What's you experience and opinion about cooperatives?

Disclaimer: I've been part of the Camplight cooperative for a couple of years now. We are a worker-owned venture-building platform cooperative.

Are you all based in EU?  The portfolio seems to suggest that but interested in learning how projects are selected or sourced

After this past few years, I can 1000% agree with this statement you made-

"all organizations are flawed to some degree. They are human constructs, and we know how unenlightened we are. If we want to be grateful, we should choose the flaws in our tolerance zone."

I have been in 3 different organizations in the past 4 years, each one had something terribly wrong with it. The first was very old leadership resistant to change at the onset of COVID (15+ years in the same role and veery little innovation). The next two were startups with passionate founders with no product-market fit. It was very difficult to get any collaboration done and every feature launch felt like a red alarm emergency due to poor communication and discipline. I left those roles because it was so frustrating, like hitting my head into a wall.

Can you explain a little more about what this is exactly? Are you assigned projects and paid that way? How does comp work? More than anything else, I want to make sure there is stability as most of us are able to tolerate more based on the comp received
