TableTop Gaming is a worker cooperative, “a jointly-owned and democratically controlled enterprise”. Every worker is a member owner. Our team primarily works remotely and asynchronously through our online store. We have a physical storefront in Syracuse, NY for sales and events. We have a flat direct democracy (one person one vote) model, agreeing on proposals by reaching a 70% or more consensus. Profit (member distributions) is distributed based on the ratio of roles/positions one takes up vs. the total distribution of roles. Member distributions are to occur at a minimum of once per quarter, at the start date of that quarter. Feel free to ask any questions about this and/or any other aspect of the job in your application.

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO
• Extremely flexible working hours (determined by you)
• Purchase of any inventory > 1 (at cost + shipping & tax)

Application Questions

• On a scale of 1-10 (1 being don’t care, 10 being it’s your favorite thing), how do you feel about board games, trading card games, wargaming, etc.?
• This company is a worker cooperative and engages in profit sharing (instead of wages), is this something you have worked with, heard of, or are interested in? (If the answer is no, or unsure, please look up what a worker co-op is before continuing the application.)
• Payouts are currently on a quarterly basis. As a worker co-op this means that if the business does not make more money than its expenses, no one gets paid. We have yet to have any payouts because we have not been profitable and are unsure on if that will occur up to 6 months or maybe even a year from now. Are you ok with working under this business model?
• Would you be willing to commit yourself to staying part of the coop for at least 6 months? Even if the coop isn’t profitable during those 6 months?
• Are you familiar with and have you managed a Discord server before?
