I can’t imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.

        500 a day is $62.50/hr, that’s not very good for contracting, especially if they don’t take taxes and healthcare out. Any sort of key contractor like that ought to be worth at least $250/hr

          Seriously, that’s really low rates. Healthcare and all that overhead is usually at least double of the actual salary.

            I charge $90(CDN), pay myself around $40. Solo contractor with occasional support staff.

            Need to up my rate, it’s a bit low for what I do, even though I’m no genius or expert specialist.

        He should re-brand as a “consultant” and charge double that.

      I need a 1yr salary sign-on bonus before I clock in. I also need full pay for 120 months after any form of departure from the company.

      You know, since I can’t trust the stability of the relationship.

          Oh naturally.

          I was just ironing out what I wouldn’t be doing any work for.

          I’d get that shit notarized and then quit. Take a 10 year vacation to academia or something. Get published. 🤷‍♂️
