11. What if we treated corporate executives the way we treat teachers?

Employees are regularly tested for intellectual and financial progress, and management is held responsible for guaranteeing both of these, regardless of the quality of the employee pool.

Their investments, pensions, medical programs, etc. are systematically gutted by stockholders, and refunded to customers.

Functional, competent, experienced managers are, at random, replaced with untrained amateurs volunteers, or with temp laborers who are paid a pittance, and hence are liable to cart off equipment and resources.

And resources are taken away from less-profitable businesses, while ignorant, condescending overseers are sent in to correct management's performance in front of their employees.
