A couple of key concepts

A couple of concepts that have been rattling around in my head is the idea of a "non-working owner".  How can a person who has never worked for a company and never invested any money be entitled to a portion of the profits?

That is the definition of a non-working owner or "NWO".

The "stockholders" as these are known, then pressure to the CEO to increase revenue and depress expenses (read: wages) to maximize their dividend and stock price (unworked for profit).
