If they fired all three of those guys, they could pay a 12k severance to each of the fired employees. Or employ then all for a couple months.
Are you suggesting the company runs with no leadership? Or are suggesting the board hires leaders with less experience? Or are you suggesting the board offers less to the leaders they attempt to hire (who - broadly - choose based on the size of their compensation, like everybody else)?
No leaders or bad leaders tend to lead to failing companies and more job losses.
Try and be specific about your proposal instead of just spluttering platitudes.
Co-ops are a big part of the global economy: they employ 10% of the world’s workforce and over two trillion dollars flow through their doors every year. At a co-op, there’s no single person with overarching, top-down power over everyone else, like a CEO at a traditional company.
I'd also like to point out, having spent years working with C-suite guys... They are lazy as fuck and they don't do jack shit that a decent manager couldn't do as well or better. For example, the manager would at least know how to not fuck up morale.
I am all for coops. What makes you think I am not. But many coops have a C-suite too - John Lewis and Coop Retail in the U.K. are big examples.
