Sounds good in theory. In practice, management does what is necessary
to keep disruption within limits with which their customers are
reasonably content. And that's where we are now.

In the private sector, given a competitive market, if management and workers
don't get things more or less right the business goes bust and they all lose
their jobs. But in the public sector (including quasi-private businesses
that government can't allow to fail) management and workers get bailed out
until the country goes bust.
