Firing for relatively small mistakes just means people will cover up mistakes in the future leading to them causing serious accidents. People who make mistakes learn from them and not only rarely make that mistake again, but help others learn from that mistake.
I’ll happily admit when something is my fault. And I’ll document and implement changes that help prevent it from happening not just to the teams I lead but as much of the company as I can influence.
If you told Musk, that he is causing net loss for the company this way, he would answer " so then the workers need to work harder". He can’t be at fault.
“Just stop making mistakes. Also work overtime under stress.”
Companies pay when people make mistakes.
Why the fuck would you fire someone when you just paid for a lesson that prevents further mistakes?
Meanwhile the thing other employees learn from the firing approach is to get better at covering up their mistakes.
And guess what happen when you ask workers to work 10 hours a day every day? Mistakes.
Or when workers aren’t guaranteed vacations. Or when vacation days are mixed up with you sick days.
A sick employee who can afford to stay home won’t cost the extra due to other employees getting sick.
Same thing when children get punished too harshly or unfairly. They just learn how to lie and hide things
Non-fun fact: If you punish kids unfairly enough, they’ll stop giving a shit about lying because they get punished whether they lie or tell the truth anyway. Fucked up personal experience.
But they do still hide stuff. And lose all respect for punishment.
