Oh, you can alright. Stock-options in startups, for example, are little more than pretend, considering the actual chances you'll see any money from them.
In the end, to be honest, I'd rather have pretend-decision-sharing than pretend-ownership, i.e. businesses that are egalitarian on paper but not in reality. Europe is full of "service co-ops" where people are members in theory but simple employees in practice, orgs built just to game taxes or minimum-wage regulations. That's the worst.
