The employees who quit over the pay rises are better off gone. They have demonstrated that they put themselves above other employees working there. [B}They are not effective team players in my books and I certainly wouldn't employ them with attitudes like that.[/B]
I'm sure Dan will resolve his differences with his brother Lucas too, and I'm equally confident he won't reneg on his 70K minimum wage offer to employees while doing so.
Dan Price is made of the right stuff and we need many more like him in this world.
Do you employ anyone GStan?
If so, how do your attorneys and accountants like making the same money as your mail room people and janitors? Are they "good team players" and saying, "Seems fair to me I had to spend years of my life and $100,000 on my college degree and Bubba makes the same money as I do. Bubba needs money too, and we're all on the same team!"
LOL only a crackhead would think Dan Price's company makes any sense.
There's nothing wrong with paying above market rate to keep turnover low and have your pick of the best employees. That sort of thing is done all the time.
Where Dan fails is thinking the people who were making $70K because they have job skills that are worth $70K are going to just take it when he doubles the pay of the entry level staff and leaves theirs the same, saying "You're all employees, you should all make the same!"
As noted, no one is following his lead.
