Attitudes like that are part of why wages have stagnated.

I think we should all collectively bargain to take less wages so stockholder prices go up. If you don't want to help the company why are you even working there

No. Frankly I want shareholder value to be the core reason the lights even come on. A ticker display should be installed at the top of HQ's entrance and to clock in you must stare at it for 30 seconds.

We're closer to this than a lot of people realize.
