> your corporate job isn’t a democracy

why not? shouldn’t it be?

[faust201]

May be you should open a company hire some of these IT workers and then post the results. (not sarcasm but genuinely to prove)

[SJC_Hacker]

You can certainly try. Make every employee part owner and then everyone can vote on C-levels. Of course, that buy-in could be a little steep (if its not a early-stage startup) ...

It can be, but this one isn't.

[pixl97]

I mean, I don't think corporations should be a democracy.

This said, I don't think they should have any political power whatsoever. A corporation that operates as a fascist entity will demand fascist lobbying and laws and thereby lessen the democratic county it is operating in.

i agree companies shouldn’t have political sway, but why shouldn’t the place you spend so much time and effort for be democratically governed? what’s the argument that government should be, but industry shouldn’t?

that’s the whole basis of Elizabeth Anderson’s “Private Government”
