Being a co-op doesn't mean you have to cut yourself off from the outside world.
- Pet_Ant 5y agoThat is the slippery slope to eroding the co-operative. You don't work for the company but rather the programmer company they contract out to. That way instead of wealth disparity within a company you have it hidden amongst cooperatives. No net gain. And this isn't just being facetious, the executive team already sees the sales team as the real value-adders and the developers as merely a cost centre. Either you respect the toilet cleaner or you don't respect anyone. As an annecdote, the company handy-man was the social glue that held morale together. He was never recognised for it, but it was always him firing up the grill on a nice day, or remembering your birthday. Everyone matters or no one does.

- busterarm 5y agosmile You perfectly described the grenade hiding in my question. I've seen so many co-ops fall apart over things like this.
