CanuckInUSA 0 #1 May 5, 2005 Wow I can't believe a former work colleague tried to get me to join yet another startup company. What's even funnier is that this company has no money. So they've decided that the only way to get the job done would be to pay their employees in stock. Hmmm ... working long hard hours to only be compensating with stock in a small privately owned company. That doesn't seem like a good deal for me (of course my last four jobs have been with failed technology startups, so that doesn't help with my mind set). I'm not going to touch this one with a ten foot pole. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
