Employee vs Entrepreneur

• 15 differences - [1]
  • Some notes - Employees like structure while entrepreneurs like infrastructure.
• OSE policy is to cultivate entrepreneurship, not employees. If, legally, it is not possible for a given opportunity with OSE to offer entrepreneurship - then the employee relationship is structured to be entrepreneurial in as many ways as possible.
• According to OSE principles, creating employees is not a good thing for civilization. It is the last resort, if a person cannot be brought up to at least some level of entrepreneurship. Thus, it is the goal of any positive agent to create opportunities for entrepreneurship - and always be vigilant as to not create a dependence mindset.
• In general the difference between an employee and an entrepreneur may not be clearly defined.

Some Principles for OSE to Follow

• Employees set their own pay. This is not a freebie - this is about responsibility. For a person can set their pay only based on outcomes. With higher outcomes comes the duty of higher capacity/ability. Thus, someone who sets a higher pay must grow to or use a higher level of skill set, capacity, or efficiency that substantiates the higher pay. Simply so that the enterprise does not go under. Essentially, the employee says to the boss - "I want to get paid X." The boss says, "You need to do Y in order for me to get paid X." In this relationship, the various Ys are correlated clearly with various Xs.
• Infrastructure - Infastructure is set up for collaborators - a collaborative relationship replacing an employee relationship. Here are X resources. Make them work. In fact, pay me for those resources and then you take the profits. But publish everything, since we are open source.
• Internship - We'll hire you after you finish. We offer different tracks of learning. You tell us how much you want to get paid, and we'll train you accordingly.

Empoyment as function of GDP

• Per capita income is national income divided by population [2]
• National income is GDP + salary + rent + profit. [3]
• Per capita income is thus >> salary.
• Average us salary is $31k. [4]
• Lower, mid, upper income - per person is about <30 for lower, >80 for upper.
• Average houshold (2.2) is 68k - so this checks out with average income.
• Distribution - shocking that 10% are above 200k! That's a lot of wealth at the top, skewing median to a much higher mean.
