I suggested we do this at work. We’ll add a tip field to our Jira tickets and whoever’s ticket is worth the most gets priority. Oh you submitted a production incident a week ago? Sorry, there’s not even $5 on it, we filter those out.
We may just get this, along with a $7.25 per hour base wage!
It's $2.13 for tipped employees.
Not in all states. California does not have a lower tipped minimum wage. It's at least $16 here last I checked (except $20 for fast food because "reasons")

The 2.13 tipped wage is a great way to know if you're in a "shithole" state or not. Only shithole states keep that.

let’s not get too lofty, the federal base tipped wage is $2.13
gotta charge less than the hourly cost of a B200 to remain employed
Fun fact, we had this at an old job. It was a charge code field in Jira. It was required whenever you requested work from an external team. It operated like a credit card with a set budget. If you bothered other teams a lot, you ran out of money. Department heads set their price.
It sounds great in theory. But a black market quickly developed, and people figured out ways to circumvent it. People created tickets for their own teams and shared laptops.
