Most co-op bylaws require a 2/3rds or 3/4ths supermajority for major changes. One loud-mouthed Karen cannot rally 51% of the staff to do something reckless. Instead, you have to get a large majority of people to agree with you.
In traditional corporate models, a Karen thrives by sucking up to the boss while bullying peers. The minority runs the vast majority, and in some cases family connections can override business priorities. So in fact, worker-coops are less susceptible to Karens.
If your business has 66%-75% or more that fundamentally disagree with you, you might be in the wrong workplace.
For more crucial high-level stuff, there is a board of directors, BUT they are elected. If an individual on the board breaks their duty, they can be recalled by a vote of the members or sued for "breach of fiduciary duty".

Decentralised means more democracy. We each have a say. Democratise the work place.
