Honestly I&#x27;m surprised this doesn&#x27;t happen more. While yes, it was a very kind gesture by Ulukaya to give his employees partial ownership, it also makes each of them much more involved in the long term success of the company. Putting a company on the stock market is selling it to people who are only interested in earnings for a few quarters at most, while employees will have interest in not only the growth of the company, but the sustainability of the operation.<p>At least that&#x27;s my impression of employee owned businesses, it seems like a smart economic move.
