We definitely seem to be miles apart on the way we think about our jobs.

To me, protection isn't love.

Workers that don't measure up aren't a good fit. Fire them. So that they can be set free, become stronger, at something they are good at.

A worker at McDonald's that does 60% the output of the rest of the team doesn't deserve $22/hr.

Oh, but I agree! Fun fact: It’s surprisingly easy to fire workers in Denmark. This is relatively uncontroversial because 1. there is a severance period, which is usually at least three months, and 2. generous unemployment benefits. We call it Flexicurity[1].
