Workers without a boss are like a fish without a bicycle.
AFAIK there is evidence that the best management strategy is to treat workers like a limb of a multi limbed species and let them mostly coordinate their own work capacity and problems. So you are on to something. But no centralized coordination can lead to its own problems.
See: Valve's lost decade.
Valve overcharges everyone so much that they could actually afford to try this and let their workers work on whatever they wanted. The end result was a cluster fuck that produced basically nothing for a decade.
It didn't matter, because, again, Valve rips the entire gaming industry off so badly that they were still wildly profitable, but it's part of why we saw no sequels to any of their games.
A horse with no name.
To the desert perchance?
Sure but since we've been trained and domesticated there are a lot of difficulties
Workers without a boss are more like a beehive with no queen.
Functional, but we're going to have to turn one of these unhatched eggs into a new set of genitals eventually.
And it's always Bob from Accounting who ends up swinging their sack around in the end.
I guess that depends on who you assume the worker is in this premise
If the "worker with no boss" is someone that is self employed, or they are the "boss", then they are closer to OPs example
If they are a lower level worker in a company that has no leadership at all, then it's closer to the bee example. However, just like with bees, the workers will raise a new bee to be the queen in order to keep the system functional
I think the difference between the hive and a workplace is that when a human boss mismanages a company and overworks the workers, the workers eventually burn out and get replaced, or the boss leaves to do the same thing at a new company. Bee hives can't do that, and if they mismanage the hive (by sending the wrong pheromones), then the colony dies
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
