If that is true, they are incredibly stupid. Empowered workers create better, more effective companies.

But they also create workers that can hop off the ship. If they're on a sinking one, they have no choice but to work hard to get back to shore.

I don't think CEO class want better, more effective companies. They have nothing to gain by that. They want monopoly situation for themselves, locked customers and helpless dependent employees.

		Enough control will create value for them anyway, it just might be at the expense of everyone else.
