In the Cory Doctorow book "walkaways" there's this central version controlled repository that basically makes all the decisions for this commune about who should do what. Anyone can contribute to it (although AFAIR the review process wasn't too fleshed out).
Regarding Amazon, Uber and other "instant employment" type companies - it's a weird world, where you can basically get automatically hired and fired by an algorithm. It creates, in theory, full employment (although not very good employment, at least right now) and gives workers more leverage if they want to quit another job, but also more instability if the rules for the new job aren't made clear or are applied arbitrarily. It also feels like we're in a very nascent stage for this. Maybe this could be done better - it seems like an area that is ripe for disruption.
