    A company[1] excommunicates a worker[2] for disrupting work[3] and having not worked for the amount of time the worker was disrupting the work.

    At least logically sound.

    It is not a community. It is not a non-profit, community oriented company. It is a company that does whatever it does, for money and power for itself ant not for anyone that gives power to it.
    It is to be expected.

    Why did companies start getting power over the people more than the organisations that are supposed to be for the people?

    1. which is basically a dictatorship by the top management, for the top management ↩︎

    2. that is here on paper, to work and nothing else and be paid for that ↩︎

    3. as is defined by the top management and not by any other entity ↩︎

      You’ve got it backwards. For most of history it was the other way around. We got to see a brief tantalizing glimpse of it in the 'oughties and naughties, and then the people who’s lifestyle depends on an exploitable workforce got scared and decided that was enough freedom for the peons

        But wasn’t it that for most of history, there were no such pyramidal corporations and the only ones that were, were full-blown kingdoms, with the more trade-oriented ones, being more co-operative than corporate?

        While trying to articulate my thoughts, I realise how lacking my historical information regarding this aspect is. I guess there might have been more corporate entities during the reconnaissance.
