That has a good deal to do with
the people that are in charge of
companies and corporations in
America now days.
My experience with this is all
Ford, but they're all nearly the
same now days.
Over the years many executives
go from one extreme to the other
as far as the business they run.
There's hotel executives running
home improvement stores, fast
food executives running automotive
businesses, sporting goods executives
in charge of large hospitals, etc. etc
We got away from a merit based system
of hiring and advancement and it's
really messed things up badly.
