It has happened, famously, with some workers' cooperatives, and they
inevitably fail for obvious reasons. Yet we persist in doing it here
-- and worse, because we have no idea who our "menial employees" are,
or whether we have one person filling several jobs -- using the excuse
that adminship is "no big deal." Ditch that attitude, and we would
quickly find a way to deal with some of our problems. So long as it's
in place, there's no will to find creative solutions.
