> I think having an employee that is not interested in money, is also not interested in the success of your business. Its that simple. They are obviously far, far more interested in the business than someone who's just there for the money (most people) and that will leave as soon as someone else gives a little bit more. Having a salary doesn't mean one is any more interested in the business – the only concern that provides is whether or not the business will be solvent to make payroll. If you are giving founder-level stock options, then you can demand a similar level of "interest" as a founder. Anything else, it's just an exchange of money for labor. That's it.
