The sort of person advocating employee control, in my very direct experience, comes to take the company's profitability for granted and wants to push the company in unprofitable directions for reasons that are personal, political, and ultimately emotional. I've seen this pattern play out too many times to believe the idea that someone who merely works at a company (and who can move to another) cares nearly as much about success as someone who built the company, or at least whose fortune is riding on it.
- mfringel 8y agoI know people who were exactly not like that. Anecdotes cancel out. Do you have a point, or a strawman?

- maxxxxx 8y ago"The sort of person advocating employee control," Nobody talks about employee control. It's about employee participation! And employees are a stakeholder in the success of the company. They contribute to it, they benefit or suffer from it. Employees had a part in building the company.
