It's not always a bad thing, but it's often a bad thing, especially in non-unionized workplaces. At a certain scale, employees become interchangeable "human resources," just pieces on a game board. We'd be better off if our federal, state, and local governments made it easier for small businesses to operate and compete with larger businesses. Competition is the key to unlocking the benefits of capitalism, but ironically, it takes government regulation to ensure that competition isn't just squashed by monopolies and oligopolies.
