Ask HN: What incentives do developers have to stay at myspace?

Other than the fact it's a paycheck can't see any other upside in staying. Especially after reading:

and recently

If it was me I would find another job so I can leave asap.

For those "keeping the lights on" you'd pay a bonus if they agree to stay for set amounts of time (three months to a year). If the company is sold those still standing will find themselves having a ton of job security since they know where the bodies are buried. Although the security can be an illusion sometimes...
