Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops?

Yes, I agree, it is very hard. The perspective and the idea of the co-op however is completely different from what you describe: to distribute the hardships, the risks and rewards right from the start on many shoulders. There’s no more “my company, my sacrifices” etc.

That sounds great, but how does that translate into real-world scenarios that organizations experience? As an example:

How do co-ops decide who needs to be fired when there isn’t enough money to cover payroll?
