>Why would a carpentry shop buy hundreds of thousands of dollars of power tools without consulting with their employees to see what they actually need to get their job done more effectively? T

What happens if employees say no power tools are needed and after a few months a competition shows up with power tools and hires a bunch of noobs and beating your production numbers and sales?

Your employees simply may leave the company and work for them and learn the new culture at this new competitor.

Is there any law which prevents people from moving between companies? No? Then the promoters of that company are going to do what they think is fit to keep them in business and stay competitive. Many times they'll be wrong, sometimes they'll be right.



> beating your production numbers and sales?

That did not happened.


Many, many hand tool shops were outcompeted by power tool users.
