    Yeah I’m all for dismantling corporate hierarchy, but even as a socialist, I concede that people managers can be workers. They can be valuable.

    Just not to the extent that they get to belong to a different economic class.

    If it’s just going to mean more profit to shareholders (who aren’t workers) then, as a worker, and customer, and even as a shareholder, I couldn’t care one dried out cat turd’s worth if a company is more profitable.

      Managing people in a workplace is a very valuable skill, I think the issue is IME those with those skills are rarely put in management positions

      You’re describing the work of middle (or probably more likely, lower level) management. You know, the people actually interacting with the workers.

        Yeah I’m being charitable, because there is value in someone who coordinates other high level managers, and handles interacting with the public and other companies.

        But without public stocks, the case for a CEO starts to wear thin IMO
