I don’t want my salary dependent on how we are doing on a monthly basis.
If I create my own company, sure. But I can kinda control it.
If there are a thousand other people voting for dumb stuff and I loose a third of my income, I’m gonna loose it.
Also if we are doing equal splits, college is actually useless. Why would I waste my time becoming an engineer, if I could have earned the same money the whole time instead. Even worse with american college, where you not just loose all the salary from not working but also like 10-20,000 in tuition.
Seems like working at a co-op sacrifices wage stability and maybe wage amount in favor of job-security.
It solves some issues, but gives way to new ones.
While the jobs seem to be more secure, they also grow slower, so hire less.
This suggests to me, that the workload can also vary with the wage.
Overall I wouldn’t like it. I like planning my stuff. If once in a blue moon I get layed off, I can make new plans. But adjusting ervery month sounds exhausting.
Nah, fuck that.

Who said anything about equal splits?
There are a number of worker owned co-ops out there, and precisely none of them are run like you describe.
Did some research (read the wiki).
