@paulg No, you mean paying people less. -
@cmall No I don't. A company trying to cut costs is happy to improve profits 10%. That is a couple weeks growth for a startup. -
@paulg "Startup culture" favours quick money for founders over fostering sustainable employment. The only progress unions stifle is that 1/2 -
@cmall That's false too. The really successful founders are the ones who think long term. -
@cmall In startups, quick money is small money. Orders of magnitude smaller.
