Shareholders are not making decisions on who gets hired or what anyone besides the CEO gets paid. That is the whole point of a publicly owned company. The employees of the company run it, the shareholders entrust them with near full authority to run it and only have input on major decisions like who the CEO is or if the company should go through a merger/purchase/sale etc. Someone who has shares in a market index fund isn't making hiring/wage calls for the hundreds of companies they own stakes in![]()
Eh...I mean...thats kinda untrue. I get your point though. Depends on the company.
