- fasthands9 3y agoI don't disagree with this - but work at a co-op if you prefer that system of management? I actually like working at a corporation because I don't have to play politics or worry about parts of the business I'm not involved in. It would be hell if I had to spend my evenings in meetings about foreign policy issues or disciplinary hearings for employees in other departments.
