I hope you tip your earnings back to corporate and organize your peers to suppress your wages
I do a personal stock buy back which applies upward pressure to the stock price. I don't organize to suppress wages due to wanting to avoid the secondary effects of driving away good talent.
Doesn't sound like the talent is very good if they are not so mission-driven to donate their wages to shareholders.

You want to surround yourself with peers who negotiate for as high pay as the market will bear? That sounds like a sacrifice of shareholder value for selfish cause. Just because workers have leverage doesn't mean they should use it against shareholders.
