>Employees take on a lot of risk. They risk being laid off and they have to put all their eggs in one basket.
That's not a lot of risk. If they get laid off, they don't lose an initial investment like the shareholders do. If I get laid off today, I will just go find another job. I don't lose my previous wages.
>They also risk damage to their career if their company assigns to them work that doesn't look good on resume.
Doing something shitty is entirely the employees choice. If they aren't happy with the compensation they get for doing that thing, then they should move to a different company.
Most of us live in a world where it's not so easy to just take another job if the current doesn't meet expectations. In addition you have almost no way tell upfront if the new job will be any better.
