> Bloomberg paid Igalia to implement CSS Grid in Chromium and Webkit

Oh wow I knew Igalia was an employee-owned open source company, but I assumed they were a very minor consultancy like you see lots of open source programmers running to do a couple of contracts here and there. I didn't know they were operating at the level where companies like Bloomberg were going to them. That's an incredible sign of their maturity.

I think I also read something about how they pay everyone in the company the same?

[bkardell]

Yes, all Igalians receive equal pay and are involved in all decisions!

Does that mean that a recent graduate makes as much as a Director with 20 years of experience? Or is there some other form of compensation for senior partners that is not base salary?

If everybody truly takes home the same amount, what do you do to retain talent? Wouldn't senior employees look elsewhere for better pay?

Giving everyone a true sense of co-ownership is great for retention. Plus interesting, meaningful work, good pay, etc. Why would you need to know that you make more than your coworkers?

Maybe they pay everyone like seniors?
