Seems similar to how communist party of the soviet union worked. As any organization becomes huge, psychopaths migrate to the top and make it shitty. Maybe solution is some kind of mandatory splitting at some size?
- p_l 2y ago"Old" Hewlett-Packard mandated that each sub-company should not be larger than X people (I think I've seen mentions of X=100 with X=150 being splitting point)
