Scenario

When business partners disagree on employee compensation philosophy

My business partner and I are trying to hire our first employee and we can't agree on what's a fair wage versus what we can afford and it's bringing up all these questions about what kind of company we want to be versus what kind we can actually be right now.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Competing visions of ethical compensation are revealing deeper differences about company values, growth strategy, and the tension between ideals and financial reality.
