Gravity Payments Team Surprises CEO, Dan Price, With A Tesla

Last April, our CEO, Dan Price, surprised all of us when he decided to raise the minimum wage for the entire team to $70,000 and we recently released the early results related to that minimum wage decision, http://www.thegravityof70k.com. A year later, we turned the tables and give him a taste of his own medicine. We pitched in in some small way and bought Dan his dream car - a Tesla. This is just one small piece of what's happened in the past year.

So the lowest spec new Model S costs about $66000 in the US, and a quick google reveals that Gravity has "100-200" employees.

Even assuming the most employees and the cheapest Tesla, that's still $330 per employee (and probably more).

When was the last time you spent $330 on a gift for your boss? Never, that's when.

So much cringe. I can't handle it. Not so much the people, but the editing. And definitely the cheery acoustic kickstarter music at the end. It hurts.

If I only had a shoulder to cry on........ such as the front passanger side shoulder of a Tesla. I think that would help me a lot

Seriously though, I watched some of the shit that went down after the 70k announcement, and it was pretty freaking awful just how quickly the media moved to demonise him...

You look at CEO's who take huge payments for running companies in to the ground and it doesn't cause much of a reaction. One guy decides to give back to his staff, obviously he's pure evil.

I wish I had a boss like that to work for.
