The Google incentive mismatch: Problems with promotion-oriented cultures
> Alternatives to promo-culturesWhat would a co-op look like?aka Worker Self-Directed Enterprise. https://www.democracyatwork.info/democratizing_the_workplaceCould a co-op technology startup raise capital? I have zero clue about such things. My guess is that VCs want to control the board and exec roles, so wouldn't fund an efforts where they can't replace the leaders.What about the co-ops and FOSS? I've been casually poking around, trying to see how misc projects are organized, governed. eg ZeroMQ, SQLite, Zig.What about the maturity of an industry? Sure, emerging markets and hyper growth are probably hostile to co-ops. BDFL vs democracy. But search is now mature. Take away the advertising biz model and it's just a bog standard IT project. Surely something like DDG could be a co-op.
