Well, sure. But people are not programmed like that.
Sales people often can get up to or more than 50% of the profits (after all expenses) as commission. I've seen up to 80 or 90 percent for companies with extreme growth focus.
Programmers don't generate value directly the same way, but often you can attribute value to products they create and compensate them fairly.
- lolinder 4y agoPersonally, I don't envy the salespeople their commission-based compensation. Having my compensation directly tied to demonstrable value created would be overly stressful for me. The bargain I've made instead is that I get a very good base salary and call it a day. When the company grows because of my contributions, I negotiate a higher salary, but I don't have to think about it from month to month.
