Needless to say that I strongly disagree with that description. Sounds like the garden Eden of stockmarketing. But when the management of a company earns let'S say 1000 times as much money than it's factory employees, if the managers grant themselves a 30% increase in their already million-heavy incomes while at the same time they made decisons that brought their company into trouble so that employees get fired or have to accept loan-cuts, than I know what to make of that saying that they are all sitting in the same boat. Thinking of George Orwell: some are more equal than others. you base on the idealized theory, August. But it is an utopia only. Reality in 4 out of 5 companies (at least) looks far, far worse.
