Compensation as a Reflection of Values
The big question of this is if it&#x27;s creating &quot;culture debt&quot; that carries interest or not. Specifically, when the time comes to introduce varying comp, will there be blowback and possibly worse dynamics than if it had been that way from the beginning? Will anyone ever make less than $175k?<p>I think unless you are certain you want to maintain this forever (and it doesn&#x27;t sound like Oxide does, they see this as probably changing eventually) then you may be playing with fire for when that day actually comes.<p>I&#x27;m really interested to see how that transition goes. The current state of things is just half of the story needed to draw any conclusions about it since the full consequences won&#x27;t be understood until the company either commits to this being a permanent state of affairs, or successfully introduces variable salaries.
