Abstract: This paper asks what employees are taken to be in a company. Employees are directly within the entanglement the company handles; a post is a position, holding accountability, and the person behind the position goes by his own law. A company buys what people do, not people: wages are the price of what people do; a company may adjust what people do, but does not trade off the person himself. The cost of hard times falls on what is done, not on the person: the Base Layer is not traded away, a way out and a way forward are not taken away, and the reasons can be given and can be questioned; sharing first, progressive sharing, and not taking away what has already been earned are tendencies at the rule layer (GS5). Barry-Wehmiller's company-wide unpaid furloughs of 2009, Lincoln Electric's guaranteed employment from 1958, and Germany's short-time work allowance each show one way of landing; the contrast is Bluekiln Porcelain Works' layoffs in Year 25. Employees have a way out and a way forward: there is no clause making "leaving require the company's consent," and no non-compete; their life outside work, their beliefs and their associations, and whether they agree with the consensus written into the company, are theirs to decide; monitoring reaches only the work, not the person; giving conditions is the direction, in giving them the company does not set a person's direction for him, and deciding a person's own affairs for him under the guise of cultivation is colonization in the narrow sense (GS6). On decisions that affect employees, employees can ask through a channel independent of management, and asking has actual efficacy; seats and titles are not the same as efficacy, which is examined by the three questions; the form is left to the rule layer (GS7). The equal division of supervisory board seats between labor and capital under Germany's Codetermination Act shows exactly that parity of seats and whether a voice is real are two different things. Finally the paper speaks of direction: giving conditions, so that employees decide their own work for themselves. The paper has three propositions (GS5 to GS7), each stated at the end of its section and listed together at the end. 这一篇问员工在公司里被当作什么。员工直接身处公司处理的纠缠之中;岗位是一个位置,持职责,位置后面的人照他自己的法。公司买的是人做的事,不是人:工资是人做的事的价格,公司可以调整人做的事,不拿人本身去抵换。难关的代价落在事上,不落在人上:基础层不兑换,离得开、有的选不拿走,理由说得出、可被问;先分担,分担累进,已挣到的不拿走,是规则层的倾向(GS5)。Barry-Wehmiller 2009 年的全员无薪休假、林肯电气 1958 年起的保障就业、德国的短时工作补贴,各示范一种落法;对照是青窑瓷业第 25 年的裁员。员工离得开、有的选:没有"离开要公司同意"的条款,没有竞业禁止;他工作以外的生活、信念与结社,连同写进公司的那个共识认不认同,由他自己定;监控只及于工作,不及于人;给条件是方向,给的时候不替人定方向,装成涵育、替人定他自己的事,是窄义的殖民(GS6)。影响员工的决定,员工能经独立于管理层的通道去问,问了有实际效力;席位与名分不等于实效,照三问核;形式交规则层(GS7)。德国《共同决定法》的监事会劳资各半,正好示范席位对等与声音实不实是两回事。最后说方向:给条件,让员工自己的工作由自己定。全篇三条(GS5 至 GS7),各节末写出,篇末合列。 Related works(12) Relation Identifier Scheme Resource type Title References 10.5281/zenodo.19328662 DOI Publication / Preprint How Is Institution Possible: From Inter-Ontological Remainder to Co-Constructive Framework (SAE Foundational Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.23269635 DOI Publication / Preprint To Whom the Ought Is Addressed (SAE Institution Theory, Paper 1) References 10.5281/zenodo.23271324 DOI Publication / Preprint Open to Questioning (SAE Institution Theory, Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.23413511 DOI Publication / Preprint Questioning and Bearing (SAE Theory of Government, Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.23874140 DOI Publication / Preprint Chokepoints (SAE Political Economy, Paper 2) References 10.5281/zenodo.23874142 DOI Publication / Preprint Checks (SAE Political Economy, Paper 3) References 10.5281/zenodo.23874146 DOI Publication / Preprint Conversion (SAE Political Economy, Paper 4) References 10.5281/zenodo.23874154 DOI Publication / Preprint Support (SAE Political Economy, Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.24021385 DOI Publication / Preprint A Way Out, a Way Forward (SAE Political Economy, Specialist Paper) References 10.5281/zenodo.21252863 DOI Publication / Preprint On the Cultivation and Diachronic Unfolding of Rights (SAE Rights Theory, Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.19396633 DOI Publication / Preprint Kingdom of Ends vs Kingdom of Means: Phase-Transition Acceleration in the Age of AI (SAE Economics, Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.24045716 DOI Publication / Preprint What a Company Is Not (SAE Theory of the Company, Prequel)
