Imagine suffering from imposter syndrome in an office with this fear culture. People will work themselves to the bone trying to fix personal perceived inadequecies. Then they burnout and quit.

I guess if workers are considered expendable than that's a positive. Corporations need to be more accountable to their workers welfare and not solely stockholder's welfare.

My understanding is that some systems, for instance in Germany, have a system like this. The employees have elected representatives on the board of directors, giving them a direct say in corporate policies.

there's no incentive for doing so. As far as the owner of the company is concerned, ensuring there s a pay-cheque is the end of the company's responsibility.

Given their seeming labour challenges, maybe it is a self regulating problem?
