CEO is surprisingly unaware of how VC funding works.
They are going to ask for a pay rise, and they'll have you locked in.

Of course as usual that is likely to run into the usual myths and fantasies people have about the mixing and "changing" of licences.

They are in overcrowded cells, with poor ventilation and no AC despite extreme summer heat, and their sleeping areas are infested with bedbugs.
They are confined in closed rooms all day, without fresh air or space to move.
