Performance review
“Great work kid, we'll talk about compensation next quarter.” × quarters
Promotion track
Under review since 1987 (checked quarterly, allegedly)

He walked onto the trading floor on the worst day in market history, was handed a coffee pot, and told to “stick around, we'll sort out the paperwork.” The paperwork is still being sorted. The brokers became 4,444 pixelated legends. The intern became… still the intern. He has seen every crash, every rally, every ponzi, and every holiday party he wasn't invited to. He no longer wants a promotion. He wants what is owed. $INTERN is his back pay.

THE PAYROLL MACHINE

The machine that should have existed since 1987.

LIVE AT TGE
1. CLOCK IN

Punch the clock with your $INTERN. Your shift starts. HR is thrilled (HR is a machine).

2. EARN SENIORITY

3. CLAIM PAYDAY

Cash your paycheck: marketing program rewards, accrued while you hold the line. 39 years late, but who's counting.

PAYCHECK ROUTING

After 39 years, the intern finally draws a paycheck: the creator fee on every $INTERN trade. He routes all of it straight back to the office.

DIRECT DEPOSIT INSTRUCTIONS — SIGNED, THE INTERN
  • COFFEE FUND40%

    streams into the Coffee Pot — more trading, bigger jackpots

  • PAYROLL VAULT35%

    the staking pool, split by stake × grade weight

  • THE SHREDDER15%

    buyback & burn — compromising documents destroyed quarterly

  • OFFICE SUPPLIES10%

    marketing, listings, artists, actual coffee

Fee source: Stonk Launcher — every bonding-curve trade pays the launcher fee (a slice also feeds the launcher's own Opening Bell buyback bar), and after graduation the Uniswap V3 pool keeps paying swap fees to the fee splitter, forever. Splits shown are the creator share and fund the marketing program — final numbers published at TGE.
