And we also have negative outcomes such as discounting worker education and experience (seniority should NEVER be valued over talent), restriction of work to narrow definitions leading to inefficiencies, the fact that the increased cost and decreased deficiencies hurt the product’s customers, and the list goes on and on.
We owe a debt to those who worked to get us simple humane things like taking children out of coalmines and getting benefits for working beyond 40 hours per week. Those days are gone.
