Interesting read, cheers.
A while back I was discussing something similar with an acquaintance who runs his own business based in London. He had been gobsmacked to learn that not only can none of his administrative staff afford to buy a flat in London, most can't even afford to rent, and had to spend around 3 hrs (round trip) commuting daily. I pointed out to him that if he gave up around 10% of his own salary, he could raise their salaries enough that they could at least choose to rent closer and reduce their commutes to say 1 hour with a corresponding increase in quality of life and hopefully productivity. He could do the maths but he couldn't grasp the concept. Glad I left all that kind of crap behind.

I'd like to think when I my own company is large enough, ie 5 staff...
Even if I cant pay massive wages, I'd at least show and be honest that I'm giving as much as I could.
I'd want my staff wanting to work for me, see I'm an OK sort and then help to make we/them/us get more money. I wouldnt need a million a year if my staff were on 26k for a hypothetical example. See what happened to sony and Ashley Madison when a pissed off employee basically makes you lose all the money you could have originally given out not being a cunt.
