10. I know, what was that idiotic idea of synergy

Somehow being around everyone was supposed to magically make you work better and more productively. But the truth was that it was very distracting and nerve wracking. A lot of people waited until others were gone or took the work home anyway to get some quiet and concentrate.

Also they shipped the factory work to low wage countries oceans away and tried to keep the R and D, and management here in the US. Where was the synergy then? We can send the work to other countries but not to a workers' homes an hour away? When the workers were taking the work home anyway a lot of the times.
