Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Some people prefer really formal places, with clear corporate policies and procedures. Other people like more laid back, make it up as you go along. Some like pressurised, some don't. What culture do you like?

There are cooperatives which work this way, basically there is no boss and so no one person gets more money than the others, they all share responsibilities and/or do what they are good at. There's more freedom to come and go as they please (why work more than is necessary). It's based very much on anarchist principles, especially anarcho-syndaclism.

It creates a less hostile, less competitive workplace and more people actually care about the 'company' and its long term survival than looking to make a quick buck or to gain skills and get out of there.

[Sincere, not sarcastic] Does that answer your question? If not we can have a think and get back to you.

I would be satisfied with there being a hierarchy of pay so long as there's no hierarchy of respect. Someone junior to you who earns less than you shouldn't have to treat you any differently than they would their peer, nor should the well–paid senior employee be above treating everyone with decency. If I can be blunt and casual with the C level who earns 3 times my salary, I'm cool with that being the case.

If this truly adult view would be the norm it would suck much less to imagine working in a "normal" office-environment.

But your PoV surely isn't the norm. Usually even the same "level" of (mostly) men is highly competitive. We have a fitting saying: "Suck up to those above you and kick those below you." Which my parents even tried to teach me....

I truly despise this workplace-ethic. I prefer working cooperative.

Money isn't much of a motivator for us though sadly we need it to live. We do get the respect part though. We'd rather work somewhere where all are truly equal and care about the work they are doing as it would be meaningful, not full of bullshit jobs, or exists only for capitalism and to advance it.
