    Will security guards and janitors vote? You need to hire college graduate interns that you entrust with voting to oust an executive when they have no job or life experience? What if your company is fast growing and new employees are more numerous than senior employees? Do remote workers vote on decisions that only affect local workers? Do Global companies decide who votes on what? What if no employee lives where exploitation can happen, and opt to benefit themselves by choosing the profitable option for the sake of a bonus or job security? Will companies try to manipulate their employees to believe what is in the best interest of the company? Will these rules unfairly affect certain companies versus others? Stifle innovations unnecessarily in one industry or many? Knowing if someone is qualified to vote on the future of the company seems hardly possible in the span of an interview.

    Solutions for problems like these are hard. We don’t know and aren’t qualified to talk on it. But I just think significant fines and taxes are a direct control point on the one metric that companies are motivates by.

      Not arguing against fines and taxes just that it is not sufficient

      Those de facto responsible for producing the company’s positive and negative product should have the right to vote over the company’s leadership. The moral principle that legal and de facto responsibility should match mandates this. The employer’s sole legal responsibility for the firm’s positive and negative results violates this principle. Irresponsibility is baked into today’s work organization

      That’s all that fits in a toot
