The Worker Didn’t Pack the Factory

The corporate blame machine is a marvel: executives decide to ship work overseas, then somehow the worker who needs wages, housing, health care, and dignity gets handed the invoice. Boardrooms call the cuts efficiency; workers call it losing the ground under their lives. The scoreboard gets polished for profits, while the people who kept the place running are told to admire the math.

But a worker can’t fold a factory into a shipping container between shifts. That takes executive authority, a logistics plan, and a shipping budget. If the CEO chose the route, don’t blame the crew for arriving at an empty building. The boardroom packed the factory; the worker just needed a job.
