I've been at a company where I really wish there was worker representation on the board, something that isn't a thing in the U.S. even in companies with strong unions, but I very much like the concept. In the particular case where I was the board was appointed mostly by the CEO and didn't represent any kind of oversight or even the barest amount of engagement. There was no meaningful checks and balances, and no one to call executives on BS when they presented to the board. Especially in the tech industry I think ICs are generally very invested in the overall success of the company. I honestly don't think corporate leadership is selected with any greater alignment than employees. They have a different perspective, which is sometimes good/correct/necessary. But they also are the ones who are most likely to drive a company into the ground.
