I would like to support to give the team the opportunity to demonstrate it’s capability to have a positive impact. However, the starting salaries are high, given that there is no history of this group being able to perform as a cohesive unit. I suggest a 25% reduction to all salaries for the first month, with reevaluation and the potential for gradual increase over the following months.
