With any sufficiently large group there will be a variety of opinions when making any decision. Voting is one way to get a majority opinion, but of course that doesn't make it right. Since everyone is in a different place in life what may be good for one (maximising income before retirement) may conflict with another (ensuring job stability and sustainability for the next 20 years.) This is all true regardless of the decision making group - board of directors, c-suite, or employees. So sure, some employee groups would make decisions not aligned with my goals. But equally other decision making groups do that all the time too. This is a hard problem because, as a decision group you "can't make everyone happy." So it helps if the employee group are mostly on the same goals page, and if there are leaders who understand the decisions in terms of the agreed goals. Meaning, that regardless of profit share, its a good thing if you work at a place where your goals, and the leadership goals are aligned.
