If your "DAO" makes you negotiate with token holders for fair pay, decent working conditions, or to modify your working agreements..

You don't have a DAO. You have a boss.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

There's no one answer, but I think most people should agree that it should be:

- Decentralized: Not concentrating power into the hand of those with the most wealth, over others with less wealth
- Autonomous: Not forcing participants to accept domination by other paries through coersion or withholding of resources 
- Organized: Not a chaotic stew of influence and politics, but a structured, comprehensible system for collective action.

The methodology I use an advocate for is to build operational daos (where people work to achieve shared goals) as purpose-aligned networks of small, autonomous teams in which working groups are engaged voluntarily as sovereign entities with 100% of needed resources (or as much as practical) provided upfront upon engagement, agreeing on only the enabling constraints neccesary for each party to commit safely and and with reasonable affordances.

Not "decentralizing" key business functions onto an army of unpaid laborers whose surplus labor value accrues to token holders.
