    Actually, I was thinking of companies and managers being eliminated.
The workers can always get hired by whoever takes over, of coarse this
is not always true I'll admit.
    I rather like what you're saying now though, and I'm definitely
supportive of productivity incentives, making employees partners in
the business, and such things. I don't know about power sharing, this
could be interpreted as administration by committee --- this would be
creeping death for a company, economically speaking.
