- tjr225 8y agoIs my comment somehow unclear? I don't think I said or even implied that anyone forced anyone to work anywhere.
- tehwebguy 8y agoPerhaps you should just say specifically what you implied, then?
- tjr225 8y agoIf it's that unclear then I'll rephrase it: If you make a gamble that requires someone's help to pull off, and the gamble is successful, you should share a reasonable amount of your success with the people whom made your success possible. I don't think these founders are sharing a reasonable amount with their employees, and I also think it's sad that this is not only accepted, it appears to be encouraged. Also employee owned cooperatives are cool, and I wish there were more of them.
- tehwebguy 8y ago> I don't think these founders are sharing a reasonable amount with their employees Based on what?
- tjr225 8y agoBased on the percentages presented in the article that this post is based upon.
- tehwebguy 8y agoWhat should the percentage have been?
- tjr225 8y agoThe point I'm making is that my opinion is that the founders here were unfair and that American laborers should expect fairness, not that they paid them some specific amount less than they should have- though I suspect you know this. If you'd like to have a genuine discussion with me then feel free, but whatever you currently appear to be after I have no more interest in pursuing.
- tehwebguy 8y agoGitHub employees agreed to work for pay, both in competitive guaranteed wages (salary, health insurance and other benefits) and also with stock, which is not guaranteed. Sounds fair to me. You don't think it's fair -- fine, but what would be fair?
