Depends on the profits of each company. Use a percentage of profit.

@MrBrownstone so if there are no profits?
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@eatpraylove There is no company. They are out of business.

@eatpraylove If there aren't, then to pay anyone, including the CEO, would be a loss. That is unsustainable.

@MrBrownstone @33person not sure you guys know about profit. I can pay the founder, the ceo, the cfo and the coo each a million dollars per year, have a company plane and a couple pilots, fly all over the world and show no profit. companies do it all the time. so with your idea, they don't have to pay their employees much.

@eatpraylove Actually you can’t.

@eatpraylove Then we should change how we are allowed to do accounting.

@MrBrownstone you are absolutely incorrect. companies do I all the time. even companies that operate at a loss on borrowed money.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@eatpraylove FTC and investors would not allow that.

@MrBrownstone look up profits for Uber, Twitter and Snapchat. look up their executive pay too. just to name 3. I think amazon is even on the list of companies that have never had a profit. not to mention, all colleges and huge non profit companies like the united way. they pay executives millions. with no profit. look up Harvard and yale.

@eatpraylove Looks like Uber has profits.

@MrBrownstone in 2017, uber lost 4.5 billion.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@eatpraylove But you said Uber had no profits? You wish to continue? Already proved you wrong.

@MrBrownstone you win. have a happy day and a happy life.
