There's the classic strategy of being vauge-but-clear with one's orders ("Can you deal with this?" "Your Honor, I didn't tell him to kill anyone!") but, disregarding that, it doesn't seem in the employee's best interest. Where does the assistant's $200k/year come from after that? What if the blackmail attempt is rebuffed and the now-former assistant becomes a target for their former employer's new assistant?
- JamesBarney 2y agoMost personal assistants are not going to go find an hire a contract killer for their 200k a year job.
- dgfitz 2y agoI think focusing on the salary number misses the forest for the trees. The specific number isn’t the point. “Everyone has a price” or something.
- parpfish 2y agoyeah, that entry-level FAANG engineer money. and i'm PRETTY sure that those folks aren't paid enough that they're willing to kill for their boss
- jordanb 2y agoReminds me of that scene in Silicon Valley where Gavin clearly wants the protestors killed and he keeps dropping less and less subtle hints at his goons who clearly aren't having it.
- motorest 2y ago> yeah, that entry-level FAANG engineer money. In the US Amazon pays their SDE1s around $100k/year,with $160k total compensation that is actually relocation bonus bundled with vested stock paid in 4 years. Elsewhere, salaries are even lower. So, definitely not entry level FANG engineer money.
- antihero 2y agoThe whole point of fixers are that you pay them a high price and they have a lot of connections and knowledge and can make things happen, and a reputation of discretion to uphold.
