Apologies for misunderstanding your intention. Genuinely curious but what's your definition of 'reproductive' work?

> I think that this might not be considering the inherent politics of work and the power dynamics present in every business. To be clear, I don't think the comment is coming from a bad place, I just think that it points to a common fallacy that any sort of "meritocracy" is possible in business as usual. When you have a small group of people holding power there are few incentives for them to share that power. And In my experience it is the person who is able to sell themselves the best that gets the highest reward, not the most productive.

You're absolutely right and I see it with my experience as well. The highest rewards don't usually tend to fall naturally and equally to everyone whom we deem to be the most productive. And while there may be few incentives to share the power in small groups, one would hope that the goodness of an individual's heart would lead them to do so.
