so the recent job opening at the bike kitchen in LA reminded me of something
I'd very much like to discuss at bikebike, namely how, if you, compensate
managers. Currently our collective members are de facto managers, and the
recent influx of new volunteers/people in our shop is making some of us
think about the possibility of creating a manager role. Right now we have
no way to pay this person, but that might change in the future.
so I guess if yall have a minute, can you tell me a little about how your
organization deals with it? specifically, if you do offer compensation,
does it affect their decisiion making powers? I noticed that the bike
kitchen's job opening states that the person would not have executive
decisionl, and I can see why since that person's power is already pretty
great considering they'd be the manager of the shop.
anyways, this is something I'm really interested in and want to pursue @
bikebike.
