    What’s wild is that even from a purely business perspective that’s the right choice. Missing someone entirely for a day or three is so much better than half the office operating at half capacity because they’re all sick.

      Sometimes it feels more reasonable to think of a corporation as a pure power structure with some apparent productive output as alibi.

        That’s a nice idea and all but largely companies that are too ineffective tend to go bust. Like yeah they get away with some stuff, but there is a limit. It’s competition that determines that limit. The more competition in an industry the more efficient you have to be and the less returns the owners will get. It’s one of the better aspects of capitalism - for the most part. It could lead to companies cutting costs that cause issues down the road.

          Oh absolutely. But the bigger or more monopolistic the company, the higher the limit. Some can get away with running in circles for years while people play career ladder games in successive restructurings.
