Yep. When you work for Gates, you have to take a 20% pay cut, you get a few thousand shares of Microsoft stock options (not stock, just options), usually the hiring is done when the stock price is high, which means the options are worthless. Of course, Billy who is actually sitting on REAL stock, get's big huge fat dividends taxed at 20%, while the poor slobs working for him have to pay marginal rates of 50% on their bonuses and capital gains.
Of course, before you can even TALK to anyone at Microsoft about a job, you have to sign nondiscosure agreements and agree to give up something even more valuable than your first born child - the rights to anything discussed during the interview process.. Of course, if you do go to work for Microsoft, you will get credit for your work, in an "easter egg" hidden deep within the bowels of applications like Excel. Only God and Bill Gates know what else might be hidden in that code. And Bill Gates isn't talking. :-D ;-) _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
