How come there is only a small amount of business structures?

I’m interested in starting an almost communist type structure, where everyone does everything, and people are paid based on sonority, mental and physical stress rather then credentials and internal political influence. Also I would like it if 1/3 of profit would go towards the employees as extra pay which is relative to the amount of income, and success the business would have. (the other 2 would be for the business to excel).

Is there anything out there like this?

First, why would you want everyone to do everything. That is a very bad use of resources. Not everyone has the same skills and adding that many layers to an operation is cumbersome. Your cost structure would be too high to sustain the business and you would go out of business.

Why not give important to credentials? That’s how you attract higher skilled workers. If you do not give higher skilled workers priority you will lose them and be stuck with only lower skilled workers. In such a case your competition would stem roll right over you.

Second how would you gauge mental and physical stress? and how would you keep it free from internal political influence? What you find stressful I am find easy and visa versa, and so our internal political influence would determine which one of us was correct.

Profit sharing is part of many business structures one a days. It is used as a motivational tool. There are also what are called employ run companies, this is often brought about when a company is not doing to well and so arranges with the employs to take stock in the company in place of part of their salary. If this process is kept for a long enough time the employees gain majority share in the company.

In the end the closest thing I can think of that matches your wishes are highly unitized industries. An example could be the American Auto Industry; there are a lot of union rules that insure people are paid based on seniority vs skill, hazard pay is give in highly stressful and dangerous job functions, and people can move around to the job functions they like best. Compensation is also decided by the work force rather then the Employer. Unfortunately as I said above this system deviates the cost structure of the US auto Working companies and makes them unable to compete; the result is that the US auto working companies are in very bad shape right now and will continue to decline.

Good luck with your pursuit; unfortunate what you are asking for is not a good thing even if it sounds good on paper. It is not sustainable in real life.

I take that back, if your company was small enough, say made up of only a small handful of people you may be able to slug along for a while. So long as your competition is happy to let you survive.
