Thinking back to the fellow who gave all of his employees a raise to $70K, parts of that ended up going badly for him.<p>As a thought experiment, I wonder what might go well or poorly in this case?<p>The publicity is great. Employee loyalty from gratitude and vesting. It may afford a near-term competitive advantage from capabilities like increased willingness to work overtime or rallying together during an opportunity&#x2F;crisis. Real information may flow more freely as employees feel a safety&#x2F;pride of ownership and connection to management.<p>How will new employees feel about working alongside someone with much greater compensation? Existing employees may immediately face this - since shares were dolled out by tenure, employees with several years&#x27; tenure may see themselves as rich vs. newer folks and vice versa.<p>As vesting completes, experienced employees may depart as they become financially independent. Or perhaps the windfall will inspire lifetime loyalty.<p>Will there be problems at competitors, whose employees are marginally less satisfied, knowing their counterparts at Chobani are treated so well?<p>Overall an inspiring and kind program. I&#x27;m excited to see it play out.
