What if wages for everyone in a company are regularly voted on by the rest of the company? For example, if the manager isn’t doing their job, their wages are lowered by vote. If the manager tries to lower the wages of the workers to a horribly low level, it could either a) be overruled by the majority, or b) the manager’s wages are lowered suit, pressuring them to increase it.

This is probably a really stupid idea that is extremely prone to corruption, but why?

edit: yep this really is a stupid idea

    Yeah and my point is that any monopoly is harmful and should be busted, but the trust-busters seem to only care about the ones that affect their rich patrons.

      so we agree. because that’s my point. They’re not breaking up google or meta because it’s good to break up monopolies. They’re breaking them up because the oligarchs told them to.
