More!

For the simple reason they know a lot of people will pay em $20 not to have to go get a money order.

The way that article is written is a little vague, but it sounds like that is how much cash and stock he received just last year - independent of any gain he received from the value of his existing stock going up.

Tim Cook of apple got paid $92 million in 2022 - a massive degree of overcompensation in my opinion, and an amount he got sued for.

If he got paid at a comparable percentage of revenue to spez last year that would have been (amusingly) a 92 Billion dollar paycheck - 1000x as much.

Regardless of how much I dislike the guy personally investors should be running away screaming from this IPO.

So… the asshole who used reddits “unprofitability” as a fig leaf for hamstringing their user base with a garbage API policy just so happens to be the same guy that got paid 25% of the entire company revenue for the last year?

What a Fucking chode.

That can vary widely across industry and circumstance. I’ve stayed with the same company (granted through a couple mergers) and grown my comp more than 10x in that time.

And while I’m not at all advocating for being any more loyal to a company than they are to you, I can definitely say seeing a big string of quick flips in jobs in their resume is a big red flag for me when hiring people.

I don’t mind people having a practical attitude to comp, but in my line of work at least I find it takes a good few months of orientation for someone to start adding real value anyway. Definitely not something I’m looking to repeat all the time with folks I hire. Granted, I also work damn hard to earn some loyalty and put “my money where my mouth is” for my people, I’d often not the case.

In any event, I’d definitely agree you’ve got to keep a close eye on your own self interest. You may run into bosses and companies that will do right by you like I have, but there is sure as hell no guarantee of it and precious little way to tell the difference till you’ve spent time there.

Frankly a plain topless shot is not in my opinion grounds for anything heavier than a PG rating

Curiously inspiring, this one

If only it could be done without being such a giant asshole that you generate an asshole-attracting gravitational field.

These assholes will stop at nothing to get you to upgrade.

I don’t think anyone questions that “he felt his life was in peril”. The question is why a temperamental moron that can’t control his feelings long enough to think before unloading a lethal weapon at his own car should be entrusted to “serve and protect” the public.

Kind of leaping to conclusions there. 90% of what is caught is done so at legal crossings and 10% at illegal. We cannot measure what we don’t catch in either case, so there is no reason to assume a disproportionate percentage of what we don’t catch is coming through illegal crossings.

You tell me. Your user name suggests some expertise.

Next time you have to fart just squeeze your butt cheeks together real hard. It’ll pop right out.

Am man, can confirm.
