Why not start the process of transforming it into a coop sooner? I know a business owner getting ready to retire, in the same boat as you. Except now he’s gonna have finance the sale for them and not all of them want to be an owner. To me, that is silly, but more power, more problems.
I agree with the OP’s response. It was well written and gave you several options. In particular, the point about cultural expectations sounds like the most pertinent. I don’t know what your working relationship is with your director, but the fact that they first apologized and second, when they understood your motives, lauded you.
It does suck having your good faith questions misinterpreted. However, it’s unclear what your director did or said that made you feel you were kissing his ring. Did he scold you? Or just explain how he felt about your question?
Others have given resources about coops and flat heirarchies, but this sounds like you want a very specific corporate culture. Even in the right fit, you are influencing people and will have to work with their personalities. Politics will always be part of the game as long as there are limited resources and risks in allocating those resources.
I don’t see how taxation changes the balance of power. Their power is not, as you said, the size of their bank account, but in their ownership of the company’s assets. They also don’t create the company’s value with their work. The employees do.
This is more of what I remember.
A wizard! Tis why they fled.
To do it over and over again may be morality, but it isn’t politics.
Your day will come and it will all be worth it. My day came when the mice arrived. My wife, the one who holds me back, let me loose. Glass jars to the moon! Mice had no chance! I am king again. Brrruhhshahhahaahaha! Cackle cackle evil victory laugh.
Fake news.
Safety isn’t a thing that only happens when in motion. Checking your surroundings when stopped so you know when to go is important.
But he’ll, I think video billboards should be banned too.
My folks still have those dishes. It’s their daily driver.
I hoping to ascend and not to climb. I’ve gotta say, I’m worried that after a while god might not be able to do it. Like he gets me half way up and then I just kind slowly drop down to earth… And hes like all apologizing … “Sorry, it’s been a long day. This has never happened to me before. Maybe we can try again in the morning.” So on and so on.
All the while knowing he was intimidated by me swinging around my rock hard cock yelling “Look mom! No hands!”
The title did not prepare me for the absolute horrors in the article.
Are we still doing phrasing?
Speedy Gonzales is laudable only because he contrasts the other sterotypes such as the drunken mice that occasionally help or Slowpoke Rodriguez, who I always thought of as super chill and awesome. But if I to pick which would stereotype would represent my minority, I’d also choose the model minority stereotype.
What an odd way to spend ten months.
Say more. Asking for … Umm … A friend. Yes, I have those.
