I'm reminded of a bit from "The Sting", a movie about a big con. A supplier is providing the uniforms and other props for the con, and during discussion the head of the con says "Ok, how do you want to be paid? You want a cut, or flat rate?"
Supplier: Who's the mark? Head: Doyle Lonnegan. Supplier (with a disgusted look): Flat rate! --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery. -from _Calvin & Hobbes_ */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Radoslaw Skorupka Sent: Wednesday, December 6, 2023 16:07 3. I'm aware of application programmers paid in similar way. However it is exception, not the rule. And usually they are paid "in futures", because the startup cannot afford regular salary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
