The privately owned business usually still has investors. Almost nobody has enough capital on their own to create a large business without raising capital.

It's the same concept, regardless of your claimed minute differences.

Yes every company does. Even private companies. Money/capital has to come from somewhere to start. A single owner is a shareholder...

Could be. Started here as a freshman in college, and now it's been almost 15 years since then lol

It started so long ago that most people have left due to toxicity and those remaining are toxic and too young to understand history or so far up academia's ass still that they have no actual experience to draw from. Either way, Reddit is fucking terrible. It's not what it used to be that's for damn sure

Exactly. Why are people crying for those who make a ton of money? I took a job with a higher salary and lower variable comp because... I value... stability... Reddit wants to cry and bemoan for people that 2 years ago were making $300k with most of it being stock? Fuck that

You fundamentally don't understand capitalism, or if you do are just woefully misguided. Holy shit. The workers wouldn't have a job without shareholders. There would be no "work" to do and no money to earn. I'm not some corporate shill, but I also didn't stake millions to start a business. If you take risk then you get reward.

If you don't like being an employee then start a business, take the risk with your own capital, and run it however you like. Otherwise, kindly learn some history and economics

If you work for Amazon, your life isn't tough. Work may be tough, but this is a first world problem that we shouldn't even be discussing. Stupid article
