(31,706 posts)I've been in many corporate environments where you find the workers are indoctrinated with the concept of what's best for the company is best for them. If that means cutting someone elses' job or working longer hours or taking less for more...it's "taking one for the team". It's also the way many protect their major means of income...not to rock the boat and hope that the big brothers in the corporate suites reward this loyalty by trickling something down. Independent thinkers and boat rockers are quickly on the outside. It's in this enviroment where people will vote for rushpublicans believing the decades long propaganda as to how they're more "fiscally responsible" and how them liberals are out to regulate their company out of existance (and thus your job). It's been going on for generations and, sadly, the Democrats and the labor movement have never been able to counteract this.
