Business must always find a way to assess to profitability of the business unit that you are a part of. The future of each individual employed in that economic unit is constantly being assessed. Each person is a part of an economic team whether they like it or not. This is a difficult concept for many of us because we have been socialized to be competitive. Contests and competitions are a way of life for us.
Individual rights are the basic foundation of our political system.
Self-sufficiency is what we all strive for. While we admire everything that is individual, our economic survival depends on being a productive member of a team if we are employed by a company. Every member of the team must be economically productive for the team to survive. Every economic team is in competition with every other economic team producing similar goods and services in the market place. Only the most efficient and productive economic teams survive.
