Why don't...

...employees layoff the company they work for?

Switch it up. All quit to cause the company to leave the scene. Why not?

If all did do such, then the money pumping in them will go to a better company which in turn should hire more. Then many don't have to get stuck in a low quality job environment for a living. Quit the B.S. jobs sure to pay less or layoff, to allow money to go into a better direction. It's like if a lemonade stand closes down to no longer get money, and their is a smoothy stand somewhere else, then the ppl that left the lemonade stand should know the money flow of consumers is gonna go to the next best thing (the smoothe stand), and should know where the money flow by consumers is where new jobs open up to take on the consumers that left thier first love (lemonade).

All wishful thinking. Business is not that simple. If workers collectively resigned no one would hire them because other companies would just see them as a troublesome lot.

Besides, there's already such a thing. They're called unions.

Naw, unions negotiate. All shouldn't even have to get brought to that B.S. level to begin with, and should seek quality from the start and through with whom they work for. When one sees another B.S.ing or putting them in B.S. conditions, it's time to shut 'em down with no debate. Just like how companies can terminate you how you subjected to it. So true individuals can play that game, and better by laying off the company how I say. Otherwise you lack self-respect.

You should definitely do that. You and your co-workers should mortgage your houses (if you're not under water) and buy all the stocks of the company you own. You would then own the company... If your company is private? No problem, contact an underwriter and take the company public then buy all the shares with you and your co-workers...

Self-respect? Or sound realistic judgment?

There's a difference, ya know?

If that's even possible, the owners could simply outbid you price-wise. If they don't have the money they could easily apply for a loan by the millions.

You guys are not thinking clearly.
