You're forgetting that there's much more in the cost of exercise than just the stock price. There's taxes as well. And even just thinking about the stock price, $20,000 can be a lot of money to spend on something you can&#x27

Because that would make you less tied to the company.

""hey, why would you sell at this valuation if we all know we are going to unicorn?"" Because I want to buy a house with a fire pole.

Have you tried speaking to someone at the company about it?

"That might sound harsh, but put yourself in the CEOs’ shoes: It’s often in a company’s best interest to be able to reclaim equity if an exiting employee can’t afford to purchase his or her shares within 90 days of leaving." I&#x2

As I said in another post, most of these things are not new. They've been done. Maybe not "on a computer" or "with an app", but they've been done, and are the reason why the regulations were enacted. The startu

Yes, but going back on a deal once you've agreed makes you a dick, signed or not signed.

Like most things, reputation is important, but is second to money.

I dunno, something like "Make sure you have nice pictures" for a business where visual things (where you're going to sleep) is quite important doesn't seem that groundbreaking of advice.

"Every negative outcome that regulation is meant to mitigate (accountability, safety, reliability, discrimination, non-predatory pricing) is better served by Uber" No they're not. Try getting an Uber as a handicapped person.

"I am not sure there’s a near term alternative to this process — new ways of doing things will never see the light of day if step 1 is always “ask permission”. The answer will nearly always be no, and new ideas won’t have a chance to

Can we stop referring to business models which choose to simply skirt or ignore the law as "innovation"? I'm pretty sure the Mafia has been doing that for decades.

It's not hypocrisy in communist countries, either.

But all votes are anonymous, so the rich kid wouldn't know.

Care to point out where this guy's startup was paying royalties for the music streamed?

For one, there's no actual evidence that actually happened.

Why are we still calling this "ridesharing"? Isn't it pretty clear to everyone that there is no ride sharing going on?

Have I? Assuming that it's a large enough class to where there are at least a handful of slots for 6s, and the one rich kid is offering the money so they get the 6, I might choose 6 as well, betting that few enough people will decide t

"No, the safe option is to get organized and plan out who is going to chose the 6 points." If you think that's a safe option, you've clearly never dealt with large groups.

No they're not. They have nothing to do with your classmates. It's not a competition.

No, but I bet plenty of "ideas" people would be ecstatic about it. Maybe less thrilled that they can't pay in percentage of profit, but happy nonetheless.

I think the point is that most managers won't work for just 10%

Like I said, what happened in the past doesn't matter. All the employees see is someone taking the bulk of the reward, for not doing much at all. Odds are, we had to replace all of their shit code, or they weren't able to write an

"When you're truly passionate about what you do" I'm sorry, but that line is just absolute bullcrap.

I'm getting paid, but so are they. And seeing something like that makes it so that I work just hard enough to not get fired. Not the kind of extra mile stuff that these companies typically complain that they want to see from their empl

by s73v3r 11y ago
So? That's not a reason for me to bust my ass. You're not gonna get anyone going the extra mile by doing that.
747.
by s73v3r 11y ago
No, that's why I took the job, and why I'm doing the bare minimum to not get fired.

by s73v3r 11y ago
The point of capitalism is that profits go to those who work hard to earn them. Why would I bust my ass as an employee if you're just sitting on your ass, and you're still going to receive the bulk of the reward?

by s73v3r 11y ago
I would say that, if you're looking to try and "remote-control" your business, then it's probably a far better option for you to sell it than to keep it.

As an employee, why should I bust my ass working all day if you're just going to answer a few emails over coffee and that's it?
