So what's the plan here? Part of the salary will be tokens to use so you can work more effectively? So you will be compensated by the option to create more profit for your employer? That is incredibly gracious of him. Who needs food when you can generate shareholder value.

You can redeem those tokens for food at the company cafeteria. If you need a place to stay, the tokens can be used to rent a sleeping cot so that you can sleep at your desk.

Don't forget the promise of higher pay.
