    One problem with hierarchies is the potential for abuse, now your boss is competent, but tomorrow your next boss may not be and then there is a problem. At the very least even a competent person makes mistakes.

    And that is all assuming your boss became your boss due to merits and not something like “my father owns the business”(been there, was asked to write mobile app in Haskell).

      Yeah sure but saying that there can be no voluntary hierarchies still seems excessive

        I think it’s fair to say that it’s only voluntary if it’s put in place by some consensus (and can be taken away by consensus). Say you work at a coop and all of the leadership is elected and can be easily recalled, then it’s voluntary. Even if you like your boss and don’t want their responsibilities, you ultimately don’t get a choice in the matter.

          I mean, its voluntary as i submit to it and even value it. There is too much work for one person to handle, so having a boss who sets priorities, and them having a boss who works at negotiating contracts and dealings to align his business segment to grow and fit inside his bosses view for the whole company so thousands of us can remain employed. Yea i dont want those roles and responsibilities (nor do I have that skillset) and i volunteer to be in this heirarchy

      I mean, you could use one of those FRP frameworks that compile to web pages, then use a webview, but eh

        If I remember correctly there was some kind of a framework or a library, but fuck that… I left the company a few months later.

      In this case, the hierarchy you’ve submitted to is the employer’s, rather than the boss. You can have successful hierarchies that promote good management, too. Not very common, though.

      Some people seems to don’t give a damn about that and happily plod away under good, bad, horrible bosses. Not changing work, not regretting, no nothing. So that it doesn’t exist, excluding femdom, is just not true.
