I agree its a point of view thing... making people toil the fields and having right of the first night with their wives is not an exploitation, its right up there with distributing fun coupons big companies have endless supply of even if go

big companies made millions by exploiting workers, only to invest these profits into 'endeavors' aimed at replacing those very individuals with AI systems nothing extraordinary to see here

Product Manager is trifecta of project lead / product owner / customer contact person and some times even a software engineer

a good PM or Manager has much higher value than a good coder. the problem is to be a good PM or Manager in tech you need not only good soft skills but also strong technical background. a lot of people in positions dont have either.

seems to me like buffer pushers would be more viable for FANGS. embedded is fun and interesting but for individual contributor / engineer there is not much money in it. might as well open up a shop backing up ssd drives and reinstallin

Thank you for sharing, this is all very inspirational. I believe models like these are the way forward, if we want to build a society based on trust and fairness.

I would argue 25% in perpetuity is not fair. Invested sum * interest based on risk, should be paid out to initial investors and then they should become "ordinary" employees of the company. What you described is a discount version

do all employees have shares with voting rights? how do you prevent hostile takeover where 51% decide its time to fire everyone else, sell the company and run with the bag? how do you balance rewards for initial risk takers vs new hires who

I believe this "dance" to be quite ineffective for both employers and employees, as the best strategy is standard 2 years somewhere then monkey branch for 20% bump in another company. I guess this is a debate as old as time "

never going to happen for a very simple reason. what every for profit company is trying to do is to extract as much value and labor from employee as possible. dont get it twisted, this is a war and salary is strategic information. noone in
