All real world data shows that won't work well. Should we go by data or feels?

Silicon Valley pays the highest and employs the most number of programmers and has done so with employees on boards. Other places and countries with board-level employee representation seem to do worse.

What's the logical argument that board-level employee representation won't employee pay or total employment?

Correlation and causation, just because US has high salaries doesn't mean it's because of that etc etc

If you are suggesting a huge change, then you should be the one to show it is a good change.

I have read the parent comment twice, what is the argument or data supporting employees on boards will be good overall?

What data point do you have? Do you have a causal data point? Would love to hear that!

Read again. I didn't suggest that.
