Unexpected Outcomes: A Thriving Business and Empowered Employees

Contrary to the predictions of naysayers, the experiment yielded remarkable results. Gravity Payments not only survived but thrived under this unconventional wage structure. Employees experienced a surge in motivation, productivity, and job satisfaction. They felt valued and invested in the company's success, leading to improved output and reduced turnover.
