It is still a cost.
- bergstromm466 6y agoYes... one that is paid from the value the employee creates.
- cwyers 6y agoThe point here isn't how valuable the employee is, it's how much of a developer's time this donation buys.
- bergstromm466 6y agoIn this context are you saying that paying tax is a donation by the taxpayer/employee to the government?
- cwyers 6y agoNo. What I'm saying is that if you want to know how much developer time Debian's donation buys, you need to look at how much it costs Peertube to buy developer time, which includes all taxes Peertube must pay on employment, not just how much of that money shows up on the developer's paystub.
- ivanche 6y agoYes, it is a cost which is paid solely by employees. Where do you think money for paying that cost comes from?
- mongol 6y agoI never said anything about that. Just arguing against your false claim "there are no additional costs for the employer". If you mean something else, say that instead.
- ivanche 6y agoNo, I meant what I said. People think those are "additional costs" just because their payslip says "additional costs". To the employer, it's a simple math of "employee costs me X" compared to "employee earns me Y". All successful companies have Y > X. All bankrupt companies have Y < X.
