"Kirk ran off after 5 years on the gravy train with his side hustles in various other enterprises. Meanwhile Miles has reamed in well over a million quid and enjoyed some nice breaks away all paid for by us. What do we get. "
No...they had jobs and got paid market rates. If we want to attract people who could otherwise get 400k a year in director level roles at BP and Shell, I'm afraid we have to pay them - and that's got failure or success, as it would be at a large multinational. What do we get? The opportunity to 100x our money or lose it all, and we don't have to actually do any work. That's how investment works and the way in which it's different from a job.
