Does anyone else like working the holidays? I enjoy having an excuse to avoid family gathering because there’s too much drama in my family that I’d rather be at work.

We're not open on Christmas Day, so I won't be missing any family drama. Actually, it probably won't be too bad, though I can remember some family gatherings over the years where it would have been better to be at work. Anyway, wishing you a good holiday away from the drama!

You are alone in this 😂. My family can be dramatic too, especially around the holidays, and I'd still rather be dealing with their BS than customers'.

I very much was like this in undergrad; with divorced parents and bickering expanded families, being the “black sheep” of said families (aka liberal and queer), not being able to “go home” was nice. These days I get a bit nostalgic, but it’s not like I have extra money to travel anyway, so it’s fine.

I don’t particularly like or dislike it. I’d rather have the day off, but if I don’t, I don’t mind

Has anyone received equity as contingency comp? I have a potential client with a founders dispute. He doesn’t have cash, and the other founder ripped him off and is now running the company. He wants to sue for equity and wants to pay me with whatever equity he wins. I’ve never done a deal like that. Is that even enforceable? CA law. The startup is actually quite promising.
