PSA: Profit is the portion of money NOT distributed back to the employees who generated it.

Mullet McReeve
Even if we removed non-employee ie non-productive stakeholders (passive investors), the secondary issue is that profit can still be distributed among employees unfairly. So even in a coop, the executive administration can take a disproportionate share of the profits. We need better ways of assessing the relative worth of labor. Currrent Clevel compensation is obviously broken, but it isn’t as simple as dividing profits by # of employees. I think solving this piece would help advance arguments for getting rid of the former problem too.
