> The adversarial model of employment where passionate employees fight against penny-pinching bosses is neither natural nor inevitable
Very few people would continue working their jobs if they didn't need to to survive. The legal, cultural, and competitive structure of corporations demands paying employees as little as possible for as much work as possible. Barring serious cultural and political change, I don't see how this could result in anything but adversarial employment for almost everyone.
Treating employees well is bad for business outside certain bubbles, and "the right thing to do" doesn't factor in to these decisions.
