Setting up a pay scheme now to handle thousands of employees would be very premature optimization.



But how do you deal with the newcomers? As you grow you keep getting more and more and that system they have will be harder to implement and eventually may end up just like other companies. It isn't something they shouldn't be thinking right now. It does make the current employee happy, but will this work when 10 more people are joining, 20, 30?


They can adjust when it doesn't make sense for the company. Those unhappy with the changes can choose to stay or leave.

That's harsh. I am arguing that fantasying the success of this payscale doesn't mean the company is not responsible for the welfare of the employees as the company scales and grows.
