Document Summary

Best places to work = more successful companies. Workers protesting because their boss was fired from market basket: person who fired him wanted more money to go to company and less to shareholders. For every 1 good place to work, the vast majority are not great. Relationship of trust and culture: best companies have a team/family culture. Employees at whole foods vote people on their team. Being store ambassador is more important than the money. Only 3/10 workers are engaged to their work: can cost businesses billion in loss. Who are investors: people who buy stock of publicly traded companies. Shareholders = owners/invest in order to make a profit. Mutual funds, hedge funds, investment banks, retirement funds, endowments; hold millions of shares. People like us, employees in 401 k plans, usually encouraged to buy their employer"s stocks with discount.
