I'd argue that business school does not teach that at all. That is a behavior taught by corporate sociopaths to other sociopaths being groomed. I base this on my business degree and 20 years at a major corporation. The distance between the two is enormous.
Work Reform
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
The distance between the two is enormous.

Staff: Great! How much will our wages go up?
CEO: we can't afford to increase wages, didn't you hear me, we just bought 3 companies this year.
And then came the mass layoffs.
What I learned in business school is...
