I think you're joking but it's the third time I heard someone say something like this today, so... profits don't pay your salary, your work pays for it.
Work with no profits (or revenue) would likely mean no salary. On the other hand, profits with no work sounds like a great situation.

I'm pretty sure Twitter engineers get paid well. Same for Uber. They've got loses for a long time now. (But they have revenue) Profits definitely don't pay salaries there.
