Companies should start us at low-ish pay and quickly ramp it up, all while weeding out the sorry employees. If you kick ass and take names, you get paid, otherwise go find something you're better at.

Watching my new boss for the first time got me thinking. The man easily does the work of two people, while tonight I expect to be standing around shooting the shit with a couple of guys who do the bare minimum.

tl;dr: Employers should compete for the best employees, thereby making everyone more money.

No, companies should cut ties with stock markets (because they literally don't help the company) and foster a relaxed, human culture. Even if we remain under the yoke of capitalism that type of investment hurts companies and society in the long run and developing a culture that doesn't make the world worse helps even the uber wealthy.

As someone that's not good at anything, that sounds exhausting and nightmarish. You'd probably have the companies colluding to keep pay low rather than competing for talent.

Just an example: in its final years, Radio Shack fired most of its more experienced (higher paid) employees and kept/hired younger employees for less pay.

You've found yourself falling out of a window via the friend of a friend of a friend of a shareholder.

It was inevitable. RIP
