But why would this employee put in that more work than anybody else? Just to get the same amount of compensation as anybody else? I certainly wouldn't put up with all the complications of leading a bunch of people without being paid extra.

Who said that's the case?

Than I don't really get the idea. Could you elaborate?

  • As far as I understood, the company's shares belong to the employees ("everyone gets a seat on the board") and those elect a director which in turn organises the work structure, assigns roles etc. Correct?
  • Can he be replaced at all times?
  • How is the compensation of the employees determined?
  • How are employees handled which are not performing their duties?
  • Can employees be fired?
  • How can employees join and leave the company?
  • Do they return their shares on leaving?
  • Can they buy and sell their shares?
  • How do new employees get their shares? Are they assigned or bought?
  • How is capital raised for large long-term investments like a new machine?
  • If the employees bring up the capital, do they get interest?
  • What if no capital can be raised? Is the company terminated?
  • Can some employees put in more capital than others?
  • Is the financial gain distributed equally between the employees?
