Increasingly convinced that the job mobility of US workers found in the past 30-50 years (shoddy promotion pathing, zero formal in-house training, consistently hiring outside, essentially random layoffs) is less a product of a mercenary labor force, or even a product of managerial incompetence, than it is a deliberate strategy by enterprise owners.
Consistently losing and re-hiring workers is expensive, in both dollar and productivity terms, but you know what constantly job-hopping workers don't do? Organize.
If you're not going to be somewhere longer than 2-3 years, there's very weak incentives to build the kind of relationships that unionization efforts require. If the workplace sucks, you just leave instead of fighting for improvements with your friends.
