I've always maintained that if for-profit corporations are people, they are psychopaths. There's no mechanism for empathy in corporate structure, and indeed actual psychopaths are overrepresented in corporate boardrooms. Combined with the top-down nature of a corporation, where rules are made at the top and projected down onto employees that must comply or be cast out of the corporation, this makes corporations akin to totalitarian dictatorships, with the CEO in the role of Dear Leader. Often they even expect to be treated explicitly as such. I much prefer a more democratic system of work. I wouldn't tolerate a totalitarian government at the national level, why would I willingly subject myself to one at my workplace for 40+ hours a week? I want a vote on my role, who my boss is, and what rules I have to follow. Most importantly, I want the executives' votes to count just as much as any employee's, and I want them to be bound as well by the rules we all vote on. Turns out such entities are not as optimized at extracting wealth for shareholders, but they still do a decent job, and in my experience are far more aligned with community interests. In the future, I hope for more democratic corporate structures to become more popular, because I think the totalitarian profit-above-all model of a corporation has reached its limit.
