If you are just flipping burgers for a living then that "you just work here" attitude will work.
That fuck your feelings attitude and money/share options will only go so far for some people that has lots of options in the marketplace.
Just ask Basecamp management how that worked out for them.
- break_the_bank 5y agoIt seems to have worked for coinbase! People at basecamp didn’t have any equity / incentive to stay long term. I don’t think DHH/Fried handled it well either.
- clarge1120 5y agoWe don't yet know how the Basecamp situation worked out for management. Have they backtracked on their decision? I haven't seen anything yet. We'll see in about 12 months if Basecamp loses a ton of customers because the quality of their products and services suffered too severely. And that's assuming quality will suffer at all.
