Some thoughts arising:</p><ul><li>We could pay according to hours-worked and acknowledge that those with the most responsibility are essentially at work 24 hours a day</li><li>There is plenty of scope for financial incentives in any scheme, but these need to acknowledge that any success is a group effort</li><li>It's not just about equal salaries; a model including equal distribution of equity would attract people with traditionally better-paid skills</li><li>Pay has to reflect the area where somebody lives and should really be above the £55k \"happiness\" threshold (beyond which more money doesn't make you any happier)</li><li>Wealth inequality is one of the biggest problems in the world right now so we should find a way to make something like this work, not just chalk it up as impossible after one company fails at it.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>---- Stuff we made ----</p><p>Try Donegood <a href=\"https://donegood.app\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://donegood.app</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Get Michael’s Apps <a href=\"https://goodtohear.co.uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://goodtohear.co.uk</a></p><p>Restaurants Brighton: <a href=\"https://restaurantsbrighton.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://restaurantsbrighton.co.uk</a></p><p>---- This Week's Links ----</p><p>[1] ‘We tried paying everyone the same salary.
