There have been lots of discussions here on HN, personally I think that an employee-run company still needs leadership. And companies can be good for employees without needing to be employee-run. See for example Valve, there's been a lot written about it, not all of it good: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jul/30/no-bosses-managers-flat-hierachy-workplace-tech-hollywood https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jul/30/no-bos... https://www.pcgamer.com/ex-valve-employee-describes-ruthless-industry-politics/ https://www.pcgamer.com/ex-valve-employee-describes-ruthless... Politics will ALWAYS exist at a workplace.
