Also that each worker supplies the same surplus. While forecasters will assume this, this is rarely the case in engineering.
Comment on Boeing says it can’t make money with fixed-price contracts
KevonLooney@lemm.ee 8 months agoYou are assuming two things:
- Each worker is paid the same
- The number of workers in the company affects the market for their products
In a small company, none of this is true.

All I said was 10 workers produce 100 dollars of surplus. Nowhere does that imply each produced 10 dollars. Only that their voting power commands 10 dollars of surplus. Read it again.

So you have a system that doesn’t reward increased productivity between members, or even provides some metrics for measurement. You can have a successful project with non-performing members.

Co ops directly reeard increased production, increased production would lead to increased surplus, and the surplus is democratically allocated, weather that’s bonuses or investments, thats extra money that everyone gets to decide what to do with. Thats more incentive than ive seen more than most workers in top down systems get.
