Could Lovable's automatic 10% pay raise be the cure for toxic cultures ...
Stockholm-based vibe-coding platform Lovable is growing revenue at an astronomical rate — and doing something that few U.S. companies, startup or otherwise, would even contemplate: voluntarily promising annual 10% salary raises for all employees on their work anniversaries. In the U.S. corporate world, employees don’t generally get built-in raises unless they’ve unionized, and even then, a 10% raise across the board is typically spread over multiple years of a contract, not delivered annually. While most companies do have stock and profit-sharing plans, what’s different here is that Lovable is sharing the wealth as a direct raise, not contingent on vesting schedules or the employee kicking in cash to convert stock options into actual shares. Now, it’s true that such a decent raise across the board is made easier — perhaps is only possible — at a smallish company. Lovable said in March that it had 146 employees. It currently has 78 open roles listed on its website, so it appears to be on track to reach over 225 people by year’s end. But it’s adding revenue so rapidly that it can share the cash with those who are creating it. In some months, it has said, it grew annual recurring revenue by $100 million. Lovable claimed in March that it had already crossed $400 million in ARR and, at one point, projected hitting $1 billion in ARR by around the end of the year. Lovable launched its vibe-coding product in late 2024 and has been on a tear ever since. It’s also true that for many companies, cash may be too precious to commit it to the permanent overhead of larger salaries. Equity compensation doesn’t cost them cash out of pocket immediately. That’s a big reason most startups default to loading up employees with options rather than raising base pay. The bigger point is that this represents a reversal of how Corporate America tends to treat employees by default. The typical process is: get hired (often through a grueling, multi-step, multi-month process) and then go through annual reviews. The message is: prove your worth to earn the offer, then keep proving it repeatedly to keep your job. If you dream of raises and promotions, go above and beyond first, make your case, then … we’ll see. Techcrunch event San Francisco, CA | October 13-15, 2026 Startup grind culture is arguably even more grueling. The trope is that employees are expected to sleep at work to potentially grow the value of their stock, then wait for the company to go public or offer them some ...
State Employee Pay Raise - $6000.00 - TEXAS STATE EMPLOYEES UNION CWA ...
TSEU Legislative Agenda 2019-20 more information, please contact TSEU Political Organizer Tyler Sheldon in the Austin TSEU office (512.448.4225) We Have Earned It – Texas Needs It! According to an FY 2018 State Auditors Report, overall turnover in state agencies is now higher than it has been since at least 1990, when the SAO began tracking turnover. At an overall average of 19.3% across state agencies, Texas agencies are at the breaking point. Direct support professionals who work in State Supported Living Centers / State Hospitals have a turnover rate of 53.5%. With the Texas Juvenile Justice Department having a turnover rate of 29.8% and the Health Human Services Commission at 27.9%. State Auditors report states that the top 3 reasons for leaving are retirement, better pay/benefits and poor working conditions. In fact, 71% of those who quit the state in 2018 said they were going to a higher paying job, with 30% saying they would be making more than $10,000/year more than they were making with the state. The legislature must increase pay to in order to retain a qualified workforce. State agency and university employees need a REAL pay raise! There is no doubt that fair salaries play a key role in maintaining a skilled and qualified workforce. State employees are the driving force behind critical services to all Texans especially to some of the most vulnerable. To ensure that Texas is able to provide high quality services to its citizens, the legislature needs to appropriate a real across-the-board pay raise for state employees and university workers. It would take a pay increase of about $13,500/year or 45.8% to bring the buying power of the median state employee salary back to its 1987 level. This is just the amount to offset the increased cost of living not covered by past pay increases we have received. And the cost of living continues to rise! In the 2015 Legislative Session- the last time state workers saw an across-the-board raise- lawmakers approved a 2.5% raise for state employees. However, the pay increase was completely wiped out by a 2.6% increase in state employee’s contribution to the ERS pension fund. On top of that, employees saw big cost increases in dependent health care coverage, meaning state employees actually saw their take home pay decrease. PAY RAISE 2019: Don’t leave out university workers – appropriate funds for a university employees’ pay raise! University employees have been left out of recent statewide pay raises. While the u...
