I'd say they're put at a disadvantage only if they in fact waste
time (no scare quotes) on meetings etc. If this discussion time
is well spent then presumably it will pay off: good ideas will
come forward and be implemented, the workforce will have a greater
sense of solidarity and common purpose so individuals are less
likely to goof off or "just do the minimum", and so on.

More generally, a socialist cuture will presumably develop a
conception of what is "normal" in terms of discussion time and
might even legislate this (a minimum, I mean).

What is your theoretical point? I think you're just being
contrarian.

Allin.
