About (skip to bottom for proposal)
The purpose of this proposal is to renegotiate my contract with the SPS DAO and to ensure that the DAO has continuity of service as my current contract is nearly at an end. I am making the proposal now to ensure that myself and the DAO have time to prepare for any necessary hand-offs in the event that the proposal is rejected.
It's been about two years now since I've started this job and it's definitely been intense at times. In fact, I'd say this is currently the quickest pace we've ever seen the company and DAO manage to maintain and that is very much a team effort with many people, including myself, putting in massive hours and hard work. Fortunately for me, I enjoy a challenge and this job has been many things, but never boring.
All of that said, I do feel like we need to address a couple of things in regards to the terms of my employment. I feel like after nearly two years most of you have gotten to know me much better, have seen what value I bring to the project and many of you realize (and often comment on) the countless hours that I put in on this project.
The hours part is easy enough for me as this is genuinely what I want to be doing. I have been trying to get better about making myself take a day off each week (which occasionally happens) and I did manage to use one of my weeks of vacation to visit Japan this year. My second week of vacation is actually going to be a bit of a working vacation in mid-October as I'm going to use it to go and represent the DAO at HIVEfest.
I love this job and getting to work for and build value for all of us every day. I'd love to keep doing it for the foreseeable future and I hope that by this point I've proven to you that my intentions are good and that I have no problem working relentlessly on behalf of and to protect this community.
Now firmly in my 'mid-life' phase, it's becoming clear to me that I need to be doing things to take better care of myself both physically and financially, so I'll be asking for a raise to help cover the cost of health insurance and offset some of the legal fees I've been carrying related to this position.
There have also been quite a few suggestions to make my contract open-ended and after some consideration, I honestly don't see why not. It only takes a proposal or resignation to end the contract either way. This should help to provide a better sense of certainty for both my personal life and the DAO.
All of that said, thanks for your time and consideration. Let's jump into the actual terms of the proposal that I'm putting forward:
Proposal
If this proposal passes the SPS DAO will continue to employ @clayboyn in the role of Project Manger until either the DAO submits and passes a proposal to terminate that employment or @clayboyn chooses to resign at the end of a monthly billing period.
The details of the employment will be as follows:
- The rate of pay will be increased to $6,000 per month beginning in October 2025.
- @clayboyn may take up to 2 weeks of paid vacation during any calendar year at times that he determines will not be disruptive to the DAO or ongoing projects.
- @clayboyn will notify the SPS DAO Foundation board of any vacation plans.
