Wolfie Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 I know that from the customer point of view, this doesn't make a hill of beans difference, but I was wondering something. Are the developers paid a flat rate for their work (with possible bonuses of course), or are they paid a commission based on the products that they work on (or are in charge of)? I was wondering because what if one of the add-ons happens to sell like crazy (other than initial releases)? Would those who worked on it get extra payment where as an add-on that doesn't sell quite as well get less because it's bringing in less income? I can see where it could/would work both ways. If someone is working on and upgrading an add-on that is in high demand and they are providing top notch quality in the product, then it would make sense that they get a better wage (includes commission) while another add-on that isn't doing quite as well (but still popular) may get less. On the other hand, if both are putting in the same number of hours and quality of work, it would seem unfair that the product they are assigned to is affecting their income. Just thought I'd ask.
.Ian Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 To be honest, I don't care as long as the quality is high and they produce good products for me to use and to make money from!

So thought I'd ask. :) Isn't this a bit personal? ;-)I'm not asking what each person makes, just the overall structure. Hopefully, everyone gets paid enough that they don't even worry about it.
Management Lindy Posted May 23, 2010 Management Posted May 23, 2010 I don't think it's appropriate to comment on how our staff are compensated. Suffice to say, I think most would agree that we treat everyone fairly. :)
ᴡᴅツ Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 How 'bout we ask what the IPS staff prefer for breakfast!?

bfarber Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 And I only drink coffee for breakfast. :P Unless I am traveling. For some reason when I travel I must have a Mcdonalds steak bagel for breakfast.
Mark H. Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Breakfast? What's that? Oh... wait. Now I remember. That's the one giant mug of coffee (strong enough to float a horseshoe in) that I have every day when I first wake up.
Management Matt Posted May 25, 2010 Management Posted May 25, 2010 Breakfast: Coffee, protein shake, fruit, nuts.
Taylor J Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Cheerios Frosted or regular? Breakfast: Coffee, protein shake, fruit, nuts. Lol you said nuts, jk, but I also have a protein shake in the morning, then at lunch i cancel that out with a milkshake :D.
bfarber Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 You see, Matt wants to eat like the cavemen used to eat. So he has coffee and protein shakes in the morning. :D :P :whistle:
.Ian Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 You see, Matt wants to eat like the cavemen used to eat. has horrible vision of Debbie being pulled around by the hair, whilst Matt yells something in a strange tongue.
