Doesn't it portray more of the company's value rather than Orion's value?
- muzani 7y agoYes, but Orion's present value is no higher than the company, or specifically his team. If the company makes $5000/year and has no hope of making more than $5000/year, then Orion's value is no higher than $5000/year. If a recession hits, and Orion makes do as a waiter, Orion's value drops even with the same skills. A nail costs a few cents but the value is dependent on the product it is used in. If the price of a nail goes up to $10, it's likely people will stop using it for decorations, and only for expensive furniture and buildings. The value of the nail is still higher than $10 as long as it is used that way. But the nail keeps to a low price because it can be used in so many low value things. Most nails are worth only a few cents. And most programmers are only worth maybe $10k a year or so.
