Good for him. It's been years since I worked for a place that pays per hour. That's pretty much the point of exempt work: whether it takes you 10 hours per week

Good for him. It's been years since I worked for a place that pays per hour. That's pretty much the point of exempt work: whether it takes you 10 hours per week or 60 hours per week, you're getting paid to get the work done.
Sorry Business Insider. If you're trying to get me riled up that a 900 billion dollar company can afford to pay to the equivalent of $375-750/hr for an engineer, sorry. Even at the bottom of the bell curve, he's bringing in more value to Google than that.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoI have no sympathy for Google, but I don't think you can apply that value heuristic. The bottom of the bell curve at most large companies is actually negative. People that not only don't contribute enough to revenue to cover their salary, but actively waste other people's time. Average revenue per employee is just that, an average. It also includes work that was done in the past and keeps paying dividends even though the employee might not even be there anymore.
