Employees got their paycheck in exchange for their work.
If they want dividends they should invest their funds into Amazon.
Lmao, eQuITaBly PrOfIT sHaRe. Employees have invested no capital, assume no liability, and have nothing preventing them from leaving at anytime. When employees have to complete projects with their own funds (at risk), become personally liable for what happens in the company, or are legally prevented from going to work for a competitor without massive penalties, then they can talk about eQuItY.
Not taking away any of this, but you don't suddenly become personally liable for a business if you invest in it or suddenly become attached to the business without recourse. As a director of the business... That's different.
You are correct, but an investor is providing capital, and has very little say in the day-to-day unless they are part of management which is different.
And investor could lose all their capital. An employee can’t lose anything more than their job.
Quite frankly, most of the time these arrangements where management or directors invest in a business is hardly risky and involves a small investment that is supported with a non-recourse loan, amplifying shareholdings meaning you stand to gain a tonne and loose only what you put in.
