Anyone who thinks there's reward in it for the workers is naive. Unless the worker gets paid in undilutable shares of the company, all the reward goes to the owner. And unless an owner pays me like an owner, I'm not going to give half a shit about the company.
100%
These startup bros got real "I need an army of desperate folks who can be paid in motivational speeches to make my dreams come true because I bring nothing to the table." Energy lol.
As I always say. With these types, freedom does not mean freedom from tyranny but rather freedom to become a tyrant.
"I'll hustle and work really hard, then one day, I'll get to wear the boot! "
Yeah, it was my first real job in the field. It was a hard lesson learned.
Don't give more than what you get paid for. Don't be more loyal than the company is loyal to you.
If you don't get undilutable shares, why on earth would you work for a startup??? Unemployment has been at an all time low for the last what, 20 years? Plenty of jobs out there, the only argument for a startup is the lottery ticket.
