Why would a privately owned business need to be democratic? What is the advantage of giving all employees an equal say regardless if theor skills and understanding of the business from a business perspective rather than a moral one?

It isn't a matter of need, but of consistency in one's values. In which case, why would the moral grounds be insufficient?

Could you be a little more specific? Because that sounds extremely hypothetical.

Sorry, I had an idea in the back of my head that made what I wrote seem more grounded. The idea in mind was of a pretty standard non-union American corporate employee. An employee in a nation that doesn't consistently provide services like healthcare, so many workers find themselves dependent on their employer for health insurance to afford healthcare.

In any event, isn't this whole line of discussion awkwardly suggesting at some point a fiscal risk may be more relevant than risk to one's life/well-being? Shouldn't monetary concerns always take a backseat to the well-being of people?

That's impressive, great to see it's held up all this time!

Yeah, shouldn't it be at least thirty minutes?

Interesting! What's P and K in this context?

An employee shows up and gets paid, with none of the downside risk (their paycheck won't go negative), so the employee isn't a stakeholder. Therefore, shareholders make the decisions, not employees.

This depends on where the employee works, both in terms of business and nation. If they work in a nation that doesn't provide some services, they may be dependent on their employer to some degree for some of those services. In that circumstance they're no longer "just" showing up and getting paid, nor are they as mobile in their ability to switch businesses/employers.

Should those employees in that circumstance still have essentially no say?

Some talk as if more attention & engagement regarding negative subjects/issues is normal or how people's brains work, so I'm curious about studies into the other angle on this.

That is, to what degree people may be drawn to and discuss more positive subjects.

Cool! What is it?

FV?

Because I would expect people in democratic nations to value democracy and see it as worth exercising in business. This is in part as I see democracy as a formal way of referring to being open to discussion of opinions and ideas in organizing any group.

Why would you want to be part of any group that may reject open discussion of its organization?

Say articles on scientific research progress, effective disease prevention/mitigation, successful restoration projects of environments on the brink or of historical buildings/artifacts, etc.

Subjects like this related to efforts to help, maintain, and/or improve matters.

Are shitposts still shitposts if they're in order?
