Why do democrats generally default to assuming the owners of the workplace are automaticaly bad people out to screw the worker?
Obviously, there are terrible workplaces out there and bad bosses. Places that treat their workers like crap and expendable. Nobody is going to deny the existance of the existance of bad bosses.
But Ive found that through the many jobs Ive had, that the majority of workplaces are run by people who do care about the employee. Especially with small buisness where its a lot more personal. I have seen many companies go out their way to help an employee outside of work if theyre going through a hardship and do things well out the scope of whats required for a workplace to do for their workers.
Ive noticed amongst democrats the default is to assume that when one owns a buisness, theyre by default bad intention people out to screw an employee. I feel as though thats a wrong assumption based on stand out bad cases of bad employers. A big reason I say that is because its never a big story to hear "employer does all the right things and has generally happy employees" which I find to be the defualt.
I also feel democrats tend to not try and see the other side of things from the view of the employer and take a descision from that employer that was not made maliciously and see it as being done maliciously. Running a buisness is hard and running a buisness does not automatically mean that youre in the elite class. Also, running a buisness should be celebrated and encouraged because a lot of buisness owners were once employees that worked their way to owning their own buisness and that should be a celebrated aspect of American culture.
