Just curious about something... if you off your employees a risk to reward employment scenario, do you also offer a level of real control to help navigate the risk? My employers goals and objectives may not be the same as mine in a given situation, so I would want to have enough direct control to be able to influence the decisions that would affect me, my income and so on.
