I mean, it's usually part of the premise of "worker owned" that there's going to be a heavy reduction in what you might kindly call administrative staff.
Concretely: I recently saw a worker-owned coop offering everyone 60k euro per annum regardless of role (fully remote).
That's livable almost anywhere, and it's a reasonable salary for a mid-level dev in the Phillipines, but more experienced folk are going to find it hard to give up the option of earning 2-4 times as much.
Their product is flaky as hell and it's driving customers away in spite of their unique positioning.
