I wouldn't think otherwise of a company that has a loud as fuck intro video with a pause button. The wallet with cash falling out is a nice touch.. I haven't finished it yet, and Im very excited to see how it all unfolds. Yeh!

PS. I am going to become a corporate/private investigator as a fall back.

25% GD.
That is a ton of money, I understand 10% but 25% you're screwing people unless you're all highly overpaid.

I'm thinking it might be time to work club security by night, designer by day.
- Palamino Club Security. I'll have to make a special trip out.capn_ron
- you might be on to something capn_ron. Palomino or Olympic Gardens! I'll get you VIP!Point5
- yes please. i always have too much fun at that place. usually end up watching the sunrise.capn_ron
- thinking back to 2002, I made almost $100k working design by day, club by night ... did I save a dime? ... nope :(Point5

I know they charge $150/hour to clients for my time, so I'm going to ask for a pretty high rate, and I know what they pay other contractors with a similar level of experience, so I'm in a good spot.
- TheeOtherJuan0
double your hourly rate when you where full time with them.
sample: 60,000 / 2080 = $28.64/hr x 2 = $57.69. round up... $60/hr

Update: I gave my 2 weeks, and I'll be done here on Friday. I was very lucky and found something paying more than I was making before the cut. Now, they want to hire me to do freelance at the place I'm about to leave. We'll see if they'll actually pay my rate.

Quit then say your available for freelance and charge them the going rate which will be higher than your salary. I've seen plenty of people pull this off.

A former co-worker of mine just found out his pay is being cut by 42.5% ASAP. It's messed up.
- that should be considered rapedirtydesign
- ouch! that's nuts.akrokdesign
- 42.5%?!?! holy shit!Point5
- scarabin0
screw that, i'd bounce. update your book and start applying elsewhere
i'm willing to bet the principals didn't give themselves a cut
- joyride0
start looking elsewheres - you'll never get it back if they do turn it around... or they'll treat it like a raise, when if fact it is not, just less of a cut
- akrokdesign0
damn, so...
ex. if you made 65k. you're only making around 49k.
- akrokdesign0
it's not so sunny on the other side either. (freelance).
- dirtydesign0
wait, can you work 4 days a week, 9-5?
- dirtydesign0
fuck that. 25% is ridiculous.
- Point50
pay cut #2 is about to roll in. I'm gettin real tired of this shit ... I guess it's time to man up and figure out how make money, because working a 9-5 isn't paying shit anymore.
