If a company is making hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue from your work, I think it's totally fair to want a bigger slice of that.
I do realise "fair" can also mean "considerable though not outstanding in size or amount" - in that case I agree, but I'm not sure about the word "honest" here.
- NotYourLawyer 3y ago1. Revenue isn’t profit. 2. “Fair” is whatever you can negotiate. You’re not entitled to any more than you can make them pay you.
- jodrellblank 3y ago"Fair" and "what you can make someone do" and "what you are entitled to" are very different concepts. Turn this around to an employer "“Fair” is whatever work you can negotiate from the employee. You’re not entitled to any more work than you can make them do for you." - 1) if you can't make the employee do much work, you aren't entitled to much work, and that's fair. 2) if you can exploit the hell out of the employee, then you are entitled to do so, and that's fair.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoCorrect.
- qup 3y agoMaybe it's fair (I don't particularly agree), but that doesn't mean you're going to get it. Someone else will take what's on offer.
