Everyone is different and has different motivations. We don't all think the same way, either.
Some workers just want a stable, sane work environment and are willing to compromise on pay for other benefits. These same people are typically willing to let others do more work for more pay because it makes their own lives easier.
One possible approach: you could do an exercise where everyone gets $N imaginary dollars and they can bid to not do certain tasks. The bid against each task is then the compensation for that task.

- MrJohz 3y agoBut nobody is saying that everyone has to be equal. Coops have measurable pay ratios just like everyone else, they just tend not to be as large as non-coops. More important (or harder to find) roles will obviously get paid more. At the end of the day, most people want to get paid, and to get paid, at least in the long term, you need a viable business. So workers tend to make choices that ensure the business is able to survive, because that is more valuable in the long run than lining their own pockets right now and not having a job to go to tomorrow.
