I don't feel like going through a long premise of this documentary. It was not very informative or creative. But here is the basic element it missed.
The problem was the difference between the trained Chinese work ethic and the American work ethic. Didn't these decision makers know this would happen? This is an utterly unprofessional endeavor when you don't head problems off before they even happen. They discussed cultural differences but not the end result They just waited for the result to happen.
They have have human rights in factories in China, that is apparent, and they are willing to do anything they are told.
But zero American leadership came forward to explain to the CEO that how you solve problems in America is direct communication, respect, and training for American workers. They simply believe in giving orders, a cultural difference in gaining productivity.
This was pedestrian in my mind, as this element of the story superseded all the good things it illustrated such as the respect and bond the workers had with the Chinese.
The documentary represents a sad commentary on saying nothing and implying a lot. The lot is what's wrong with the American worker and why they are doomed to be replaced by robots because they have a lazy work ethic, when its simply a difference in priorities on why you even go to work. Americans strive to have a life, the Chinese don't even know what that is. Instead they inhale a cigarette and say that is their happiest moment.
A despicable display at trying to demonstrate anything negative about American culture or why we don't have factories. Leadership is why we don't have factories anymore, not the workers. The American worker comes from undisciplined homes and often times shows itself in attitude in the workplace, but the way you combat it is providing them knowledge of what makes a good worker and seeing that discipline they missed out, and how to get it back. American workers want to strive, but when their bosses are negative they lose morale. They can't work both.
It's not the worker, its simply bad leadership with no solutions nor heading them off before they even have a chance to happen.
Sad illustration.
