nonsense. when you accept a job at a company, the only "risk" you're taking is that said company will go under at some point in the indeterminate future, for reasons outside your control. if that happens, you file for unemployment benefits if need be, and find a new job—you're not putting any work into the company that's not directly reimbursed by your paycheck and benefits. this is completely and fundamentally unlike risking your own capital to start a new business. the two aren't even remotely comparable. if you think they are, then, once again: why are there so few co-ops, and even fewer started from unions? it's almost as though astoundingly few people want to take actual risks, as opposed to working a job for a paycheck and benefits.
