A corporation is a "financial entity" or in layman's terms a "fictional person". The corporation is controlled by its shareholders. The shareholders make decisions in the interest of increasing share price therefore increasing share price and dividends. Unfortunately the employees, the foundation and key asset of the company, are stuck on a fixed salary. A fixed salary cannot always provide the motivation necessary to have the employees work in interest of the companies well being. We should from fixed salaries to a salary based on a fixed percentage of the company's profits each year. This will give the employee the opportunity to work for his own direct benefit. Other policy changes should include setting a small percentage of each employee's salary into an individual account that can be opened when (and if) the employee is fired due to downsizing. Another small percentage should be used to create company programs that will benefit the employee's quality of life (such as healthcare, insurance, unemployment protection, etc). Changes like these can not only benefit employees and corporations both, but it can also let people pursue their interests with less fear and tension. These changes will also increase overall employee productivity and efficiency and lower overall stress in the population.
If there's no profit, and the corporation loses money, then will the employees be made to give the company back part of their pay? We already have unemployment insurance, and most employees are not going to go for deductions from their paycheck for more of it - in fact, employees in New Jersey and at least one other state have to contribute, along with their employer(s), to Unemployment Insurance. These suggestions will not create a lowering of stress for employees, it would create more - because things beyond their control can and will go wrong, and the risks are too high.
with all the deductions your refeering to.... the employee aint going to have a check,,, it will just be a bunch of minuses,, towards his gross pay.. perhaps if the government was to step aside and let business run freely,,, then we wouldnt need these deductions to please a employee... government is the major road-block for most businesses....they must work ''around'' the government to spin a profit,, lower corporate taxes,, will put money in the companies coffers,,, and perhaps shared with the employee...
I don't think any of this is necessary. The biggest mistake in corporate history was bestowing natural rights on these "fictional persons." Corporations have the same rights as "natural persons" and since 1886 have been fucking us big while maintaining a limited liability only placed upon itself. Everyday congress will "fight the good fight" protecting corporate personhood and corporate rights, all the while stripping everyone else(the real people) of theirs. Reverse that and pretty much all the government-corporate intertwining greedy bullshit will follow.
Sounds like these corporations need to hire someone to analyze their employees and propose ways to motivate them. Easiest solution I can think of is to offer small raises to employees who go above and beyond, and to make sure that all other employees can see how and why that employee is receiving his raise. What if the company doesn't make any profits in a year? Should the employees not receive any pay? I like how our current system is set up, with contracts that specify exactly how much you are exchanging your labor for. We have a system like this already. Also, systems such as these do little but reduce the size of employee paychecks. If the employee were to receive all of his pay upfront, he could more effectively manage his finances -- e.g. he could put the money somewhere where it would gain him interest, instead of the corporation holding the money. Why not just give the employee the money that would have been part of his paycheck and allow him to spend it as he sees fit? What if a particular employee does not want unemployment protection and would rather just receive extra payment?
