How is it a cost if the company isn't paying you a salary?



Perhaps the downvoters would like to explain their logic here? If a worker chooses to donate his/her time to the company, how is that a cost for the company? Again, there is a distinction between the finances of the company and the finances of the individual involved. It's entirely reasonable, for example, for a founder to "donate" his/her time to the company, because he/she expects to gain from their equity stake in the future.
