I was one of the first employees at a startup. Originally a contractor. When the owner converted us all to employees, he did the math in such a way that it was clear he didn’t count weekends so we got a pay-cut. We made a big stink out of it, but he didn’t budge until there was an outage on Saturday and we didn’t fix it until Monday. There was only three of us, colluding not to fix it, but he’d have gotten away with it if the team were bigger. It’s hard to “make a stand” when more people are involved.
