This is cultural, not a mechanical product of at will work. We're a union shop with a labor shortage. Getting fired is at the bottom of our list of concerns. And yet, the number of people who don't report injuries, or who choose to work in unsafe conditions is mind boggling. You can straight up go into an area, tell someone that $BLANK is an OSHA violation and that management can't do shit if they stop production to fix it, and what do you get? A blank look and then they keep on keeping on.Valuing hard work means having the rigid self-discipline to do a menial job you hate for 40 years, and reining yourself in so you don’t “have an attitude” (i.e., so that you can submit to authority). Hard work for elites is associated with self-actualization; “disruption” means founding a successful start-up. Disruption, in working class jobs, just gets you fired.
