" ... they should instead set up some kinda percentage system of profit sharing, ..."
Sounds good,
on Paper.
Exactly the same way, A total, Communistic, society/community, sounds good on,
ON PAPER.But in Real Life, They DON"T WORK !Here ya go, ya get 15.00 hr, at the end of the quarter, the company announced a Profit. You get to share, So Next quarter, you get a wage of, 15.50 hr. WOW, your, happy. You did nothing 'extra', and you get paid MORE. Now, next quarter, company, announces a profit again, (Not as much as the 1st quarter), but still a profit.
Now you get, 15.65 hr. (Etc Etc Etc)
After a year or more. Employees of the company, are so used to, getting a raise, on the backs of, the employed, who WORK harder.
And the employees, who are LAZY, STILL get the SAME raise !!!!!!
(I Know you have read; 'The Little Red Hen", read it again)
Employee Owned Companies, Do work, And the LAZY ones are removed on a Regular basis.
Hourly + COMMISSION, (where it works), Also works Well.
A, FORCED Raise, whether it be by a legislated min hour rate, or a Forced, Profit Sharing. Does NOT work.
You see what happened, with the FORCED, Min Rate.
(Screw the Human, build a robot)
Forced, Profit Sharing, will be just a higher, wage of many of the very upper, in the company, so the company, has very LITTLE profit, to pass along.
Very Similar to the, schools, 'TAX', raise.
(Campaigned with a schools Money, your Tax Dollars)
and the slogan, 'The Kids Need Pencils. (or like).
Yet the Next year, ALL, the TOP, got a RAISE,
AND, A NEW, Secretary, (or two), are hired, to be the, Secretary, of the Principals, Secretary, who has a Secretary.
