Basically, PoliticsNerd, because people running and working for companies like to be paid!

That made me laugh! They do get paid. Even charities pay their staff.

Sorry, I hope that was meant to be funny

Another thought strikes me as I process the news of the first actual government job loss in my extended family in the U.S. Another relative holds the same position, but in a different branch of government, so they are on tenterhooks.

My hope is that we don’t get pushed down the path of 'disruption for disruption's sake.' Originally, this concept was used to signify the natural changes a new industry may bring - refusing to settle for the status quo, taking risks on unconventional ideas, and viewing friction as a significant opportunity. However, this perspective was developed by individuals who understood both business and people, not by the 'tech bro' who, while skilled in their own field, seem to lack an understanding of organisational psychology in some cases.

If you cannot moderate your views to accommodate other ideologies, you risk becoming an extremist, often labeled as 'hard' or 'far' right or left. Very few—indeed, very, very few—truly benefit from extremism, and it’s a fair guess that it won’t be Grannetters."

Yes, it was funny PoliticsNerd😊. The point is that private sector companies which seek to make a profit generally pay directors and employees more than do not-for-profit companies and charities. Note I said ‘generally’, not always - we know that CEOs of some charities are well paid.
