One of the defining features of hierarchy is that you take the powerful and exciting jobs for yourself and impose the crummy tasks on others. That’s a purpose of hierarchy. So when you come together to share the unpleasant work it’s an attack on hierarchy. Because what’s the point of hierarchy if not getting someone else to do what you don’t want to do? What is hierarchy but a way to escape your share of the responsibilities?
