Name: Why Do We Even Have Bosses? —Rethinking Authority and Labor
Start: 2025-08-26T22:00:00.000Z

Why do we even have bosses? Is workplace authority just about organizing tasks—or is it a deeper structural issue built into the way our society works? Join us for the next Portico Society gathering, where we’ll discuss Yunhyae Kim’s paper, [Subjection to Authority in the Workplace: A Basic Structural Problem](https://politicalphilosophyjournal.org/article/id/16309/). Kim challenges the idea that workplace hierarchy is natural or necessary and asks us to rethink how labor and authority are organized.

No philosophy background required—just bring curiosity and a willingness to question the everyday.
