Some people prefer really formal places, with clear corporate policies and procedures. Other people like more laid back, make it up as you go along. Some like pressurised, some don’t. What culture do you like?

  • There are cooperatives which work this way, basically there is no boss and so no one person gets more money than the others, they all share responsibilities and/or do what they are good at. There’s more freedom to come and go as they please (why work more than is necessary). It’s based very much on anarchist principles, especially anarcho-syndaclism.

    It creates a less hostile, less competitive workplace and more people actually care about the ‘company’ and its long term survival than looking to make a quick buck or to gain skills and get out of there.

    [Sincere, not sarcastic] Does that answer your question? If not we can have a think and get back to you.

      I would be satisfied with there being a hierarchy of pay so long as there’s no hierarchy of respect. Someone junior to you who earns less than you shouldn’t have to treat you any differently than they would their peer, nor should the well–paid senior employee be above treating everyone with decency. If I can be blunt and casual with the C level who earns 3 times my salary, I’m cool with that being the case.
