I recently read that George Washington was often frustrated that his slaves would not work hard and needed to be constantly watched and threatened to be productive. This reminds me of that.

If you have completely misaligned economic incentives you should expect misaligned performance from your employees. A founder or executive stands to reap so much more from their effort. Expecting someone to give up large amounts of their time in the prime of their life for mediocre pay on a project that they have little to no agency over is crazy.

It amazes me how angry capitalists get when the employees act like capitalists.

If they don't need 50%+ of their employees they probably need don't need 95+% of their management.
