Is there an employee number range for a corporation when it transitions from "humans working together" to "machine that transforms human beings into resources" ?
- lexicality 3y agoI think it's the point where it stops being a cooperative venture and turns into a managed one. That point is different for every company, but if you've worked at a startup that grew enough, you have definitely experienced the changeover.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoIt's more like a percentage increase: the number of employees (P) is proportional to the machine-like state (M) of the corporation as a rough approximation. M = aP Where a is a constant that depends on the overall state of society, how capitalistic it is, how much regulation exists, etc. And then we could say M itself is proportional to the probability that various inhuman actions will be undertaken (where of course the probability is suitably transformed to make sense being proportional to an unbounded variable).
