>>72751>That's also why workplaces tend to be filled with people who don't seem to really do anything at all useful, like secretaries and HR people. They're just there as toadies for the boss to make him feel more powerful.The American corporation works very similar to the mafia, to the point where it imports itself to other countries, like the Cosa Nostra.
Your CEO is the mob boss, and his directors are capos, and you kick up to him, and he kicks up to them. Your HR people are the made men, they're thugs, they're enforcers. You're an associate. Some associates will become made men (aka, will go the corporate route where they will enter the HR/director/stakeholder sector), but it's very rare. None of these people actually
do any of the 'street level crime' of production, etc, or at least don't do most of them; that's
you. The closest HR people do is their protection rackets; HR is literally a protection racket - 'you better hire us, you wouldn't want anything
bad to happen, like someone accusing the company of being
racist and getting sued, right?'
You're the associate whose job is to keep the whole ponzi scheme afloat, because corporatism puts growth over profit and inflates itself, like the mafia, which is just a crime ponzi scheme. This is why the Yakuza in Japan run like literal shadow corporations with (what used to be) thousands of members.
The issue is, these people will inflate and tank entire economies and use you, their associates, their low level street thugs, to do it and toy with your livelihoods over theirs.
