I'll bet you do wish you were in a union. They protect the lazy and incompetent.
And, this is where you really fit in: They dictate your opinions to you.
Not really. I know union guys who are voting for Romney, not realizing they are probably going to take away their nice union jobs... So not only don't the unions tell them what to think, they don't even make convincing cases they're voting against their own interests.
But to the point, sorry, in the 20 years since I left the Army, the biggest incompetence I've seen is in management.
Like the two brothers who ran the company into the ground a year after their parents left it to them...
Or the company that made 10 year decisions on the basis of a three year non-renewable contract.
Never lost a job due to my own actions... Never got a review that was less than exemplary... and never worked in a place where I didn't move up and get greater responsibility as time went on. I'm up for a promotion now.
So if you want to nurse your losses in rhetoric with the belief I'm a bad person, feel free.
