Consider the following scenario.
- Democracy extends to your employer.
- Democracy extends to you as an individual.
- Company policy extends to you as an employee.
- You spend more waking hours at work than you do on your own.
Respond to the statement that your experience of democracy is largely controlled by company policy or at the pleasure of management.
The Usurpation of Democracy by Corporate Tradition
To be publicly traded, a corporation assumes public responsibilities. Chief among these but heretofore overlooked should be the implementation of democratic processes throughout the organization at every level. This is in fact the only way to ensure the ongoing enforcement of the other elements of public responsibility and the only reason for their heretofore typical neglect. The honor system never did work and this is why democracy was invented so long ago.
