Kick Out Your Boss

You vote on balance sheets of the company you work for, you do not need a bank anymore to obtain a credit, and you spend your Monday afternoon in the cinema instead of in the office – the restructuring of work has already begun. 197 million unemployed people and the widespread phenomenon of physical or mental collapse known as burnout are arguments enough to find alternatives to economic systems whose only goal is the single-minded pursuit of profit maximization. This documentary gets right into the middle of the current discussions and demonstrates with the help of three examples in Brazil, Serbia and Austria how such systems can work in different ways: workers’ participation, profit-sharing, abolition of hierarchy – they all work without employees having to fear the loss of their livelihood or wage cuts.
