      This is an ideal concept but for me a shareholder should be like a private financer that holds an interest on a company that gets sacked the moment the capital they lent is returned with interest.

      I could not care less if a company I was invested in stated it was aiming to have a fixed yearly profit of X amount, no more, no less. That would send a clear message the company would be aiming for quality in their products/services and trust with their clients, with no funny ideas behind the scenes to squeeze pennies and dimmes in blood from the employees.

      Oh, and as a shareholder, the last thing I would want would be a CEO or whatever chair aiming for bonus: you earn a salary, get benefits, that is it. If you get the boot, you are just another employee, not a rockstar.

      It’s free money for me, I don’t hold any other stocks, it’s just because they give them.

      I signed a deal for around 10k stocks over 4 years (worth 250k at the time, worth 350k now), in top of my full salary.

      Would you say no? Haha
