Comment on Democratic Socialism in the Workplace and Hierarchy by Consent (OC)
Juniperus@infosec.pub 6 days agoHey thanks for your thoughtful analysis, I didn’t know I needed a gimp suit for business! Sounds like those grocery workers certainly had them on! I don’t know how people are supposed to live like that.
You certainly make a fair point about capping pay. There should probably be a max ratio for the hourly rate (or monthly/yearly as the case may be). Assuming the officers get an hourly rate like everyone else (which is the way I want it to work), you would want that max pay ratio to be defined explicitly. The bonuses are also voted on so if that gets to be too much the voters can knock it down.
I started a public matrix room for the development of the server software. I’m pretty far along on the database schema now and you can even check out the new and improved Articles of Incorporation I drafted, including an analysis of it after I ran it through an LLM for an objective take. Message me if you can’t get it through matrix.
There will also be a set of Bylaws and it’s an open question if max pay ratios and bonus rates should go in there or in the AoI. If it goes in the AoI you have to file an amendment with the state, but the Bylaws are just internal votes.
In terms of the software, I’m going to make it so you can do things like anonymously submit or endorse your boss’s expulsion from the company, then send it to an anonymous vote. Pretty extreme to be sure but I’ve had bosses who deserved it. On the technical side I’m confident in my plan for secret votes and other challenges, but I would certainly welcome any input on it.
