The problem with most companies is that they are not led by people with clear visions.

Companies that succeed typically start with a clear vision. However, once that vision is fulfilled, then it starts to become run by people who are simply trying to make money.

Chasing after money becomes the vision, and that is how you get to the way things are in America today.

Having a vision often times means having goals that you’re willing to lose money if it gets you closer to achieving them.

That being said, ratuer than voting for your paycheck, something that is much more straightforward and less prone to being taken advantage of would be having set wages based on years of experience and time with the company.

include an opportunity to earn extra during the year by going above and beyond while making it clear that this is not expected of the people at their current job role.

Going above and beyond would be determined by your boss on recommendation, and they would have a limited number of recommendations every year.

Another thing you could do would be to publish what everybody earns on a website that is internal to the company, and make the going above and beyond rewards part of your annual meeting or something so nobody would know if they’re going to get an above and beyond reward until then.

Then to actually make it a good thing, you would need to make it a rule to fire the people that do not meet their performance metrics, at least after a set number of times or like failing to fulfill a pip or something.
