhile, line workers are the ones that produce the product that earns them large sums in bonuses while sacrificing their time, energy, and often personal well-being. We move to new, expensive cities for these people. We work weekends for them. We work nights for them. As long as executives are perceived as different from employees in all the wrong ways beatings will continue and morale will not improve.
