So it makes more sense to me to view every employment relationship, to the extent it exists, as transactional: the employer wants one thing, the worker another, and they exchange labor for money.
I mean, this is certainly not the relationship I have with my employer.
Here is an alternative approach you could use which would get you closer to this:
(Non-profit and values ~aligned) employeers pay competitive wages or (ideally) pay in impact equity.
Employees adopt the norm of maximizing (expected) profit. They can donate this to a charity of interest. (Including donating it back to the charity they work at, but this isn’t an expectation.)
This seems like a good approach naively, but unfortunately, I think there are a number of inefficiencies with wages and impact assessment that imply the costs here aren’t worth the benefits in clarity.
