Been kinda using that idea to plant little seeds in some of my coworkers. We know better on a store level what needs done but our boss's boss's boss makes the decisions because they have a fancy title. They decided, for example, that we're getting rid of orange juice because it doesn't sell in most stores. But, when the customers at our store that buy it every day bitch, the top banana isn't gonna hear it and won't get in trouble for the bad survey. Small example, but the kids I work with are pretty well indoctrinated into capitalist hierarchy bullshit. Little things like that make them think.

Yep. I see this at my work all the time as well. It's one of many reasons imo why a proper socialist system would be far more efficient than the current capitalist system. Cohesion is important, but autonomy for front line workers and their constant feedback to the larger organization would be pretty big step up from what currently exists in most large corporations. It's also probably part of the reason why worker cooperatives tend to be more productive than normal companies.
