Worker owned cooperatives, worker managed teams, company decisions made democratically.

All other kinds of companies are dictatorships.

and why should that be any better? just because it appears democratic does not mean it makes it automatically "better" <- name 1 cooperation which has shown success for every 1000 "dictatorships"

democracies are plagued with slow reaction time which would take away your entire market edge. Also democries require transparency. If everyone knows the costing structure/ suppliers... you are done.

"Why would having a say in making decisions about your employment be any better than just doing whatever the richest idiot says?"

Do you even hear yourself? They've got you loving the taste of boot polish.

go freelance. you don't have to. since your consider yourself smarter than your boss try starting a business.

it's a trade off between income fluctuation and stability.

since you didn't address any of my points but chose to just respond with random statements, I take it you were convinced but too ingrained with your original statement to admit. It's fine happens to many of us.

glad to have helped you thinking critically.
