Preston was free to negotiate his pay with us, and we pay him a full salary. Just no health care benefits.

Does he actually get the salary, or does the prison take huge overhead?

glommerOP1y ago

they take an (actually very reasonable) cut, but he is free to take his salary.

Huh? Universities take a 60% overhead in some scenarios.

The dude is is prison, slave like conditions are ridiculous, but there should be a healthy overhead.

No cut is reasonable.

Even in the case he doesn't, it's still an amazing opportunity to learn that would lead to a better future for sure.

Why not just pay them in exposure? I hope you can think about why the proposal in your reply is problematic.

Sounds fair, and it sounds like an excellent programme. I hope the developer's life continues on this new trajectory.
