so the recent job opening at the bike kitchen in LA reminded me of something I&#39;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.<br>
<br>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&#39;s job opening states that the person would not have executive decisionl, and I can see why since that person&#39;s power is already pretty great considering they&#39;d be the manager of the shop.  <br>
<br>anyways, this is something I&#39;m really interested in and want to pursue @ bikebike.<br><br>-B<br>
