The blue LED was supposed to be impossible—until a young engineer proposed a moonshot idea.

It sucks that they're down voting you for being correct in your top comment, though I think I agree with the down votes for your characterisation of worker controlled enterprises as "a complete disaster". They actually work well

    I would say that the thing that makes me want to downvote that comment the most is the part where you get stocks/options "if that's what you want".

    It's not like every company would offer you that and even if they do promise they might not do that

    Our team has joined a big company and we were promised stocks but sure enough they said "we usually don't do that so we don't have a contract for such a case". Our manager almost made them hold their word a year after we joined, then he got fired and sure enough we got nothing. Well, at least the other conditions were not too bad and then the team split and everyone went their own way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
