> Creating a company is not exploitative but rather collaborative and mutually beneficial (with workers).

If it's collaborative can we vote a new CEO?


Yes, you go to work for a different company that has the CEO you want. Vote with your feet.


But wait, I thought building the company was collaborative? If I collaborated in building the company I work for, why would I want to leave it just to work for a different CEO? If all the workers agree that we need a different CEO, why can't we vote for it? After all, it's supposed to be a collaboration ....


It is collaborative.

Collaboration doesn't mean forcing others to work with you.

Instead, collaborative is about voluntary choice.

If you want to work somewhere else, under different rules, that would be your choice. Forcing others to do what you want isn't collaboration.

> why can't we vote for it

Co-ops exist. If that is what you prefer then go work for a co-op.



You still don't get it? The "purse" is just a social construct.

making a difference or not is a false dichotomy.

Every single candidate refusing to work for fb makes a difference of size one.

This is an excellent takeaway that should be upvoted.
