In this talk\, engi neer Rakhi Sharma takes us inside a real worker-owned tech company to expl ore what changes when you’re not just an employee\, but an owner. Using the example of a long-running open-source engineering cooperative\, she’ ll show how decisions get made without bosses\, how conflict works when th ere’s no manager to escalate to\, and what happens when a “flat” co- op grows beyond 150 people. Rather than treating co-ops as utopian excepti ons\, this session looks at them as organizational patterns: repeatable sy stems that can survive market pressure\, scale across countries\, and stay aligned with their original values — all while being owned and run by t he people doing the work.

What if everyone has an equa l say? - How decisions get made without a traditional boss\, and what happ ens when people strongly disagree. Conflict without managers - How co-ops handle tension\, disagreement and “deadlock” when there’s no hierarc hical ladder to run up.
