Well if it's an employee why should he be taking risks? He's paid until 17h... We can be flexible no doubt, but if one week you work 60 hours to meet a deadline next week you should only work 20. Flexibility works in 2 directions. If the big payday comes it's not the employee who wins! You aren't betting with equity as employee...
