    Co-ops are a big part of the global economy: they employ 10% of the world’s workforce and over two trillion dollars flow through their doors every year. At a co-op, there’s no single person with overarching, top-down power over everyone else, like a CEO at a traditional company.

    I’d also like to point out, having spent years working with C-suite guys… They are lazy as fuck and they don’t do jack shit that a decent manager couldn’t do as well or better. For example, the manager would at least know how to not fuck up morale.

      I am all for coops. What makes you think I am not. But many coops have a C-suite too - John Lewis and Coop Retail in the U.K. are big examples.
