No, and I like it that way.

Shareholders hold the shares of the company, and not the shares of mine. So, they can go fuck themselves. Every act of mine is to generate value for myself, not for some rich fart.

Have you no compassion? Think of the poor desolute shareholders, they need you, they need your labour, it is your duty as a fellow human being to do everything to make their numbers go up is it not?

I am self-employed and as the sole shareholder I can confidently say "no".

Working somewhere without a profit motive has done wonders for my mental health (at least re my job)

[–] otterpop@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Yes, this is key. Usually places without profit motive are serving the people in some capacity rather than serving the dollar.

When we forge burgers at the restaurant foundry, we chant:

They share the hold!!!

This comment gave me strong cloud atlas vibes with the Una-939 storyline

God, I hope not

The answer is always 'no'.

Or “only as a collateral effect of providing value for myself”.

Am public servant, so no. But if by 'shareholders' you mean the taxpaying public, then, hopefully, yes.
