My view: most workers just want a paycheck and at the end of the work day leave work at work. That isn't compatible with running a company. Besides, even in worker-owned companies an implicit hierarchy emerges and gains its own inertia until eventually "ownership" is technically true but doesn't mean much.

- ryanwaggoner 9y agoI'm not talking about "holacracy" or some super-flat structure. You can still hire management to run the company, but the employees get the ultimate profit from the company. Member-owned cooperatives are interesting for some of the same reasons, and seem to work well in many cases. Just wondering why we don't have more of these structures.
