Sounds like the bosses positions should be cut then.

And in a worker cooperative that's exactly what would happen.

    I’ve always wondered if that’s how management views their hierarchy. Many middle managers view themselves as a wasted resource

    In a worker coop workers generally want, appreciate, and hire managers for themselves. But there are power dynamic diffetences:

    • The workers are the boss
    • Managers do not get overinflated compensation packages
    • A typical max income differential of lowest to highest paid is 1:10

    Managers help organize and facilitate production, but it is the workers themselves who have to be pleased.

    That's not to say some worker coop couldn't choose to do without the manager role. Maybe some exist like that.
