  Again, if they do a bad job, they can be taken out of office by the other workers. If they handle layoffs the right way, they won’t be taken out of office.

  Where does the corruption enter into it?

    First off, if you think people will vote for unpopular things because they are handled correctly and the right thing to do, you are not paying attention to any elections.

    Second of all, lets say I am elected to run this company. I have to options:

    1. Operate the company to the best of my abilities and in the best case scenario, I will get a relatively normal wage. More likely something out of my control will happen that I will be balmed for by the next guy who wants to run the company.
    2. I buy material and give way overpriced contracts to people who will give something of value to me. Of course vaguely enough that you can’t prove it in court. Then I just lose my job in a year or two, when people figure it out. Of course by then, I gained more in that year than I would gain in my entire life working honestly.

    What do you think the kind of people thick skinned enough to win a company election would do?

    And if your solution is to lower the burden of proof in court, who would take normal salaried job with high chance of being falsely imprisoned? Not the honest ones…

        Ignore that, just me writing ahead too much.
