And what happens when one of those keys changes?

Before. Always before. It really should not matter to you if it's a "bad deal for startups," as you're not a startup, you're a person with a family to house and feed.

Well, if your goal is not to compensate employees, but to get all of the money, their way is the correct way.

But if you're getting straight stock, odds are the price is so low to where it shouldn't be much. At least, nowhere near the tax bill one would get if they tried to exercise options in a company that's taken off (but not gone

Why would bonuses, which are 1) Taxed higher than income most of the time, and 2) Not guaranteed to happen, be more of a motivator than salary?
877.
by st3v3r 10y ago
The tax form wouldn't matter because, if they were misclassified, they'd receive the wrong form. Someone who is supposed to be an employee, but is misclassified as a contractor is still going to get a 1099.

Try introducing a rule that says you have to pick someone outside of your group/department that you worked with. So Sales could pick Developers, Developers pick Designers, etc.

Nope. The best ones recognize their audience, and are perfectly capable of making the same point with or without childish swearing.

Wrong. If all the offers are around the same, you're still right where you were.

That doesn't mean companies actually do it, or are able to recognize that situation until it's too late.

"You are acting like the employee has no choice." Choice is irrelevant. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to allow employers to be shady like this. None.

"A likely extremely highly paid employee" We're talking about startups, aren't we? A group of companies who are notorious for paying well below market wages because the promise of stock is supposed to make up for it? And

I don't understand this argument. Why on earth are we allowing companies to operate in such a dishonest manner? Not to mention that, usually when you try to get the information, its after you've already joined and already have som

But you're not going to get that amount of sleep if you're working long hours.

Why in the hell would I want to give HALF MY DAY to the company?

How do you ensure that they're answering it honestly, though? Or, less maliciously, that they're answering it with something in line with what you'd think is a decent work life balance?

Except that success rate was assuming that you did get the rest you needed, mainly from leaving at a reasonable time. Staying and grinding directly contradicts that, so you're not going to be rested and well in the morning, and you&#x2

In reality, though, how often does it need to be fixed NOW? Like, actually needs to be fixed now, or there will be serious consequences, and not just some manager thinks they want it now? I'd be willing to bet it's less than 10%.

It's not because employees allow it. It's because there was no change, and employers won't change. You can't blame this on employees when it means they'd get fired if they refused, and therefore not be able to suppo

It's still not relevant to the point, as this is her field of study. I would trust her to know what's going on before any random doofus on the internet.

You're right. I should have said, "You're not doing anything to help lower the price of housing."
893.
by st3v3r 10y ago
But if you buy an apartment as an investment, and just sit on it, you're not doing anything to affect the price of housing, nor anything to help the housing crisis.
894.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Depends on what you're building. If you're concentrating on high end, luxury apartments, then no, you're not gonna do much for the price of housing. To believe otherwise is to believe in trickle down economics, which is well

I don't think the point had anything to do with fast food vs local restaurants. The point was more, a suburban area might only support one or two restaurants, whereas an urban area can support a greater amount, and therefore a greater

"Is a desk of my own where I can do a little nesting really too much to ask for?" If we give you that, then you might start to think you're an individual, instead of a replaceable cog.

No, an appeal to authority is when you say that because someone is an authority in one area, they should be listened to in another. In this case, this is her focus of study. I'm sorry if you think it's fallacious, but I'm gon

So you'd be perfectly ok with certain people being counted as only 3/5 of a person, and only white, landowning males having the right to vote? What about that whole slavery thing? Cause the Constitution shouldn't be changed a

I imagine it's because those trolls still have no consequences to their actions. If people would make more public the comments of those who are the most toxic (death/rape/other violence threats, etc), by, say, sending those c
