    The CEOs are absolutely overpaid for what little they actually do, but I’m not sure I willing to say they do literally nothing. It’s not exactly being a capitalist boot licker to acknowledge that there needs to be somebody steering the ship.

    Or are you talking about literally just the building? Because frankly there are a lot of working class people who don’t actually need to be in the building at all and nothing would change if they weren’t there.

        Coordinating a plan and orchestrating the various parts of the organization towards it. Listen I prefer janitors to CEOs, but I’ve had some really bad executives and I understand that worker owned coops often have management and executives for a reason

          The CEO… sorry, ALL the management should answer to the workers first. That or pull the work by themselves without the workers.

            Middle class is a subgroup of the working class, since working class is a description of one’s relationship with labor.

            Unless you’re talking about petty booj small business owners.

            There are rarely working class jobs that would benefit from not being present. There are jobs that can have machines replace them or who are necessary by reason of process inefficiency or even by nature of the individual worker.

            But also why do you think I’m taking any stance otherwise? I said that a ceo who answers to the workers can provide benefits to the organization. I didn’t imply we didn’t need janitors. I didn’t say anything about the boots on the ground labor except that I generally happen to like janitors more than executives, which I stand firmly by.

            Edit: oh you may not have recognized I’m a different person. I didn’t agree with the whole of the comment of the person you replied to
