I find it interesting when employees ask for this without reducing pay. They then think it’s a 20% reduction as it’s 20% less work. But then you factor the overhead including normal overhead like benefits, HR, office space and additional overhead like management (a manager can only many so many people so now we need two managers for a group) and your at around a 40% reduction in pay to support one less day of output.

I became vegan for heath reasons at the same time I started my company (around 5 years ago). I believe it has allowed my body to stay young and my alertness to go up.

Starting out you just think of it as one meal at a time... this meal I won't eat anything with animal protein. Then one week at a time and before you know it you will pass the 90-day mark which is when you stop being hungry all the time and/or craving meat at all.

Another thing to note is I never really think of myself as a "vegan", just someone that is extremely picky and won't eat anything with animal protein :)

Do take b12 supplements, though- I found my eye to be drooping when I became tired because I was deficient. After taking the b12 I was back to normal.

Most of the team of my startup SaleMove is in Tartu! This is yet another example of how great Estonia is for tech. If you want to develop for a great startup there reach out on our website!

Its an interesting concept. However, it may never work for one simple reason "risk". When my partners and I started our company the risk that we took was astronomical, leaving our high-paid jobs, masters, phd's to start a company. This risk needs to be rewarded and it is via equity. Building a company that is there only for its employees does not provide the founders with enough reward to warrant the risk.

This does not include the stress it takes to start and run a company, that stress should be equally as rewarded.

This law is sure to go away. The fact is that the future of car sales is the internet.

Here is an excerpt from my blog: "According to a Polk and Autotrader.com study, 70% of new and used car buyers use the internet while shopping for their vehicle, with 58% of all buyers listing the internet as the most influential element in their car buying process. But the online car buying process doesn’t stop there. In fact, eBay Motors has sold 4.62 million passenger vehicles solely online since its inception."

Carwoo seems like a really interesting concept and the website looks great! In spending time with dealers, they are constantly worried about driving prices down below what a customer would actually think is a fair profit for the dealership. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts about the commoditization of cars?

The Startup Hustler 14 years ago

I am curious of their business model. Do you pay hourly for the "hustlers" or do you only have to pay when they bring on customers. I think for this to work, Elastic Sales would have to vet their customers to make sure that they had real business models with sellable products.

haha, love the comment. I was a Management consultant and I felt the exact same way, the only way out for me was to start my own company - SaleMove. It is a lot harder, but yet much more rewording

The boarding pass should never be shown at the gate, instead you should show your ID. The agent would then check it to make sure its real and then scan it to see if your in the database to fly that day. It is a simple solution, Someone needs to build a device that can read 90% of IDs.
