Strypey<p>Tech workers are not replaceable modules. Starting a solidarity economic company means building it around the skills, knowledge and interests of the tech workers who are keen to participate. When transitioning an existing company to being a platform co-op, it can be a struggle to attract tech workers who are keen *and* want to work within the company's established ways of operating. A serious organisational refactor can be required with staff changes.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/SolidarityEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolidarityEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/PlatformCooperatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlatformCooperatives</span></a></p>
