> you all get a pension at 33% wages as long as the company is in business and 6 months to find a new job Boss: "Or, and take a minute to appreciate my cleverness before you respond, how about zero, and don't let the door hit you on the way out!" These improvements eventually materialize regardless of any incentives for this behavior. Perhaps it would come marginally sooner with an incentive. But since non-owner workers will no longer have a relationship where they provide continued value to their employer, the company is (correctly?) motivated to screw them over (think single vs. repeated prisoner's dilemma). The company could even pretend to offer the incentive to get these improvements sooner, and then fire them anyway. The game theoretic optimum for capital owners is to screw over their (soon-to-be former) employees. This is why some suggest a tax on automation -- there's a market externality here that isn't going to magically go away.
