Also, $70K is absolutely terrible in Seattle. I don't know why everyone applauded. He was massively underpaying most employees before and still did after.

- addicted 4y agoEveryone applauded because 70k was a huge improvement over what most people were being paid in Seattle. Not everyone gets paid software developer salaries.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoSure, but his company is a credit card processing company, so there are probably a lot of tech workers. I mean, a quick look at Glassdoor will show that while they do pay their "minimum" wage workers (which is probably an incredibly small part of their employees given the industry it's in) way above market, they underpay the rest and it is mentioned in almost all the negative reviews.
- sokoloff 4y agoSounds like they/he decided to pay their workers more evenly across the different roles. That choice would be internally consistent and desirable for some.
- Broken_Hippo 4y agoYeah, lots of folks make way less than that. $70k is double the minimum wage in Seattle.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoYes but Dan Price owns a company credit card processing company, not somewhere where minimum-wage workers are legion.
