Regular readers – yeah, right – might remember this post where I mentioned the ezboard CEO WordPress Blog entry where Labatt makes reference to a subset of the employment opportunities at ezboard / Yuku.

One vacancy he didn’t mention was the one for a Vice-President in charge of Revenue Development. On offer is “cash compensation in the six figures and equity options in the company” for anyone who takes the job and is successful in the role.

That’s a lot of money to be paid for from venture capital and/or advertising revenues. Maybe that’s why the whole issue of advertising revenue sharing with the Yuku board owners that was the USP when Yuku was launched at DEMOfall in 2005 has quietly disappeared from the public Yuku agenda?

And something else that’s been troubling me: remember the post from Labatt where he seeks to dispell rumours of lavish lifestyles?

“Rumors of yachts and mansions et al make us laugh (I wish. There are no yachts.  The closest we are to a yacht is my daughter’s yellow rubber ducky, and it is 3 inches long.)”

Perhaps the cost of living in San Fransisco is very high indeed, because if Labatt can afford to pay one of his staff a six figure sum then I’d expect him to be able to afford more than a rubber ducky.
