Well after reading just the synopsis I am almost to the point of making my own inappropriate comments.
Still though this is the most dismaying:
"It never ceases to amaze that the lion’s share of professional orchestras, even those in the largest budget tiers, have absolutely zero indoctrination processes for artistic personnel. What that means is the orchestra’s musicians, staff conductors, and music directors enter the workplace without ever having someone explain key HR policies and procedures (assuming they even exist) such as ethical conduct principles, discrimination and sexual harassment prevention, workplace privacy, compliance, conflicts of interest prevention, formal complaint processes, workplace violence prevention, health and safety, use of company equipment, etc. etc. etc."
So the solution to this being a problem would be to have more "I"s dotted and "T"s crossed and to hire more lawyers.
I was under the impression that to get to this level everyone already had some experience WORKING WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
This is exactly what we get (I refer to the quoted paragraph) when we run music ensembles like multi million dollar corporations (whether their budget is close to that or not). Oh, and we also lose sight of making music for the love of music and because audiences enjoy listening to intelligently rendered, well crafted music.
