This is irrational. You're only able to generate $50m in revenue because a giant multi-billion dollar apparatus exists and is maintained around you and that is not free. In almost all circumstances you were not the sole driver of that revenue.
- onion2k 4y agoThat doesn't matter. If your two hours are a key component in the work needed to make that $50m then nothing changes - you're still brilliant and asking you to work longer is still silly.
- tmpz22 4y agoIf you're only providing a component of the work you are not contributing the full $50m. Thats why the statement is still irrational. This argument waves "look at all this value I bring" is hyperinflated and thus dishonest to pull out every time this gets discussed. I'm not saying good engineers can't bring disproportionate value and should work/be compensated commensurately. I'm saying stop gaming the numbers like a Goldman Sachs accountant.
