A well-known company in our industry is offering me under half a month’s salary for the engine driving Scriptable. In fact, it’s not even the Scriptable engine, it’s the more polished Scriptable 2.0 engine.

LOL.

Follow up on this:

After I told the company that our prices are too far from each other to proceed with the negotiation, they told me that they believe that I should only be paid for the time it takes to extract Scriptable's engine from Scriptable and hand it over to them, not for the time it took to build the engine.

Bullshit!

I wonder if they would buy an entire company with this mindset.

"Hi Tim,

We'd like to pay a half month's salary for Apple. Can't imagine it'll take you more than a couple of days to hand us the keys to Apple Park.

Sincerely,
Shitty Company"

@simonbs why didn't you tell them "fuck off" yet?
@simonbs (do you think Tesla hasn't already tried? 😏)
@simonbs is that the real reason he took that pay cut? 😮
@simonbs acquisitions take years to be effective so you can charge them for that many hours 😂
