Ha. He's paid a percentage (the vast majority) of all the revenue he generates both for himself and anyone else at the company. Much more like a partner. No one I ever hire will just have a "wage".
edit: Updated the article to make that clear. I have no intention of hiring wage slaves, taking advantage of workers, or creating a toxic work environment. We've already had a lot of discussions about creating the best work environment for engineers ever.
- v0idzer0 4y agoEveryone has those discussions and then they wake up and have to run their business again. It’s okay to admit that you want to be the one with all the upside this time. You should and you shouldn’t feel bad about that or feel you have to lie about it on the internet
- gsibble 4y agoI think there's a healthy balance. I get a percentage of what he makes and he's fine with that. It's a much more honest relationship.
- UncleEntity 4y agoDevil’s advocate: So his wage is directly tied to how well you can manage contracts and how fast he can churn out the work? Theoretically, on a slow week he can take home zero dollars. My job is paid like that (sort of) and if I don’t work for whatever reason it costs me $0.38 and that’s just because I have health insurance through the VA. Fuck, dude, I’d love to be a “wage slave” and get paid to do nothing for three weeks. —edit— Not $0.38 for health insurance but not having that cost because socialism. Be a couple hundred to pay even if I didn’t earn a dime otherwise.
- gsibble 4y agoHow well we both manage contracts. It's both our jobs to source work. We're essentially business partners.
