There are some companies called EOCs (Employee Owned Company) which invest every employee with incentive to help the company survive and thrive. This helps to create an environment of teamwork, which does not usually exist in other companies.
Aside from those who choose the roles to rule over others—the higher paid positions of upper management, CEOs etc.—there is the other side of that coin—the followers. Many people are still in the sinkhole of indifference—not choosing consciously and just surviving. In the work environment, they are "employees," doing what someone else tells them to do. So we have division and separation, which is accountable on both sides of the coin. The general consciousness of humankind is still in predator/prey. It seems to be a long process of emerging form this situation.
To confuse this more, the world workforce has completely morphed due to the Internet. There is opportunity there, but slogging through the sea of scams, mediocrity, celebrity worship, and other obstacles isn't easy. In addition, once again we have a situation where "the person with the most money [often] wins." This is evident on Amazon, where sponsored ads are the only products buyers ever see.
However, things are what they are at this time. So within the framework of today's career/workforce situation, a fresh look at things is warranted. I'm still trying to sort this out as the world has changed SO much in this regard. What used to be viable is no longer.
I would love to hear from anyone who has built a successful online business. I am in the process now with a couple of ventures, and would appreciate any insights.
People should be very careful about assuming that someone who is in a management or high tier position in a company is there because they desire to rule over others. I am second in command at my company and will be in charge one day. If I don't do my job properly I will put 30+ people out of work and they won't be able to take care of their families. Some people are certainly in those positions because they enjoy power, but just like anything else it can be a service to others too. Same goes for selling products. Many people feel like it is not spiritual to sell something for profit, but when you provide a valuable service to someone and they willingly pay for it, that allows you to continue providing that service and to keep plenty of people employed. There is plenty to discuss about the merits and demerits of any system of trade but just because you disagree with a system does not mean those who engage in that system are service to self or otherwise morally wrong.
