Residuals are nothing magical. You can calculate the net present value of the future expected value of your work and negotiate based on that.

Of course they aren't magical. Neither are options.

Your point, while valid, doesn't change my total compensation argument at all.

Just because glimshe doesn't get residuals (or presumably employee stock options) doesn't mean others should be prevented from negotiating for residuals or stock options as part of their total compensation.
