There is no “payout”. It’s a trade. You’re receiving a wage at the same time that they are receiving your labor. That’s how it works.

Also, you’ve chosen what to accept as payment beforehand, you’re treating it like you have to accept just beginning to work and hope that you are paid what you believe your labor is worth after.

No one is stopping you from creating a co-op if you don’t like any of the offers presented to you, either, by the way.
