- Management teams in private firms speak with a unified voice. A
- decision may have been reached by compromise, but often it isn't, and
- the dissenting managers are given very few choices:
-
- it's the CEO's way or the highway.
-
- Therefore, it's an organization you're forced to join. You toe the
- company line, or you stop working there.
-
- Unions are but the employees' version of a similar thing, except often
- times the decisions are reached more democratically than in the
- management organizations.
